Our Verdict

Good to have a headsup on this, we’ll repost when it goes live. Make sure to use a credit card that earns at a high rate on grocery store purchases.

  • Does anyone know if buying gift cards from giftcards.kroger.com will code as a grocery purchase?

  • Can the VGCs from Kroger (usbank it looks like) be used for serve loads?
    I'm in my first year with Discover IT ($10 cash back on groceries this quarter), so this should work nicely for me.

    • bought 4 visa 100 gift card (fixed value) and got 1600 point today, loaded them up to my green serve at family dollar for free after about 1 hour. 1st FD new cashier said cash(per policy) only even though i loaded many time there with pleasant experiences, said thanks and went another FD 5 miles away and loaded them on my 2 serve cards without any issue. with loading serve, its always YMMV.

  • Can this coupon be used to buy more than one gift card in one transaction? The Ralph's coupon states "when you buy a participating gift card". No mention of multiple items in one transaction like the other coupons.

  • Ugh, curse my 15 gal Ford Fusion tank! But seriously, I'll usually scoop up 4,000 fuel points, which'll be 4x 15 gal fillups, so save $60, at cost of $50~ (sell Amazon at 95%). Good enough I s'pose

      • yes ... you can.We stand on opposite sides of the pump and easily fillup 35 between both of our cars

        • Glad I’m not the only one. And I bring gas cans. We have smaller cars and this gets us in the 30-35 gallon range

      • I do it all the time. Just be swift about it. The pump has never shutoff on me while swapping cars, but I'm usually moving fast just in case.

    • You should invest in a few 6-gallon gas cans if you have a place to store them. I have 4 6-gallon gas cans and I am able to max out 35 gallons when I go in my Chrysler 200. This allows me to visit the gas station once a month.

      • I do the same thing with 5x5 gallon cans and my Mazda 3. Savings paid for the gas cans in 2 months.

    • Dave, may I ask where you sell Amazon GCs? I sell various GCs on Raise, but their commission is 15%.

  • Love Kroger and the 4x fuel points. Filled up with 35 gallons in Coeur d'Alene last week for a little over $41.00. Used the 10% off at Kroger coupon yesterday and saved $26.

      • The gift card didn't earn points but the rib eyes, BOGO ribs, sodas, laundry detergent, cheese, etc. did. I'd never seen a 10% Kroger discount before and wanted to make it count. Almost everything I bought was on sale, mostly BOGO and multiples of 6. Total coupon savings on the receipt was $107.26 + 223 fuel points.

  • Is there any benefits buying $100 considering we only receive 400 fuel points vs $5.95 fee or something like that?

    • 400 fuel points gets you 40 cents off. If you can get all 35 gallons, that's $14 plus $2-6 in cashback.

    • Another I’ve learned is to buy the visa GC, get 400 FP on that, then use that to buy other gift cards and get 400 more.

      Was a lot easier when they sold Shell gas.

    • If you have a 5% CC with the rebate you essentially buy 400 fuel points for $1. If you max out 35 gallons that earns $14.

      If I were to do this I would pay something that doesn’t get larger rebate elsewhere (for me childcare). There are also occasionally coupons that offset some of the fees .

  • Welcome news indeed, though the headline "all gift cards" had me hoping for a second that the 4x on even variable load vgc's had at last returned. Alas, they're excluded, as per usual, via the fine print (as you include) . Still, thanks for the advance alert.

    • Without some inadvertent glitch or a large shift in the MS landscape, I'm sure they will always be excluded.
