  • Kroger POS updated. Now you can not buy store gift card (Not visa / master ) with Kroger gift card at self checkout. POS will tell you "Tender not allowed". I did not test the cashier's lane but I guess it should be the same.

  • Has anyone checked Kroger prices? I tried putting the same items at Walmart.com and it came out to be 47.8 and Kroger came to 76.53…

    • I pretty much exclusively shop the digital coupons and ads when food shopping at Kroger and Safeway. Most receipts show about 40% “savings”. It’s the only way imo.

    • Has anyone checked Walmart’s prices? I find going to Meijer, Target and Amazon cheaper in my area. Albertsons prices are really out of control too, stop there for their got deals and head for the other stores.

    • I buy gift cards at Kroger for the fuel points but do the rest of my grocery shopping at Walmart or Aldi’s. You’re not the only person who has realized groceries at Kroger are getting expensive even compared to other stores.

  • I just bought $500 Airbnb gift card and it only gave me 2X. I chatted with a rep and she said that variable gift cards do not qualify for the 4X, only set amounts. Is this something new?

  • can someone please suggest alternatives other than amazon? Is the visa giftcard worth it? how can you drain the visa giftcard after you purchase it?

  • For those in panic mode, while this is not good news, 2x points still provides decent value for Amazon. Assuming you can maximize 35 gallons per fill-up, you use a method of payment providing a minimum of 5% cashback, and assuming for conservatism Kroger gas is 20 cents higher (YMMV of course) than an alternative gas station, 2x fuel points is only 5.6% more expensive than 4x fuel points. It still represents, for me, a 10.6% discount (only 5.6% based on other 5% cashback payment methods for Amazon gift cards direct at other stores) on all Amazon purchases. This beats the Amazon credit card as well.

    • Yes. That happened last month, as well. Signs are posted in the store. It appears to be a permanent change. End of an era. It was great while it lasted.

  • Does this 4x coupon work only on 1 transaction. Saying this because I tried in February and the 1st transaction earned 4x points but went back in the store next day to get some more and those did not earn 4x. Although they did deposit the extra fuel points upon calling them.

  • This is a huge blow to our strategy. We spend about $600 on Amazon a month all on 4x GCs at Kroger. I was saving $1/ gallon gas every fill up. Also stacked with the 5x Chase offer on first year freedom card, or 4x AMEX Gold, will lose serious points if this is permanent.

  • Check your receipt to make sure you actually get 4x. Bought some gift cards tonight and got 2x. Had to call customer service to get the extra 2x added to my account.

    • same. got 2x on shell & amazon. autozone was 4x after apply easter 4x digital coupon. after I called, they ended up giving 4x on shell & amazon even though in-store there's a paper tag that said amazon effective 3/20/24 is 2x.
