Kroger is currently showing two separate 4x fuel points offers on gift cards:
We speculated in the original post about stacking the two coupons together, but we wrote that it probably won’t work.
Well, apparently it does work, according to a couple Slickdeals reports. The SD user got 600 points for $100 Best Buy gift card purchase. Apparently, each coupon adds an extra 2x (2x standard + 2 bonus) so with two coupons it gives 6x total.
Another interesting thing is that apparently the vacation gift card deal worked on Best Buy cards. I wonder if Amazon and everything else will work too. Update: Twitter date points indicate that it’s working on everything including Amazon, Target, etc.
If you are reading this before midnight on 6/21, head over to Kroger for some gift cards (let us know which ones worked). If not, file this away as niche and interesting.
sucks that in SoCal max is $0.40. these offers never appeal to me. its funny too because a lot of people still dont know that and think they can get “free gas” w/ $4 off per gal. haha.
go check Vons fuel points out, You can get $1 off per G, Ralph’s points are useless to Socal
DP: I got 6x on Uber and Shell GCs.
Thanks so much for the post.
I got 6x on 2 $15 regal gift cards, stacked with the $5 off coupon. Got 180 points.
Chuck, Something not adding up here (literally). How’d we get to 6x by “stacking” 4x plus 4x? (Wound’t 4x +4x = 8x?)
Moreover, I was checking my Kroger accounts in the family today — and just after midnight, the previous 4x (for every gift card disappeared just after midnight). Yet I had this new 4x promo for the specialty cards (undefined) available at the same time. Loaded it — and never, at any time, did I see both 4x offers loaded onto the account.** (Are we presuming it was still there, even if not visible?)
Alternative theory of what’s afoot here: How about 2x (standard) plus one 4x promo => 6x? (even that’s woswer/bizarre) If this second guess right, this 6x might run a while longer…. (as in beyond today) Test that.
Second, this promo irks me — in that once again, Kroger isn’t specifying exactly what constitutes a qualifying card. I see you’re quoting this and that apparent data point suggesting everything works, but I’d hold up a second before pushing that too hard as “fact.” ( can see restaurants counting as amusement, and a lot of retailers as selling vacation stuff…. but everything? Ah never mind the doubts, Make it so.
PS: *something for us to nail down for the future: When Kroger puts on these extended 4x promos, my past experience has been that when they say it expires on a certain date, it actually means up until that date. (and dies at midnight the morning of) Noticed though your write-ups say “through.” Let’s test this too.
I explained in the post how I think they are getting 6x.
I see both, but I didn’t add it. Maybe it’s there despite not showing, as you suggest. I don’t know.
Sure, it might not work on everything. I’d guess and hope it does.
I think the standard is 2x, each bonus is giving you an additional 2x. So you’re getting 2x + 2x + 2x. Does that make sense? You can’t get the base rate of 2x twice, only once.
It’s hard to know how Kroger’s developers implemented these things. I got 12X on Visa GC last year on Oct 1st, that specific single day.
