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".

I know Vanilla cards from 7-Eleven have a 30 min redemption delay built in. It is quite possible Walgreen Vanillas also have a similar restriction.

Technically all v/mc cards dont earn FPs but sometimes they do. Its been an absolute crap shoot and nowhere to turn unless there is a specific promo.

Not true. The terms only exclude the variable load V/MC GCs and I've never failed to get fuel points on fixed value VGCs from Kroger in over 2.5 years of monthly purchases.

Currently there is a 4x digital coupon specifically FOR fixed value V/MC GCs, which also excludes variable load.

I had that 4x loaded, and it still didn't work. I shop at Fred Meyer though, maybe specific stores are different?

I have never had any problems with the 4X coupons at Fred Meyer. You are undoubtedly aware that the 4X for Visa GCs is typically a separate coupon from the 4X for merchant gift cards.

There is definitely a redemption delay on ovvgc bought from WG. Not sure exactly how long it is, or if it is random, but I have gotten the "not authorized" a few times with different cards. Now I typically buy them on the way home from work and recycle them the next morning, so that I don't have to worry about getting the "not authorized" message.

US Bank. I just bought one today to test liquidation at local grocery. Worked for me. Others can chime in for Wal-Mart, but I want to say yes...

Question about Kroger Fuel Points -

At Kroger I can only redeem 1000 fuel points ($1 per gallon) per fill up. If I have lets say 3000 Kroger Fuel Points, am I able to use all 3000 ($3 per gallon) at Shell stations?

Denied at two Kroger brands today for MO purchase. A sign was posted at one that said effective immediately no gift cards are allowed for MO purchase. Was able to unload them at a different one in a different part of the city. Definitely not hard coded, but I've never had a cashier look at my card.

It was BAU for me at 2 kroger brands in the northwest on 9/24. Occasionally signs are posted stating they don't accept gift cards for MO but it's generally YMMV with or without the sign. Would hope this isn't the start of a nationwide crackdown on gebits like Kroger did a couple years ago.
