Kroger (Southeast) ~ Question: Kroger Fuel Discount

[HOWSWT]

hey y'all,

I was down in atlanta this week visiting some friends and I saw some Kroger ads that I've never seen before (I'm from TX) and I had some questions.

anyone know how Kroger's fuel discount program works? I saw an advertisement that you get 10 cents off a gallon of gas for each $100 purchased at Kroger. do you get 10 cents off every gallon? do you get one fill-up for each $100 purchased?

My friends shop at Publix :shrug7: so they had no idea how it works. Also, I heard you can get coupons from Kroger on your cell phone now? that sounds pretty cool, they need to bring that to texas.

thanks!

From what I understand - and I have only done it once...

Every time you spend $100 - it is cumulative - when using your Kroger card, you can get a fill-up with a 10-cent discount per gallon. If the current price is $4.05, you would pay $3.95 per gallon. It is for that fill-up and on the entire fill-up. Your next fill-up would be regular price if you don't have another $100 accrued.

Here is how it works:

1. Each time you spend money at Kroger it keeps track of you spendings on the bottom of your receipt. (PRE-coupon amount! YAY!)
2. At the end of the month, it starts over. But, the bottom of your receipt will keep the previous month's total on there.

So, for example it is now Aug 1. Your receipt would say:
JUL Spending: $250
AUG Spending:$10

3. For every $100 you spent (in the previous month) you get one discounted ($0.10/gal) tank of gas. After each fill up, your monthly total will decrease on your receipt. So after the first fill up, you'd be at $150. After the second $50.

I have used this several times. No you don't have to use the whole discount on one fill-up. For instance if you have credit for $350.00 for the month of July. Each time you get gas for July and August it will take off from your $350 points you've accumulated at 10cents a gallon until you use all $350 points. I hope that makes sense.

This isn't exactly clear. You may have $350 "points" or credits, but you only get 3 discounted tanks of gas. One discounted tank per $100 spent the previous month.

Each time you fill up you get up to 32 gallons with the .10 discount.So if you have two cars and go at the same time fill one drive away the the 2nd car can fill up. Pay for both cars the same transaction. That's how we sometimes maximize the discount.

Sadly, this does NOT work in the state of Alabama. There is a state law that you can't get discounted gas, so there is no 3 cents off at Walmart Gas and no 10 cent discount at Krogers. This is SUPPOSEDLY due to Mom and Pop gas stations that would go out of business because of gasoline being cheaper somewhere else.

I have a friend who lines up their vehicles (has 3 teenagers) and he buys the first tank of gas per month for them. If they need additional gas during the month, then the kids pay for it out of their own money. He just never puts the nozzle back in the pump...first car, 15 gallons, second car, 12 gallons, third car, 20 gallons, 4th car (his) 17 gallons. All at the 10 cents off a gallon rate. His kids have learned to all have their tanks on fumes the first day of the month.

Great deal if you can get it.
