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".

Ended up with 6x
I bought a normal GC and ended up with 6x with the weekend 4x plus normal 2x.
However, my market is one of those up to 20 cents off per fillup so there is no benefit to maximise unlike Albertsons.
The 40 cents used to be a separate reward so that it actually can be used all at once, but now they went to all one big pile of points.

Any cards that were used for heavy MS at Kroger, it's not specific to card type.

Most Kroger's around DFW area stopped a while ago, but it's really YMMV. If you get the right employee and don't split payment you can sometimes leave with a MO.

Kroger timing
I still buy MO at Kroger, and WM. I usually buy my cards at Kroger and spend next day at WM. Years ago, I tried to spend the cards, right after purchasing, and some did not work right away. So I got in this routine. It would be more efficient use of my time to buy 4 cards a K , go out to car, unwrap cards , go back in same store, buy MO. Then go next door to ATM, and deposit.
do you have a routine of cycling your Kroger cards this fast, or do you find it often takes a little longer for the cards to complete the activation process.

Hi everyone,
1) my Kroger still accepts debit card for Money order purchase;
2) Kroger POS can auto drain visa debit card for standard pruchase;
My question: does Kroger POS in their money center also auto drain debit card? If it does, it will save me to ask cashier to split the total to several transactions every time. Anyone has experience? Thank you very much!

Please don't irritate the clerk with a lot of split tenders or you will wear out your welcome (and burn for everyone else). Personally, I limit each visit to two $999.30 MOs, with 4X swipes. They need to key in the first 3 $500, the 4th swipe is for remaining balance. Takes about 90 seconds start-to-finish.
