| How Do You Get Digital Coupons From Kroger |
Step 1: Getting Started – Your Kroger Account is Key!
Before you can clip a single digital coupon, you'll need to have a Kroger account linked to a Shopper's Card. Think of your Shopper's Card as your personalized key to unlocking all of Kroger's savings, and your digital account is where you manage those savings.
Sub-heading: Create or Link Your Digital Account
-
Do you have a Kroger Shopper's Card already?
-
Yes, I do! Great! Your next step is to link that card to a digital account. You'll use your Shopper's Card number (or an Alternate ID like your phone number) during the registration process.
-
No, I don't! No worries at all! You can easily create a new digital account and a virtual Shopper's Card (or "Alt ID") during the registration process. This virtual card acts just like a physical one.
-
-
How to create or link your account:
-
Visit the Kroger Website or Download the Kroger App: You can access your digital coupons through either platform. The app (available for iOS and Android) is often the most convenient for on-the-go clipping and shopping.
-
Look for "Sign In" or "Create an Account": On the website, these options are usually found in the top right corner. In the app, you'll likely see a prompt to sign in or create an account upon opening.
-
Follow the Prompts:
-
If creating a new account, you'll need an email address and will be guided to either enter an existing Shopper's Card number or create a new Alt ID (often your phone number).
-
If linking an existing card, you'll sign in and then navigate to your "Profile Information" or "Account Settings" to add or link your Shopper's Card number.
-
-
Select Your Preferred Store: This is important as it helps Kroger personalize offers for your local store's availability.

Step 2: Discovering Your Digital Treasures
Once your digital account is set up and linked to your Shopper's Card, you're ready for the fun part: finding those amazing deals!

Step 3: Clipping Your Coupons – The "Load to Card" Magic
This is where you tell Kroger which discounts you want applied to your next purchase. It's incredibly simple!
Sub-heading: The Power of a Single Click
-
Browse the Coupons: As you scroll through the digital coupons, you'll see various offers. Each coupon will clearly show:
-
The discount amount (e.g., "$1.00 Off," "Save $0.50")
-
The qualifying product(s) (e.g., "on 2 General Mills Cereals," "Kroger Cheese")
-
The expiration date
-
-
Click "Load to Card": When you find a coupon you want, simply click the "Load to Card" button associated with that offer. That's it! The coupon is now electronically linked to your Shopper's Card.
-
Confirmation: You might see a brief confirmation message, and the coupon will typically move from the "Available Coupons" section to a "My Coupons" or "Clipped Coupons" section.
Sub-heading: Important Notes on Clipping
-
One Clip Per Household: Most digital coupons can only be loaded and redeemed once per household.
-
Immediate Availability: Once you load a coupon, it's generally active on your card immediately. However, connectivity issues can sometimes cause a slight delay.
-
No Need to Print: Remember, these are digital coupons. There's no need to print them out. They're all stored on your Shopper's Card.
Step 4: Redeeming Your Savings at Checkout
The final and most satisfying step! Getting those discounts applied to your grocery bill.

In-Store Shopping:

Shop for Qualifying Items: Make sure you purchase the exact items specified on the digital coupons you loaded (brand, size, quantity, flavor, etc.).
-
Scan Your Shopper's Card (or use Alt ID/Kroger Pay): At the checkout, before your groceries are totaled, simply swipe your physical Kroger Shopper's Card, enter your 10-digit Alternate ID (usually your phone number), or use Kroger Pay (if you have it set up in the app).
-
Watch the Savings Apply: The digital coupon discounts will automatically deduct from your total purchase. You'll see them listed on your receipt, often marked as "ecpn" (electronic coupon).
-
-
Online Orders (Pickup or Delivery):
-
If you're placing an online order for pickup or delivery, ensure your Shopper's Card is linked to your digital account.
-
The loaded digital coupons will automatically apply to eligible items in your cart as you add them. You'll see the discount reflected in your cart total.

QuickTip: Don’t rush through examples.
Sub-heading: Troubleshooting Tips
-
Coupon Not Applying?
-
Double-check the item: Is it the exact brand, size, and variety specified on the coupon?
-
Check expiration date: Has the coupon expired?
-
Is your card linked? Make sure your physical Shopper's Card or Alt ID is properly connected to your digital account.
-
Self-checkout issues: Sometimes self-checkout machines can be a bit finicky. Ensure you've completed all prompts, including hitting "Pay Now" if applicable. If issues persist, ask a store associate for help.
-
Already redeemed? If another household member uses the same card, they might have redeemed it already. Most offers are one-time use per household.
