It sounds like you're looking to keep track of your Kroger points, and that's a smart move! Those points can add up to some fantastic savings on groceries, fuel, and even specific promotions. Let's dive into a comprehensive guide on how you can easily check your Kroger points balance.
Ready to unlock those sweet Kroger savings? Let's get started!
Step 1: Are You Ready to Track Your Savings?
Before we jump into the "how-to," the first thing you need to ask yourself is: Do you have a Kroger Shopper's Card or an online Kroger account linked to your card? If you answered yes to either, fantastic! You're already halfway there. If not, don't worry, we'll quickly cover that too.
It's crucial to have your Shopper's Card because that's what ties all your purchases and, consequently, your points, to your account. Without it, Kroger has no way of knowing you made a purchase and attributing points to you!

Step 2: Choosing Your Preferred Method to Check Points
Kroger offers a few convenient ways to check your points balance. Depending on your tech-savviness and preference, you can pick the method that suits you best. We'll cover the most popular ones:
Sub-heading 2.1: The Digital Dynamo: Using the Kroger App
For most users, the Kroger app is by far the easiest and most efficient way to keep tabs on your points. It's like having your personal Kroger savings assistant right in your pocket!
Download the Kroger App:
If you haven't already, head over to your smartphone's app store (Google Play Store for Android or Apple App Store for iOS).
Search for "Kroger" and download the official app. Make sure it's the one by "The Kroger Co." to avoid any fakes.
Log In or Create an Account:
Once the app is installed, open it.
If you already have an online Kroger account, simply log in using your email and password.
If you don't have an account, you'll need to create one. This usually involves providing your email, creating a password, and linking your physical Kroger Shopper's Card number to your new online account. This linking is critical for seeing your points.
Navigate to Your Rewards/Points:
After logging in, you'll typically see a dashboard or home screen.
Look for sections like "Rewards," "My Account," "Savings," or similar. Often, your current points balance will be prominently displayed right on the home screen, sometimes under "Fuel Points" or "Rewards."
Tap on this section to get a detailed breakdown of your points. You'll usually see your current fuel points, any bonus points, and sometimes even a history of points earned and redeemed.
QuickTip: Every section builds on the last.
Sub-heading 2.2: The Web Wanderer: Checking Points Online
If you prefer using a computer or don't have a smartphone, the Kroger website is your go-to option.
Visit the Official Kroger Website:
Open your web browser and go to the official Kroger website:
www.kroger.com
Log In to Your Account:
Look for a "Sign In" or "My Account" button, usually located in the top right corner of the page.
Enter your email address and password associated with your Kroger online account.
Find Your Points Information:
Once logged in, navigate to your account dashboard.
Similar to the app, you'll want to look for sections like "Rewards," "My Account," or "Digital Coupons & Savings."
Your fuel points balance is often displayed clearly, sometimes near your name or account summary. Click on it for more details if available.
Sub-heading 2.3: The Old-School Approach: Checking Your Receipt
While not the most real-time method, your paper receipt after a Kroger purchase can also provide point information.
Make a Purchase at Kroger:
Ensure you use your Kroger Shopper's Card (or enter your associated phone number) during checkout.
Examine Your Receipt:
After your transaction is complete, carefully look at the bottom of your receipt.
Kroger receipts often print your current fuel points balance right there, along with the points you just earned from that specific transaction. This is a quick glance, but won't show you the full breakdown like the app or website.
Step 3: Understanding Your Kroger Points
Now that you know how to see your points, let's quickly touch on what those points mean and how they work.
Sub-heading 3.1: Fuel Points vs. Rewards Points
Kroger primarily operates with two main types of points you'll encounter:
 |
Fuel Points: These are the most common and are accumulated through your grocery purchases. Every dollar you spend (on qualifying items) typically earns you 1 fuel point. These points can be redeemed for discounts on fuel at Kroger Family of Stores Fuel Centers or participating Shell stations. Often, you'll see promotions where you can earn 2x or 4x fuel points on specific purchases or gift cards!
Rewards Points (Less Common/Promotional): Sometimes, Kroger might offer specific "Rewards Points" for certain promotions, like a spend-and-get offer for specific categories or items. These might translate into a direct discount on a future purchase rather than fuel savings. Always read the terms of these promotions carefully.
Tip: Remember, the small details add value.
Sub-heading 3.2: Expiration Dates and Redemption Cycles
It's crucial to understand that Kroger points, especially fuel points, do not last forever!
Monthly Cycles: Fuel points typically operate on a monthly cycle. Points earned in one calendar month will usually expire at the end of the following calendar month. For example, points earned in July would expire at the end of August.
Redemption: You can redeem your fuel points at the pump. The points are usually converted into cents-off per gallon (e.g., 100 points = $0.10 off per gallon, 1,000 points = $1.00 off per gallon). There's usually a maximum amount you can save per gallon in one transaction (often $1.00 per gallon).
Step 4: Maximizing Your Kroger Points
Now that you're a pro at checking your points, let's talk about making the most of them!
Load Digital Coupons: Always load digital coupons to your Shopper's Card via the app or website. Many coupons offer bonus fuel points!
Purchase Gift Cards: This is a fantastic way to boost your points! Kroger often offers 2x or 4x fuel points on gift card purchases. Need a gift for someone? Buy a gift card to their favorite store through Kroger and earn points for yourself. Planning a trip? Buy gas station gift cards (like Shell) at Kroger and earn points.
Look for Special Promotions: Keep an eye out for weekly ads and personalized offers that provide extra points on certain categories like produce, dairy, or specific brands.
Use Your Points Before They Expire: Set a reminder to check your points balance towards the end of each month so you don't lose out on valuable savings!
By following these steps and keeping an eye on your account, you'll be a Kroger points master in no time, enjoying significant savings on your everyday essentials!
