Our Verdict
While Kroger coupons/discounts are usually only on the fixed-value cards, there’s nothing limiting this coupon from working on variable-load cards. Activation fee on a $20-$500 variable card is $5.95, and this coupon will take $3 off.
For fixed-value cards, you can load a separate coupon for 4x fuel points between those dates, but that won’t work for variable-load cards. And be sure to use a credit card with a grocery category multiplier.

didn’t show up in Harris Teeter app (just the fuel points)
Worked at Mariano’s in Chicago for $500
just did a 500 visa from Payless, worked.
I found this coupon in my QFC app. Is it safe for me to buy one $500 VGC with my new USBank Alt Rsv card through Samsung Pay (along with some actual groceries of course) to help meet my bonus spend requirement? I’m kind of a lightweight with manufactured spending, especially with USBank.
no, UAR hates any VGC/MGC purchase.
damn … thanks for the warning. Does that mean even buying one $500 VGC along with some groceries is a bad idea?
…I just bought a VGC immediately before this promotion.
Dang it.
does the same acct/phone work again? thx ,
Can I use the VGC I buy in Kroger to buy MO there?
Don’t poop and eat in the same room
Yes, you can, but be discreet about how you do it. Have the associate scan your Kroger credit card that is linked to your Kroger account(for the .10 discount), then pay for the MO with VGC and enter the PIN. Don’t ask if it’s OK, just do it and try to keep it out of sight from the associate. They will be busy processing the MO, so if you are quick and quiet about it, it won’t be a problem. If you act all shifty and guilty, you are certain to attract some extra scrutiny, so relax, and get it done quickly. The “Don’t poop and eat in the same room” advice is for newbies who ask a lot of questions and draw eyes on what they are doing. Also, go to the same Kroger often, and get to know the associates. Use their name when you talk to them, and they will get to know you. They will get used to seeing you and won’t question what you are doing. They value your business.
Thanks for replying! I already did that and was also discreet.
Happened to shop Kroger today and bought variable visa card for 500, total paid 502.95 by freedom chase card since they offer 5% points this quarter. Thanks 😊
