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".

Anyone have problems buying Money Orders with Master Card Debit gift card issued by U.S. Bank National Association. I never had problems with them before. I tried at my local Fry's and it said invaild PIN, I tried three times. Then went to USPS PO and they said general card decline. Tried 2 times. Anyone else have these problems with these cards?

I've used MasterCard and Visa GCs to buy other GCs, even other MasterCard and Visa GCs

Hi there, fairly new to MS and wondering if it's possible to buy a MO at Kroger with GC? If so, which ones are most successful? Didn't see a list posted anywhere on what works/what doesn't. I have a few metabanks I'd like to unload somewhere...

sure I live in cincinnati, ohio and have kroger everywhere so if something like this works it would be pretty ideal. if I give it a shot, should I treat it like I do when I get MOs from walmart? for example, get a MO for 199.30 with a $200 VGC?

Since you shelling out 70 cents for the MO, why not redeem 4 $200 VGCs.
Tell the CSR , "I'd like a money order for $799.30." Let them type it into their machine. Then say "I'd like to split pay it $200 , $200 on 4 debit cards , til it's done". More efficient this way

Cincinnati is Kroger country. A lot of stores to sample, til you find the right one. I live in SC, only 2 Kroger in my area. One is no help. One is perfect for me.

Yes, because making shady looking split transactions has worked so well at WM, USPS, etc. Stop being greedy and be patient before you ruin it for everyone.
