Are you ready to unlock a world of savings, personalized offers, and exclusive benefits at Kroger? Registering your Kroger Plus Card online is the key to maximizing your grocery budget and making your shopping experience even more rewarding! Let's dive in and get you set up with your digital Kroger account.
How to Register Your Kroger Plus Card Online: Your Step-by-Step Guide to Savings
Having a Kroger Plus Card is fantastic, but linking it to an online account takes its power to the next level. Imagine clipping digital coupons with a single click, tracking your fuel points, and receiving personalized deals tailored to your shopping habits. That's what a registered online account offers!
Step 1: Gather Your Essentials (And Maybe Grab a Snack!)
Before we begin, let's make sure you have everything you need at hand. This will make the registration process smooth and quick.
Your Kroger Plus Card: This is crucial! You'll need the 12-digit number located on the back of your physical card. If you use your phone number as an "Alt ID" instead of a physical card, don't worry, we'll cover how to find that number if you don't already know it.
A Valid Email Address: This will be your primary login for your online account and where you'll receive important updates and exclusive offers.
A Secure Password: Choose something strong and memorable, combining uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols.
Your Zip Code: This helps Kroger locate your preferred store and provide relevant local deals.
Optional: A pen and paper to jot down your new login details!
Step 2: Navigate to the Kroger Website
This is where your digital savings journey truly begins!
Open your web browser: Whether you use Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge, open it up.
Go to the official Kroger website: Type
www.kroger.cominto your browser's address bar and press Enter. Make sure it's the official site to ensure your security.
Step 3: Initiate Account Creation or Sign-In
Once on the Kroger homepage, you'll have one of two scenarios:
If you don't have an online account yet: Look for a button or link that says "Register," "Create Account," or "Sign Up." This is typically located in the top right corner of the page. Click on it.
If you already have a Kroger online account but haven't linked your Plus Card: Click on "Sign In" (also usually in the top right corner). Enter your existing email address and password. Once logged in, you'll typically navigate to your "My Account" section to link your card, as we'll detail in Step 5.
Step 4: Provide Your Account Information
This is where you'll start filling in the details to create your personalized Kroger experience.
Enter Your Email Address: Type in the valid email address you gathered in Step 1. This will be your username.
Create a Secure Password: Enter your chosen strong password. You'll likely need to confirm it by typing it a second time.
Enter Your Zip Code: Provide your residential zip code. This helps Kroger identify your local store for tailored promotions and digital coupons.
Select Your Preferred Store: Based on your zip code, Kroger will suggest nearby stores. Choose the store you most frequently shop at. This helps them personalize your weekly ad and offers.
Review and Agree to Terms and Conditions: It's always a good idea to quickly skim through the terms and conditions. Once you're comfortable, check the box indicating your agreement.
Click "Create Account" or "Register": This will submit your initial account information.
Step 5: Link Your Kroger Plus Card to Your Online Account
This is the most critical step to unlock all the benefits!
Sub-heading: For New Online Accounts
Immediately after creating your account, you'll often be prompted to link your Kroger Plus Card.
Enter Your Kroger Plus Card Number: Carefully type in the 12-digit number from the back of your physical Kroger Plus Card.
What if I only use my phone number? If you use your phone number as an "Alt ID" at checkout and don't have a physical card, you might need to call Kroger Customer Service at 1-800-576-4377 and select option 4 to retrieve your Kroger Plus Card number. Once you have it, you can proceed with linking it.
Enter Your Last Name: Provide the last name associated with your Kroger Plus Card.
Click "Save" or "Link Card": This action connects your physical card (and all its history of purchases and loyalty points) to your new online account.
Sub-heading: For Existing Online Accounts (If Not Already Linked)
If you previously created an online account without linking your Plus Card, or if you received a new physical card, here's how to link it:
Log in to your Kroger account: Use your email address and password.
Navigate to "My Account": This is usually found by clicking on your name or a "My Account" link in the top right corner after logging in.
Look for "Shopper's Card Number" or "Loyalty Card" section: Within your "My Account" profile, there should be an option to edit or add your Shopper's Card number.
Enter your Kroger Plus Card Number and Save: Follow the prompts to input your 12-digit card number and save the changes.
Step 6: Verify Your Email Address
Kroger often sends a verification email to ensure the email address you provided is valid.
Check your email inbox: Go to the email account you used for registration. Look for an email from Kroger (it might be in your spam or junk folder, so check there too!).
Click the verification link: Open the email and click on the link provided. This step confirms your email address and fully activates your online account.
Step 7: Explore Your New Kroger Online Account and Start Saving!
Congratulations! Your Kroger Plus Card is now officially registered online. It's time to start enjoying the benefits.
Digital Coupons: Head to the "Digital Coupons" section. You can now browse hundreds of coupons and simply click "Load to Card" to add them directly to your Plus Card. When you swipe your card or use your Alt ID at checkout, these savings will automatically apply!
Weekly Ad: View your personalized weekly ad, often with exclusive digital deals.

Shopping List: Create and manage your shopping list online, making your trips to the store more efficient.
Order Groceries Online: If available in your area, you can now use your linked card for convenient online ordering, pickup, or delivery.
Community Rewards: Link your card to a non-profit organization through the Community Rewards program and help them earn donations every time you shop!
A Quick Word on Benefits:
By registering your Kroger Plus Card online, you're not just creating an account; you're stepping into a world of convenience and savings. You'll receive personalized offers based on your shopping history, making it easier to save on the items you actually buy.
