Kroger doubles fuel discounts on gift cards

CINCINNATI Kroger announced that it is doubling fuel discounts on gift cards purchased in its stores through the end of the year. Starting Nov. 1, gift cards for popular restaurants, stores and entertainment outlets purchased in Kroger stores will accumulate fuel discounts at double their purchased value, earning customers 10 cents off for every $50 in gift cards.

Most of the fuel discount programs offered by Kroger and its family of stores reward customers with a minimum of 10 cents off per gallon of gas for every $100 they spend in a store. Through these expanded holiday fuel discounts, customers can accumulate 10 cents off rewards faster through Dec. 31.

"We are offering our customers another way to help maximize their time, travel and savings this holiday season," said Don McGeorge, president and coo of Kroger. "Our expanded fuel discounts are designed to appeal to shoppers on any budget."
