Kroger Fuel Points Equate $100, 100 Points, $0.10
Kroger fuel points are customer appreciation programs and internet marketing tools that the Kroger Family of Stores offers shoppers who also fill up at Kroger Fuel Centers or at participating Shell Stations.
Points begin accumulating once Kroger Plus or 1-2-3 Rewards Visa Cardholders purchase Kroger’s point-eligible airtime and gift cards, groceries, no-contract wireless phones and non-federally funded prescriptions. Each purchase of an eligible gift card contributes twice the expected number of fuel points, whereby $25.00 in gift cards earns the purchaser 50 fuel points.
Kroger Plus Card and 1-2-3 Rewards Visa Card-holding shoppers do not earn points from buying alcohol, lottery or promotional tickets, money orders, postage stamps or tobacco.
Since Aug. 1, 2012, 11 years after fuel points’ pioneer launch in Cincinnati, Ohio, each out-of-pocket dollar in new, refilled, transferred non-federal-funded prescriptions earns one point.

Tolovaj, Thank you for visiting, and for the most amusing, so true reference to keeping track of all the cards that we end up sorting through to match discounts and points with their correct dispenser.
I like all kinds of loyalty related points and discounts and I believe they may add significant value through time. We don't have Kroger in out country but gas services with similar programs are quite popular. The only problem is to keep track of all the cards...
sandyspider, Thank you! It would be such a customer appreciation move if all places that sell gas would do likewise.
Good information on fuel points.
Okay, gave this a go, I shop for gas primarily at Costco because they, hands down, have the best price. However I recently went to a Shell station. I was pleased to see I could use my Kroger fuel points. Now it should be noted that I do not shop at Kroger much, I prefer Trader Joes, Costco, World Market and Raisin Rack and yet I pop in Kroger from time to time, my two daughters do as well and we all use our member number when checking out. I get my prescriptions there, just have for years, I'm not much for changing my routine... Anyway I was surprised to learn that I had earned 30 cents off per gallon. YAY, Thanks for the heads up!
katiem2, Most important of all is shopping where you get what you want when and how you want it. Fuel points work nicely for those who like or need to monitor coupons, discounts, mark-downs and mega-sales since at most they provide one dollar per gallon off once a month at the pump and since they tend to be calculated on the original, not the coupon, discount, mark-down or sale, price of eligible items.
I hear people talking about Kroger fuel points, I now know there is more to be excited about. I am terrible when it comes to using fuel points, I am lazy I opt to buy gas at Costco. I don't use coupons and well I am an epic fail when it comes to savvy shopping. I do like to read, learn and try to do better.
sandyspider, Great! The fuel prices at Kroger already are competitive with the other stations in the area so a dollar off every month is very nice.
Wow, I have learned something new with Kroger fuel points.
