| How Do I Connect Kroger To Fetch |
Step 2: Understanding Fetch Rewards and eReceipts
Fetch Rewards primarily works by scanning your receipts. However, for online purchases and many loyalty programs (like Kroger's), it leverages "eReceipts" by connecting directly to your email or retailer accounts. This is how you'll connect Kroger.
Sub-heading: What are eReceipts?
eReceipts are simply digital versions of your receipts that are sent to your email inbox when you make online purchases or when your loyalty card is used in-store at participating retailers.
Fetch Rewards can securely access these eReceipts from your connected email account or directly from certain retailer accounts to give you points. This is incredibly convenient as it eliminates the need to manually snap photos of paper receipts for these purchases.
Sub-heading: Why is this important for Kroger?
Kroger, like many large grocery chains, often uses a loyalty program where your purchases are linked to your Shopper's Card or phone number. When you shop with your loyalty card, your purchase details are often sent to the email address associated with your Kroger account.
By connecting your email to Fetch, you allow Fetch to "see" these Kroger eReceipts and award you points automatically.
QuickTip: Let each idea sink in before moving on.
Step 3: Connecting Your Email Account to Fetch Rewards
This is the most crucial step for ensuring your Kroger purchases are recognized by Fetch Rewards.
Sub-heading: Navigating to the eReceipts Section
Open the Fetch Rewards app.
Tap on your profile picture or the "Account" icon, usually located in the bottom right corner of the app.
On your account page, look for and tap on "eReceipts."
Sub-heading: Linking Your Email
You'll see options to connect various accounts. Look for the "Email" option (e.g., Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo).
Tap on your preferred email provider.
You'll be redirected to a secure login page for your email provider. Enter your email address and password for that account.
You'll likely be asked to grant Fetch Rewards permission to access your email for receipts. Grant these permissions. Fetch is designed to only look for receipts and relevant purchase information, not your personal emails.
Once successfully connected, you'll see your email account listed under "Connected Accounts" in the eReceipts section.
Step 4: Ensuring Your Kroger Account is Linked to Your Email
QuickTip: Read step by step, not all at once.
For Fetch to find your Kroger eReceipts, your Kroger purchases must be sending digital receipts to the email address you just connected to Fetch.
Sub-heading: Checking Your Kroger Account Settings
Go to the Kroger website (Kroger.com) or open the Kroger app.
Log in to your Kroger account.
Navigate to your account settings or profile.
Look for communication preferences, email preferences, or digital receipt options.
Verify that digital receipts are enabled and that they are being sent to the exact same email address you linked to Fetch Rewards in Step 3. If not, update your Kroger account settings accordingly.
Important Note: Make sure your Kroger Shopper's Card or phone number is always used during checkout at Kroger stores. This is how your purchases are tied to your Kroger digital account and subsequently sent to your email as eReceipts.
Step 5: Automated Earning and Manual Scanning (if needed)
Once your email is linked and Kroger is sending eReceipts to that email, Fetch will largely do the work for you.
Tip: Don’t skip the small notes — they often matter.
Sub-heading: How Automated Scanning Works
Fetch Rewards automatically scans your connected email account for eligible eReceipts throughout the day.
When an eligible Kroger eReceipt is found (meaning the order has been delivered or picked up), it will appear in the "Ready to submit" list within the eReceipts section of the Fetch app.
You'll then simply tap the orange camera icon at the bottom of the Fetch app, then the blue eReceipt button. Any eligible eReceipts will be listed. Select them and tap "Submit." Points will then be added to your account!
Sub-heading: What if my eReceipt doesn't appear? (Troubleshooting)
Patience is Key: Sometimes it can take a few hours for Fetch to process new eReceipts. Give it some time.
Manual Scan: In the eReceipts section of Fetch, you might see an option to "Scan for eReceipts now" or to manually scan a specific connected account. Tap this to initiate a manual search.
Check Eligibility: Ensure the Kroger order has been picked up or delivered. Fetch does not process eReceipts for orders that are still pending or in "shipped" status. Also, eReceipts must be submitted within 30 days of the order being received.
Clear Cache (if persistent issues): If you're consistently having trouble, you might need to clear your app's cache or even disconnect and reconnect your email account within Fetch. (See Troubleshooting in FAQs below).
Step 6: Maximizing Your Kroger Earnings with Fetch
Now that you're connected, here's how to make the most of your Fetch Rewards!
Sub-heading: Look for Brand Offers
Fetch Rewards often has bonus point offers for specific brands. Before you shop at Kroger, browse the Fetch app for current offers. If you see brands you plan to buy at Kroger, make sure to purchase them to earn extra points!
These offers can significantly boost your earnings.
Sub-heading: Shop with Your Kroger Loyalty Card
Always, always use your Kroger Shopper's Card or enter your associated phone number at checkout, whether in-store or online. This ensures your purchases are recorded and sent as eReceipts to your linked email, allowing Fetch to capture them.
Sub-heading: Don't Forget Paper Receipts (for other stores!)
While this guide focuses on Kroger and eReceipts, remember Fetch also accepts physical receipts from almost any store. Snap those too to maximize your earnings!
By following these steps, you'll seamlessly connect your Kroger purchases to Fetch Rewards and start accumulating points for free gift cards. Happy earning!
