Your Step-by-Step Guide: Linking Kroger to Fetch Rewards
Ready to start earning big? Follow these clear, actionable steps to get your Kroger account connected with Fetch Rewards.
Step 1: Are you ready? Let's begin by ensuring you have the essentials!
Before we dive into the app, let's make sure you have everything you need in place. This will make the linking process smooth and seamless.
A. Download the Fetch Rewards App: If you haven't already, the first and most crucial step is to download the Fetch Rewards app to your smartphone. It's available for both iOS (Apple App Store) and Android (Google Play Store). Search for "Fetch Rewards" and hit that download button!
B. Create Your Fetch Account: Once the app is installed, open it up and follow the prompts to create your Fetch Rewards account. This typically involves entering your email address and creating a password. Make sure to use an email address you regularly check, as this will be important for e-receipts!
C. Have Your Kroger Account Ready: You'll need the login credentials for your Kroger.com account (the same one you use for digital coupons and online orders). This usually involves your email address and password associated with your Kroger Plus Card. If you don't have a Kroger.com account linked to your Plus Card, now would be a good time to set one up on the Kroger website.
Step 2: Navigating to the eReceipts Section in Fetch
Tip: Revisit challenging parts.
With your accounts in order, let's open the Fetch app and find the crucial linking section.
A. Open the Fetch Rewards App: Tap on the Fetch Rewards icon on your phone to launch the application.
B. Access Your Account Profile: Look for your profile picture or an icon that looks like a person in the bottom right corner of the Fetch app screen. Tap on this to go to your "My Account" tab.
C. Find "eReceipts": Once you're on your "My Account" page, you'll see several options. Look for the option labeled "eReceipts" and tap on it. This is where the magic happens for linking your online accounts!
Step 3: Connecting Your Email Address to Fetch
This is a critical step, as Fetch often pulls Kroger e-receipts by scanning your connected email address for purchase confirmations.
A. Select "Connect Email": Within the "eReceipts" section, you'll likely see an option to "Connect Email" or similar. Tap on this.
B. Choose Your Email Provider: Fetch will present a list of common email providers (e.g., Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo). Select the email provider associated with the email address you use for your Kroger account and where you receive your Kroger digital receipts.
C. Authorize the Connection: You'll be prompted to log in to your email account through Fetch's secure portal. Follow the on-screen instructions to grant Fetch permission to scan for e-receipts. Rest assured, Fetch uses secure protocols to protect your information.
Important Note: Ensure the email address you're connecting is the same one that receives your digital receipts from Kroger. If you have multiple email addresses, connect the one that Kroger sends purchase confirmations to.
Step 4: Looking for Direct Retailer Connections (Optional but Recommended for Kroger!)
While linking your email is essential, Fetch also offers direct retailer connections for some stores. While Kroger isn't always listed as a direct integration, linking your email is the primary method for Kroger e-receipts. However, it's always worth checking for a direct link for future updates!
A. Scroll Through Retailer Options: On the "eReceipts" screen, after connecting your email, you might see a list of popular retailers like Amazon, Walmart, Instacart, etc. Scroll through this list to see if "Kroger" or "Kroger Family of Stores" appears as a direct connection option.
B. If Kroger is Listed (Follow Prompts): If you happen to see Kroger listed, tap on it. You will then be prompted to log in to your Kroger.com account directly within the Fetch app. Enter your Kroger login credentials carefully.
C. If Kroger is NOT Listed (No Worries!): Don't fret if Kroger isn't a direct connection option. For most users, the email connection is how Fetch primarily pulls Kroger e-receipts. The direct retailer connections are an added layer for certain partners.
Step 5: Verifying and Submitting Your eReceipts
Once your email is linked, Fetch will start scanning for e-receipts. It might take a little time for your past Kroger purchases to appear.
A. Automatic Scanning: Fetch will automatically check your connected email for eligible e-receipts. This process usually happens in the background.
B. Manually "Scanning" for eReceipts (When Desired): To ensure you're getting all your points, you can manually trigger the e-receipt scan.
From the main Fetch app screen, tap the large, orange camera icon at the bottom.
Then, select the blue eReceipt button that appears.
Fetch will scan your linked accounts for new e-receipts. Any eligible ones will appear in the "Ready to submit" list.
Select the receipts you want to submit and tap the "Submit" button.
C. Check Your Points: After submission, your points will be added to your Fetch account! You can usually see your updated point balance at the top right of the Fetch app.
Italics: Congratulations! You've now successfully linked your Kroger account to Fetch Rewards (via email) and are on your way to earning more points for every grocery run! Remember to regularly check the "eReceipts" section and manually trigger the scan to ensure all your eligible purchases are captured.
Tip: Read mindfully — avoid distractions.
