  • Not too happy about the Kroger/Albertsons news. Both have their unique advantages for our hobby.
    Hopefully it takes awhile to get implemented...

  • I wonder which rewards program will survive the Kroger-Albertsons merger. Kroger partners with Shell, while Albertsons partners with Chevron and Texaco, and the reward programs work somewhat differently too. Remember, it's not necessarily the buyer: US Airways technically bought American Airlines, but it was the American Airlines AAdvantage program that survived, not the US Airways program.

    • I agree with your broader question, though it feels like it will be less impactful than when two airlines merge. And FWIW, the Kroger brands in SE Wisconsin (Pick n Save, Metro Market) are partnered with BP and not Shell ... I assume it is somehow regional.
