Earning Points

You earn fuel points each time you use your Kroger Plus card. You can use these points to lower what you pay for gas at Kroger and participating Shell stations. Each dollar you spend earns you one fuel point and 100 fuel points are worth 10 cents off each gallon of gas. You earn points when you buy groceries, gift cards or pay for prescriptions that are not government-funded. You earn twice the points when you purchase a gift card. For instance, a $50 gift card earns you 100 points. Kroger provides details of the program on its website.

Knowing the Rules

You can't combine Kroger's digital coupons with paper coupons for the same product. If you swipe your card before you submit the paper coupon, the scanner will apply the downloaded digital coupon immediately and reject the paper coupon. It isn't possible to remove the digital coupon once it's applied.
