You should buy vgc on weekend. If you register your Kroger plus, you should get 4x on weekended from now to sometime August. It will be 80c off. I only go to kroger on weekend for VGC. mo, and shopping.

A few week ago, I purchased $50 groupon gc for $35 on Kroger. I got two with $70 and 280 gas point with OBC.

Gift cards (vgc) are always 2x...They only run 4x on gc every now and then. It says in the terms for the summer double that GC are excluded from doubling.

Doctor of Credit blog recently stated that fixed VGC and MCGC don't get gas points. Did something change recently?

I think you might have misread something. I just did a search on kroger on his website and didn't see anything referencing that.

Boy am I confused. The $15 coupon deal is with Safeway. His blog post is for Safeway. But it does say no gas points for fixed MC gift cards, which I thought wasn't true.

What's to be confused about? That article is about Safeway - this is a Kroger thread...not the same store...

It's sustainable even if at 2x assuming 5x grocery CC is used...more work involved & eats "profit" a little more...but don't lose on the fees assessed.

If Sunday was 6/1, the points would be good thru 7/31. I don't buy the $100 vgc's for points...too much of a hassle to liquidate with the high volumes I already do. I only buy reg gc's (amazon,Starbucks,etc). And in my family we use 35gal every week so the more I can earn at 4x, the easier my life is (and the less likely it will be that I buy something I don't realllly need on amazon haha).

Usually I don't have any trouble seeing the digital 4X coupon, but this time it's not showing in my account. Any suggestions on where to find it would be most helpful.

I'm not talking about straight forward $100 @ 2x, and you lose some on fees if you take this pathway. By using other pathways, you can come out on top excluding the consideration of gains from the fuel.
