| How Can I Register My Kroger Plus Card |
Step 1: Are You Ready to Save? The Initial Connection
Before we even touch a keyboard, let's make sure you're geared up. Do you have your physical Kroger Plus Card handy? If you don't, no worries! You can often get one at the customer service desk of any Kroger store. Alternatively, during the online registration process, you might be able to create a digital one or have a number assigned to you.
Once you have your card (or are ready to get one virtually), grab a device with internet access – your computer, tablet, or even your smartphone will do. Now, let's head to the digital storefront!
Step 2: Navigating to the Kroger Website – Your Starting Point
The journey to savings begins at the official Kroger website.
Sub-heading: Directing Your Browser
Open your web browser (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari, etc.) and type in the following address:
Press Enter. You'll be taken to the Kroger homepage, which is your central hub for all things Kroger online.
Step 3: Account Creation or Sign-In – Your Digital Identity
This is where you'll either create a brand new Kroger digital account or sign in if you already have one.
Reminder: Revisit older posts — they stay useful.
Sub-heading: For New Users – Building Your Digital Profile
If you've never created an online account with Kroger before, you'll need to set one up. Look for a button or link that says "Register" or "Create an Account." This is typically found in the top right corner of the homepage.
Click on "Register" or "Create an Account."
You'll be prompted to enter some basic information:
Email Address: Choose an email you regularly use, as this will be your primary login and where you'll receive important updates and offers.
Create a Password: Make sure it's strong! Use a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols.
Zip Code: This helps Kroger identify your local store and provide relevant promotions.
Optional: You might be asked to select your preferred store at this stage. This helps tailor your online experience.
Review any terms and conditions or privacy policies, and tick the box if you agree.
Click "Create Account" or a similar button.
Email Verification: Kroger will likely send a verification email to the address you provided. Check your inbox (and spam folder, just in case!). Open the email and click on the verification link to activate your account. This is a crucial step to confirm your identity and secure your account.
Sub-heading: For Existing Users – Seamless Access
If you already have a Kroger online account, simply:
Look for "Sign In" or "Login" in the top right corner of the homepage.
Click on it.
Enter your registered email address and password.
Click "Sign In."
Step 4: Linking Your Kroger Plus Card to Your Digital Account – The Core Step
This is the most important part! Once you're signed in to your Kroger digital account, you need to associate your Kroger Plus Card number with it.
Sub-heading: Locating the Plus Card Section
After logging in, look for "My Account" or your name displayed at the top right of the page.
Click on "My Account." This will take you to your personal account dashboard.
On your account page, navigate through the options. You're looking for a section related to your "Plus Card," "Rewards Card," or "Shopper's Card." It might be under a general "Profile Information" or "Cards & Programs" section.
Sub-heading: Entering Your Card Information
Within the "Plus Card" section, you should see an option to "Add" or "Edit" your card information.
Click on this option.
You'll be prompted to enter your Kroger Plus Card number. This is the long number found on the back of your physical card, usually below the barcode.
If you don't have a physical card and couldn't get a number during registration: Look for an option to create a virtual card or use your phone number as an "Alt ID." If using your phone number, Kroger typically links it to your account automatically once you start shopping and using that number at checkout. You can then call Kroger Customer Service (1-800-KRO-GERS or 1-800-576-4377) to get your Plus Card number associated with it.
Once you've entered the number, click "Save" or "Link Card."
You should receive a confirmation message indicating that your Kroger Plus Card has been successfully linked to your digital account. Congratulations! You're now officially registered.
Step 5: Exploring the Benefits – Beyond Just Scanning
Now that your card is registered, you can truly leverage all the advantages Kroger offers online.
Tip: Reread the opening if you feel lost.
Sub-heading: Loading Digital Coupons
One of the biggest perks!
From your account dashboard or the main navigation, look for "Digital Coupons" or "Savings."
Browse through the available coupons. When you see an offer you like, simply click "Load to Card." The discount will automatically apply when you scan your Kroger Plus Card (or use your Alt ID) at checkout and purchase the qualifying item. No clipping necessary!
Sub-heading: Tracking Fuel Points
Keep an eye on your fuel savings.
Within your "My Account" section, you'll often find a "Fuel Points" tracker.
This shows you how many fuel points you've accumulated, bringing you closer to discounts at Kroger Fuel Centers.
Sub-heading: Managing Your Shopping List
Plan your trips efficiently.
Kroger's website and app allow you to create and manage shopping lists digitally.
You can even add items directly from the weekly ad or digital coupons.
Sub-heading: Community Rewards Program (Optional, but highly recommended!)
Want to support a local non-profit just by shopping?
In your "My Account" section, look for "Community Rewards."
Enroll your card by searching for and selecting your preferred charitable organization. A percentage of your eligible purchases will then be donated to them at no extra cost to you. This often needs to be re-enrolled annually.
Step 6: Utilizing Your Registered Card – In-Store and Online
With your card registered, here's how to ensure you're always getting your savings.
Sub-heading: At the Physical Store
Reminder: Focus on key sentences in each paragraph.
Scan Your Physical Card: When checking out, simply hand your Kroger Plus Card to the cashier to scan.
Use Your Alt ID (Phone Number): If you've linked your phone number, you can enter it on the PIN pad at checkout instead of scanning the physical card. This is incredibly convenient if you forget your card.
Kroger Pay: If you use the Kroger app, you can use Kroger Pay, which automatically applies your Plus Card, digital coupons, and even allows for payment all in one scan.
Sub-heading: For Online Orders
If you're using Kroger's pickup or delivery services, ensure your registered Kroger Plus Card is linked to your online account. Your digital coupons and savings will automatically apply to your online orders.
