This thread is a continuation of the previous discussion located here.
See post #412 - Ordering gc's thru the Kroger site will post fuel points to the associated shopper card upon shipment of physical cards and email delivery for e-gc's. Points are earned in the same increments as if you bought them at the store (usually 2x or 4x if there is a promotion). Transactions are processed by GiftCardMall and therefore do not earn additional points/cb from your credit card issuer for a "supermarket purchase".

Thanks for the update, I tried my close by Kroger and they were not having anything to do with "non bank issued debit cards" for MO so I didn't even bother with check free pay. I was impressed because with other stores I am able to use the VGC fro GCM that have my name printed on them.

I think Kroger corporate is cracking down. Our Kroger owned chain Harris Teeter has gone from 70% success rate to close to zero lately.

my experience as well. i had at least 8 totally reliable Krogers, now i have zero. they all seem to have the same training now- 'i need to see the card that you're using', and then they watch like a hawk- the old card switch-a-roo has been busted twice and i don't think i can endure being 'caught' again- i felt like Dillinger! perhaps a magic camp to learn sleight of hand is in my future! ha. joking. or am i...

My Kroger is still a beauty. Terminals to swipe card can't even be seen by CS. Been offloading the MCGCs from Sam s Club and some Simon VGCs for MO without a problem, and with the coupon they are only $0.30 each, which is even better. Only thing is my Kroger is building a huge new Kroger 2 blocks from where it is, so hopefully when they open it, everything stays the same. I have a second Kroger 2 miles away, but that one does not have the self checkout with the new software

Does anyone know if when using self-checkout you can do split payment? I have some AGCs I'd like to unload during my normal purchase of VGC. So, my thought is scan 3 VGCs, then use the AGC for payment (hoping it auto-drains) then use the credit card for the balance. Does this work at Kroger?

I think I've auto drained a VVGC before because I knew the CSR wouldn't compare with DL.

my other options are of course PO or WM; the latter will require some fast fingers

carlitos did previously answer the question; but, all krogers in my area r useless for me as all rep. asked to see bank DC or asked to swipe the card themselves; too bad, can't get MOs for .35 cents (with 50% digital coupon); anyone has any tricks to divert those cashier's attention, lol?

my experience: krogers are quite strict in general. 9 out of 10 i tried want to see my card, and after seeing, gave me the stink eye reserved for terrorist lol.
