can i use my kroger card at a shell station where theres no kroger stores in that region?

Used to have them at my WMNM. Suddenly the functionality has been disabled which is upsetting.

Was at Kroger earlier and requested 2k money orders and the sassy rep got nosy and obnoxious asking her manager, pulling out a money order book, etc. yet, most don't bat an eye at 5k gc purchases.

Just stopped by a Kroger in McKinney and one in Plano (DFW area) and both asked to see my debit cards. First time either had done that. First one denied me, second one looked at them, gave them back to me and let me proceed with the purchase. Not sure what they were looking for, maybe to see if it said "Debit" on the card.

He's mistaken.

Yes, for up to 10 cents per gallon discount.

Depends on region. In the Pacific NW you can get $1 / gallon discount.

Been saying this for a long time. This thread is a bad as the one that lists every grocery store in the country (so that heavy hitters can get there without problem as they travel around). Kills the deal for people who actually live there.

Had a VGC give me "not authorized" error trying to buy a MO today. Will try another Kroger later today. Maybe I hit them too hard in the past and they figured it out :)

Just happened to me @ two Grocery Stores (Names Edited per Suggestion)
Something is up.

Edit: I tried a debit transaction to buy items at another store and it worked. I guess its not the PIN.

Agreed. I wouldn't even mention the places that you can buy MOs in a public forum. You're sending folks to your places of operation that might not have the discretion that you do.

Used both a US Bank visa gift card and a OV visa gift card at the store that is the subject of this thread to buy you-know-what's, so MSing appears alive and well.

Anyone have an update on this? I'd like to use a point earning bank debit card for bill pay at Kroger.

As others reported, cash or check only at my Kroger.

So, I’ve been a long time lurker to the MS community. I completed a good amount of MS on Blue Cash statement that closes tonight. Over a period of months, I’ve ramped up with Amex to a significant amount multiple times my 10K limit with no adverse action from AMEX.

I wanted to share few observations about some of the local Krogers in the Dallas area. I’ve noticed they have the ones closest to Uptown been getting very suspicious about money orders. I’ve even had one lady say she wasn’t going accept my T-Mobile card because it wasn’t a debit card from a real bank. At another Kroger, I have been basically been banned from using my blue cash to purchase Metas when certain employees are working because they said it was a gift card and not a credit card. In a lot of Krogers, I feel it is definitely harder to do split accounts for Money orders and I try to only use my T-Mobile card at Kroger and go to Wal-Mart if I need to a multiple account money order. In the more affluent suburbs, the Krogers stores still seem friendly and don’t question large transactions or are happy when I say I’m getting extra points on my credit card for online spending.

I have noticed that ones that question the MS activities are usually older with a power chip on their shoulder and the younger high school / college kids don’t really care. In the end, I try to not let these low paid workers try to affect me, I guess it is part of MS fun.

Same here XtraPerks. Live in DFW also and some g-stores are definitely watching things. The TT near me post what I call a non-CC person closest to the GC stand. As I approach, before I even get to the register, she asks how I am paying for it and says I hope it is cash.
