Well it must not actually be unlimited uses after all... Just bought 2 mo's on separate transactions. Discounted the first one correctly but the second rang up at full price. Logged into the app and the coupon is now gone!! Grrr.

How much was your first money order? Second one? Not the value, but how much it cost. Coupon says 50% off, but the money orders here are 79, 71 with a Plus Card.

Same experience. Actually one-time use, definitely not "unlimited". Should we file a BBB complaint?

Definitely! And we should probably write to the Kroger CEO, blast them on twitter & FB and contact the news letting them know of the false advertising!! This coupon should have saved me tens of dollars but instead all I saved was a measly quarter lol.
In other news, I found a dime on the ground today... four more and I'll have a fee free mo. Suck on that Kroger coupon creator dude!

Money orders are a good non-trackable form of purchase. I would not input my loyalty card number when buying one...

so anyone use billpay at kroger? i searched this thread and found a few instances. I think it would be much safer to use billpay than money orders. I heard 4k wasn't allowed but 2k is, 2k billpay for $1? That's pretty easy to do.

Well crap.
Went to Kroger this morning to unload 1999.99 in VGC. Was told they just got an email this morning saying the use of gift cards to buy money orders is prohibited. CSR let me look at the email.
She said she sent an email back asking to clarify what "gift card" meant, because in her mind that mean Kroger Gift cards, and not the open-loop VGCs.
Will see what she comes back with.
Don't know if this was for the Cincinnati area ones only, or just a few specific stores.

My same experience.
Bought several money orders yesterday at different Krogers. Coupon only worked the first time.

Interesting experience yesterday.
Went to a Kroger to use my Wells Fargo Credit Card to buy three $500 gift cards. Got "Not Authorized - Over limit". I left and called WF, they say no decline came through. Went to another Kroger and got same error. Still no decline at WF. My hubby got the same error at a third Kroger.
Are they now figuring out a way to "track" the credit card used and limit it across stores in a geographic area?

I'm seeing a lot of OV MC compared to OV VGC in gas stations. Are OV MC good for getting MO at Kroger?
