About Kroger Fuel Rewards
What Are Kroger Fuel Points?
Kroger Fuel Rewards are the reward points Kroger (and Kroger Family of Brands) customers earn when purchasing fuel through associated gas stations and fuel centers. Fuel Points are very useful, as they can help customers save between 10 cents and one dollar off per gallon of fuel when filling up at Kroger.
How to Earn Fuel Rewards Points
To earn Kroger Fuel Rewards Points, customers must have an active Kroger Shopper’s Card. Fortunately, these cards are free to sign up for and provide in-store savings through the Kroger loyalty program. Points are earnable by scanning the Shopper’s Card at the pump or in the service station.
Shoppers can also earn additional Fuel Rewards Points via co-branded credit cards. The Kroger Family of Brands offers several credit cards through U.S. Bank. Many of these cards provide extra fuel savings at Kroger brand stations and fuel centers, plus additional points with every other purchase. These include cards from famous brands like:
- Kroger
- Fred Meyer
- QFC
- Ralphs
- Dillons
- Harris Teeter
- King Sooper
- Food 4 Less

How to Redeem Fuel Rewards Points
When Do Fuel Rewards Points Expire?
Kroger Fuel Points offer excellent value – but expire at the end of the month after the one in which users earn them. Because of their short shelf-life, time is of the essence for those who regularly shop at the Kroger Family of Brands and enjoy earning Fuel Rewards points.
Can You Extend the Shelf-Life of Kroger Fuel Rewards?
Because of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, Kroger began offering the chance to extend Fuel Rewards for an additional month. This bonus ran through the Summer of 2020 and allowed existing members to call Kroger at (800) 576-4377. After reaching the appropriate Kroger helpline, customers could then ask for their points to roll over to the next month.
Unfortunately, at the moment, there is no way to extend Kroger Fuel Rewards Points at present. Points earned will expire on the last day of the month after they are earned.
