Kroger's loyalty program, often tied to your Shopper's Card, rewards you for your everyday purchases.

Here's a detailed guide on how to see how many Kroger points you have, no matter your preferred method!

| How To See How Many Kroger Points You Have |
Step 1: Get Ready to Access Your Account!
Before we jump into the different methods, make sure you have your Kroger account details handy. This usually means your email address and password for your digital account, or your physical Shopper's Card number.
Sub-heading: Do You Have a Digital Account?
If you're new to online Kroger shopping or haven't set up a digital account yet, it's highly recommended. It unlocks a world of convenience, including easy access to your points, digital coupons, and online ordering. If you don't have one, you can create it on the Kroger website or through their mobile app. You'll typically link your existing Shopper's Card number (or create a virtual one) during this process.
Step 2: Checking Your Points Online (The Web Way)
The Kroger website is a comprehensive hub for managing your account and viewing your points. This is often the most detailed way to see your point breakdown.
QuickTip: A quick skim can reveal the main idea fast.
Sub-heading: Navigating to Your Rewards Summary
Go to the Kroger Website: Open your preferred web browser and go to
www.kroger.com.Sign In: Look for the "Sign In" button, usually located in the top right corner of the page. Click it and enter your email address and password. If you have multiple accounts or are having trouble, ensure you're using the correct credentials for the account linked to your Shopper's Card.
Access Your Account Dashboard: Once logged in, you'll typically be directed to your account dashboard or a similar landing page.
Find "Rewards" or "Points": Look for a section or menu item labeled "Rewards," "My Points," or "Fuel Points." This might be under a main menu (often a "three-line" or "hamburger" icon) or directly visible on your dashboard. Kroger sometimes updates their website layout, so the exact wording might vary slightly.
View Your Point Balance: Clicking on "Rewards" or "Points" should take you to a page displaying your current point balances. You'll usually see:
Current Fuel Points: This shows you how many fuel points you've accumulated for the current earning period.
Points for Rewards Cash (if applicable): Some Kroger programs also offer the option to redeem points for dollars off your groceries. This section would display those points.
Expiration Dates: Pay close attention to any expiration dates associated with your points. Fuel points typically expire at the end of the following month after they are earned.
Step 3: Checking Your Points via the Kroger App (On the Go!)
The Kroger mobile app is incredibly convenient for checking your points on the go, whether you're at home, in the store, or even at the gas station.

Download and Open the Kroger App: If you haven't already, download the "Kroger" app from your device's app store (Google Play Store for Android or Apple App Store for iOS). Once downloaded, open the app.
Sign In: Log in to your Kroger digital account using your email address and password.
Navigate to Rewards: Once logged in, look for a section or icon related to "Rewards," "Fuel Points," or "My Account." This is often found on the main dashboard, or within a menu accessible via a "hamburger" icon.
See Your Points Instantly: The app will typically display your current fuel points balance prominently. You might also see other reward details like personalized offers and digital coupons you've loaded. The app is fantastic for a quick glance at your current savings.
Step 4: Checking Your Points on Your Receipt (The Old-Fashioned Way)
Every time you shop at Kroger and use your Shopper's Card (or linked phone number), your receipt will often contain a summary of your points earned from that transaction and your current total.
Sub-heading: Your Paper Trail to Savings
Locate Your Recent Receipt: After completing a purchase, take a moment to look at your physical receipt.
Find the "Fuel Points" Section: Scan the receipt for a section usually labeled "Fuel Points," "Rewards," or similar.
Identify Your Balance: You'll see your current fuel points balance and often a note about how many points you earned from that specific shopping trip. This is a simple, no-login-required way to stay updated, especially right after a shopping spree.
Step 5: Contacting Customer Service (When All Else Fails)
QuickTip: Treat each section as a mini-guide.
If you're having trouble accessing your account online or through the app, or if you simply prefer to speak to someone, Kroger's customer service can assist you.

Find the Customer Service Number: The general customer service number for Kroger is 1-800-KRO-GERS (1-800-576-4377). You can also find this on the Kroger website's "Contact Us" page.
Be Prepared with Your Information: When you call, have your Shopper's Card number or the phone number linked to your account ready. They will likely ask for this to verify your identity and pull up your account information.
Ask About Your Point Balance: Clearly state that you'd like to inquire about your Kroger points balance. They should be able to provide you with your current fuel points and any other reward balances.
Step 6: Understanding Your Points and Their Value
Knowing your points balance is great, but understanding what they mean is even better!
Sub-heading: Making Your Points Work for You
Fuel Points: Typically, every 100 fuel points you earn translates to a $0.10 discount per gallon on fuel, up to a certain maximum (e.g., $1.00 off per gallon for 1000 points). These points are usually good for a single fill-up, up to 35 gallons, and expire at the end of the month following the one in which they were earned. Always check the specific terms and conditions for your region.
Rewards Cash: In some programs, you can convert points into rewards cash, where, for example, 100 points might equal $1 off your grocery purchase. This is often an alternative redemption option to fuel points.
Earning More Points: You typically earn 1 point for every $1 spent on groceries and general merchandise. Look out for special promotions where you can earn 2x, 4x, or even more points on specific purchases, especially on gift cards or during special events!
