Update: Kroger has increased the purchase fees for these Visa and Mastercard gift cards. $100 cards now have a $6.95 purchase fee and $50 cards are $5.95. That makes this even less of a deal than it was before. h/t Kien & Tim
The Deal
- Buy $150+ Visa or Mastercard gift cards from Kroger online & save $10 when using promo code NEWYEAR2024.
- Direct link to offer.
Key Terms
- Offer valid January 25-31, 2024.
- Online only.
Tips & Ideas
Kroger sadly doesn’t sell denominations larger than $100 online. $100 cards have a $6.95 purchase fee and $50 cards have a $5.95 purchase fee, plus there’s a $0.50 shipping fee per card. That means your net cost for $150 worth of Visa or Mastercard gift cards will be $153.90 after taking into account the $10 discount from using the promo code, so more than face value and before accounting for any kind of liquidation fees.
This deal is therefore only worth it if you value the 2x or 4x fuel points you’ll earn (depending on if a 4x fuel points promo is running when you buy it) at greater than that amount. Also note that because you’re buying these online and payment is processed by Blackhawk Network, you won’t earn bonus points by paying with a card that earns more at grocery stores.

I can’t get it to take the promo code… keeps saying its’ an invalid code :/
Link says “Valid 1/26 – 2/2”
Thanks, looks like they’ve added that since last night – I’ll update the post.
Does this code as groceries?
Nope
Do you know what it codes as
I forget exactly what category it codes as – they’ve cancelled all my orders over the past year.
I really appreciate the explanation about the payment processor. At first, it looked like another avenue for the Wells Fargo 15X rewards. But, it turns out to be the same processor as Giant Eagle online giftcards. This time I dont have test it.
I believe the code is: JUNE2022
Oops, I forgot to change the title when republishing this – thanks!
The $100 “Just Married” Visa are available for a $4.95 fee instead of the typical $5.95.
2 of those with the $10 off cost me $200.90 with shipping
Last time they ran a similar deal, Kroger took foreeeever to ship the gift cards, and then ended up sending me two extra by mistake. So, profitable for me in dollar terms, but not when you consider the 10+ calls I had to make to get them to resolve the original issue.
When I try to purchase it says not valid hmmm I am trying to get $100 and a $50 visa gift card
Stephen or anyone,
will i get 4x fuel pt for this deal before 20th? Kroger link doesn’t show a 4x pt for VGC or MC. Thx
It should do in theory.
The fee has gone up $1, so a $100 card is now $6.95 in fee. Buying two will cost $3.90 in fees (after $10 off) and $1 shipping making it about $5 for two $100 cards (or $3.90 for a $100 & $50)so not much of a deal here.
Thanks – I’ll get that updated.
