| How To Activate Hulu Through Kroger |
Step 1: Confirm Your Kroger Boost Membership Status
First things first! Are you an active Kroger Boost member? This streaming benefit is exclusively for annual Boost members.
Sub-heading: Check Your Membership
If you're already a Boost member: Great! You're on the right track. You'll need to log into your Kroger digital account to proceed.
If you're not a Boost member yet: No worries! You'll need to sign up for an annual Boost membership first. You can do this through the Kroger website or the Kroger app. Remember, depending on your Boost plan (e.g., Annual Boost or Boost Essential Annual), you might be eligible for a six-month trial or ongoing access to Hulu (With Ads).
Engaging Question: Already a Boost member? Fantastic! Skip to Step 2. If not, what are you waiting for? The savings and entertainment await!
Step 2: Access Your Boost Membership Management Page
Once you've confirmed your Boost membership, the next step is to navigate to your Boost membership management page. This is where you'll find the option to activate your streaming benefit.
Tip: Focus on clarity, not speed.
Sub-heading: Logging into Your Kroger Account
Open your web browser (on a computer or mobile device) and go to the official Kroger website (Kroger.com).
Log in to your Kroger digital account using your email address and password. Make sure it's the same account linked to your Kroger Boost membership.
Once logged in, look for a section related to "My Account" or "Boost Membership." This might be in a dropdown menu or a dedicated section on your account dashboard.
Locate and click on the "Boost Membership Management" page or a similar link.
Step 3: Select Your Streaming Benefit (Hulu!)
On the Boost membership management page, you'll see your available benefits, including the streaming offer.
Sub-heading: Choosing Hulu
Look for a section that highlights the streaming options, typically labeled "Disney+, Hulu & ESPN+" or "Streaming Options."
Click on the "Get Started" button associated with this streaming offer.
You'll then be presented with a choice of streaming services: Disney+ Basic (With Ads), Hulu (With Ads), or ESPN+.
Carefully select Hulu (With Ads). Important Note: Once you make your selection, you generally cannot change it later with the same Boost membership. So, be certain of your choice!
Enter your email address (preferably the one you want to use for your Hulu account) and click "Continue."
Review your selection and click "Confirm Plan."
Step 4: Activate Your Hulu Account
After confirming your streaming choice with Kroger, you'll be redirected or prompted to activate your Hulu account. This is where the magic happens!
Sub-heading: Completing the Hulu Activation Process
You will typically be taken to a Hulu activation page. This might be something like
Hulu.com/activate If you're an existing Hulu user, you'll likely be prompted to log in. If you're a new Hulu user, you'll need to create a new Hulu account.
Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the activation. This usually involves entering your chosen email address and creating a password for your Hulu account. If an activation code is displayed on your TV or streaming device, you'll enter that code on the Hulu activation webpage.
Crucial Tip: Use the same email address you provided to Kroger during the streaming benefit selection process to ensure a smooth link between your Kroger Boost and Hulu accounts.
Once activated, you should see a confirmation message, and your Hulu account will be ready to use!
Step 5: Start Streaming on Your Devices
Congratulations! You've successfully activated Hulu through your Kroger Boost membership. Now it's time to enjoy your favorite shows and movies.
Sub-heading: Logging into Hulu on Your Devices
Download the Hulu app on your preferred streaming device (Smart TV, Roku, Fire Stick, Apple TV, gaming console, smartphone, tablet, etc.).
Open the Hulu app and select "Log In."
Enter the email address and password you just created (or linked) for your Hulu account.
If your device requires an activation code (common for Smart TVs and streaming sticks), select the option to "Activate on a computer." A unique activation code will appear on your TV screen.
On a separate computer or mobile device, go to
hulu.com/activate Enter the activation code displayed on your TV into the provided field on the website and click "Activate."
Your device should then refresh, and you'll be logged into your Hulu account, ready to start streaming!
Troubleshooting Tips: When Things Don't Go as Planned
Tip: Read the whole thing before forming an opinion.
Sometimes, technology can be a bit finicky. If you encounter any issues during the activation process, consider these common troubleshooting steps:
Double-check your Kroger Boost membership status. Ensure it's active and annual.
Verify the email address used. Make sure you're using the correct email for both your Kroger and Hulu accounts.
Clear your browser's cache and cookies or try using an incognito/private Browse window when activating Hulu.
Ensure a stable internet connection. A weak signal can interrupt the activation process.
Generate a new activation code if the one on your TV expires (they typically last for about 30 minutes).
Contact Kroger Customer Service if you have issues with your Boost membership or the streaming benefit redemption.
Contact Hulu Support if you're having trouble with the Hulu activation itself after being redirected from Kroger.
