The Offer
- Kroger has $100 Lowe’s eGiftcard for $90
The Fine Print
- Limit of three
Our Verdict
Should be able to stack this with 4x fuel points. Use a credit card that earns at a high rate on grocery store purchases, that includes Chase Freedom & Discover it this quarter (assuming these gift cards code as grocery store). According to this it codes as giftcardmall, so no grocery earn unfortunately. You will get the fuel points though. Keep in mind Lowe’s gift cards are on sale basically everywhere at the moment.

Looks like I'm late to the party. Has this expired? I followed the direct link to the offer, but there is no mention of a discount there.
Must have, let me update.
I got an insane number of fuel points on my order - 3,240 fuel points for the $270 purchase. This happened the last time they ran this promo. Awesome deal!
I got this too - I hope they don't claw them back. Another 100+ in gas $ makes this the sweetest lowes deal in a while.
did anyone order 3 cards after 1pm est and get 12x points? i bought 1 and only got 360 points. if its still working the theory is they have a bug that multiplies by number of gc hence 4x3=12.
Saw a similar DP on Reddit. The trick apparently is to buy on a weekend (Fri-Sun) while also having the 4x gift card fuel points and 2x weekend fuel points offers activated on your Kroger account.
Just bought a Lowes GC. Had both 2x and 4x offers activated. Only goy 360 points (4x).
Darn, not sure what made the difference.
Just bought my 3, $100 giftcards, and Kroger posted 3240 fuel points to my account. Not quite sure how I score that, but thought I would share. Add this to my cash back BOA card at 2.625%, 10% military Lowes discount, and 1% ebates cash back, I got a really great deal on some stuff I was going to buy anyway at Lowes.
Does it work in store or only only for $10.00 off $100.?
No, you're just limited to the number you can use for an online order. You can actually bypass that limit by calling in however. Just did it the other day with 18 cards. It was time consuming but the rep was absolutely awesome about it. I also used a 10% off coupon.
What's going on with Lowe's lately?
Too many Lowe's gift card deals emerging nowadays.They are banking on people who loose gift cards or forget to use them. Not everyone has immediate usage.
This is a great deal. TPM is buying at 87, so a sweet money maker.
so long as you actually get paid from TPM :-)
:)
Cannot pay with Discover, not an accepted card issuer.
When you log in you are required to use a gift card mall login. Not sure how this will attach to a Kroger account to earn the 4x points. I don't have a gcm account and won't be signing up unless there are further data points to confirm the discount and the 4x points are applied.
on the checkout page, you do have a place to put your kroger account info there at the bottom part
Are you sure online gift cards still code as grocery for 5x?
Nope, let me add a warning.
No "warning" needed. Just delete that part. Have an actual source or data point anywhere to the contrary?
Do you have a datapoint that suggests it doesn't code as a grocery store? Also I thought you were leaving the site after us not posting about TPM?
Per FT
"See post #412 - Ordering gc's thru the Kroger site will post fuel points to the associated shopper card upon shipment of physical cards and email delivery for e-gc's. Points are earned in the same increments as if you bought them at the store (usually 2x or 4x if there is a promotion). Transactions are processed by GiftCardMall and therefore do not earn additional points/cb from your credit card issuer for a "supermarket purchase"."
That request is absurd. DOC is making a valid recommendation based on any possibility that they might code as Grocery.
That said, a strong warning is certainly a good idea in this case. It looks like the actual purchase may be processed by gift card mall which would kill the 5x hopes.
