| How Do I Add Kroger To My Fetch Account |
Step 1: Engage with Fetch - The Basics First!
Before we even think about Kroger, let's make sure you're properly set up with the Fetch Rewards app. If you haven't already, download the app and create an account. This is your gateway to earning points.
-
Have you downloaded the Fetch Rewards app yet? If not, head over to your device's app store (Google Play Store for Android or Apple App Store for iOS) and search for "Fetch Rewards." It's free to download!
-
Create Your Account: Once downloaded, open the app and follow the prompts to sign up. You'll need to provide some basic information like your name, email, and create a password. Don't forget to use a referral code if you have one from a friend to get bonus points right from the start!
-
Pro Tip: Explore the app's initial tutorial. It'll give you a quick overview of how to snap receipts and navigate the interface.
-
Step 2: Understanding Fetch Rewards and Retailer Integration
Fetch Rewards primarily works by scanning receipts. This is where its magic lies – it accepts receipts from any grocery store, supermarket, club wholesaler, and many other retailers. For Kroger, this means your paper receipts are your primary key to earning points. However, for online Kroger purchases (pickup or delivery), there's an eReceipt feature you'll need to leverage.
2.1: The Power of the Physical Receipt
For in-store Kroger purchases, the process is incredibly straightforward.
QuickTip: Skip distractions — focus on the words.
-
Your Kroger Paper Receipt is Gold! Every time you shop at Kroger and receive a physical receipt, do not throw it away! This is your direct ticket to Fetch points.
2.2: Navigating Digital Receipts and Online Purchases
If you primarily shop at Kroger online, whether for pickup or delivery, you'll be dealing with digital receipts (eReceipts). Fetch has a robust system for this, but it requires a bit more setup.
-
Why eReceipts Matter for Kroger Online Shopping: Fetch can connect to your email account to automatically scan for eReceipts from participating online retailers. While Kroger might not be listed as a direct "linkable account" like Amazon or Walmart, your email confirmation often contains the necessary purchase data for Fetch to process.
Step 3: Adding Your Kroger Purchases Via Physical Receipts (The Easiest Way!)
This is the simplest and most common method for getting your Kroger points on Fetch.
-
Step 3.1: Complete Your Kroger Shopping Trip
-
Go about your regular shopping at any Kroger store (or any store where you get a paper receipt!).
-
Make sure you get a clear, legible paper receipt at checkout.
-
-
Step 3.2: Open the Fetch Rewards App
-
As soon as you can after your shopping trip (within 14 days of the purchase date), open the Fetch Rewards app on your smartphone.
-
-
Step 3.3: Tap the Camera Icon
-
At the bottom of your screen, you'll see a prominent orange camera icon. Tap this icon.
-
-
Step 3.4: Position Your Receipt
-
The app will open your phone's camera. Lay your Kroger receipt flat on a well-lit surface.
-
Ensure the entire receipt is visible in the frame: the store name (Kroger), the purchase date, and the total amount. If it's a long receipt, the app will guide you to take multiple snaps, automatically stitching them together.
-
-
Step 3.5: Snap and Submit!
-
Tap the snap button (usually a circle in the middle) to take the picture(s).
-
Once you've captured all parts of the receipt, the app will process it. You'll see a confirmation message, and your points will be added to your account! It might take a few moments for the points to show up, but they usually appear quickly.
-
Step 4: Adding Your Kroger Purchases Via eReceipts (For Online Orders)
This method is for when you place Kroger orders online for pickup or delivery and receive a digital receipt via email.
-
Step 4.1: Ensure Your Email is Connected to Fetch
-
This is the crucial first step for eReceipts.
-
In the Fetch app, tap your profile picture or the "Me" tab (usually in the bottom right corner).
-
Select "eReceipts" from the options.
-
Tap on "Connect Email" or "Connect an Account" and follow the prompts to link the email address you use for your Kroger online orders. Fetch supports popular email providers like Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, etc.
-
-
Step 4.2: Place Your Kroger Online Order
-
Order from Kroger online as you normally would, whether for pickup or delivery.
-
Ensure the email associated with your Fetch account is the one receiving the digital receipt confirmation from Kroger.
-
-
Step 4.3: Submit Your eReceipt in Fetch
-
Once your Kroger order has been delivered or picked up (this is important – Fetch won't process eReceipts for pending orders), open the Fetch app.
-
Tap the orange camera icon at the bottom of the screen.
-
Instead of "Snap a physical receipt," you'll now see a blue "eReceipt" button. Tap on this.
-
Fetch will scan your connected email for eligible digital receipts. Your Kroger digital receipt should appear in the "Ready to submit" list.
-
Select the Kroger eReceipt(s) you want to submit and tap "Submit."
-
Again, points will be credited to your account shortly!
-
Important Note: Fetch typically accepts eReceipts from the last 30 days of a delivered/picked-up order.
-
Step 5: Maximizing Your Kroger Points with Fetch
Now that you know how to get your Kroger purchases onto Fetch, let's talk about getting more points!
Tip: Focus more on ideas, less on words.
5.1: Look for Brand Offers
-
Fetch partners with thousands of brands. Before or after your Kroger trip, browse the "Offers" section in the Fetch app. You'll often find special bonus points for purchasing specific brands or products that you might already buy at Kroger.
-
For example, you might see an offer for "1,000 bonus points on any PepsiCo product." If you buy a Pepsi at Kroger, those points stack on top of your base receipt points!
5.2: Daily Rewards and Referrals
-
Daily Spin: After you scan a receipt, Fetch often gives you a chance to spin a daily rewards wheel for extra points. Don't skip it!
-
Refer Friends: This is one of the quickest ways to earn significant bonus points. Share your unique referral code with friends and family. When they sign up and snap their first receipt, you both get bonus points!
5.3: Keep an Eye on Promotions
-
Fetch occasionally runs special promotions or sweepstakes where you can earn extra points or entries by submitting receipts from specific retailers or purchasing certain items. Stay updated by checking the app regularly.
Troubleshooting Tips
-
Receipt Rejected? If your Kroger receipt (physical or digital) gets rejected, check the reason provided by Fetch. Common issues include blurry images, missing information (date, total, store name), or being too old (physical receipts must be snapped within 14 days, eReceipts within 30 days of delivery/pickup). You can often correct and resubmit.
-
eReceipts Not Showing Up? Double-check that your email account is correctly linked in Fetch. Sometimes clearing your browser's cache on your device (for Android) or Safari history (for iOS) can help. Also, ensure the order has actually been marked as delivered or picked up.
-
Still Having Trouble? Fetch has excellent customer support. You can usually find a "Contact Support" option within the "My Account" or "Help Center" section of the app. They are generally responsive and can help troubleshoot specific issues.
By consistently snapping your Kroger receipts (physical or digital), you'll see your Fetch points grow steadily, bringing you closer to those fantastic gift card rewards! Happy saving!
