Heads up, Kroger shoppers! The popular 4x fuel points promotion is back, running from November 12th through December 2nd. This means you can earn four times the usual fuel points on select gift card purchases at Kroger and its affiliated stores like Harris Teeter. This time around, the deal includes fixed-value Visa and Mastercard gift cards (the ones that come in specific denominations like $25, $50, or $100) AND third-party gift cards (excluding Amazon this time). There's also an Amazon coupon this time.

Why should you care? Well, these fuel points can translate into serious savings at the pump! For every 100 fuel points, you typically save 10 cents per gallon, up to a certain limit (often 35 gallons). So, with 4x points, you're essentially getting a 40-cent discount per gallon for every $100 spent on qualifying gift cards. That's a potential 14% discount on gas if you max out your fill-up. Plus, some Kroger stores now let you redeem those fuel points for grocery discounts too, adding even more value!

To maximize this deal, remember to load the digital coupons to your Kroger account. Also, use a credit card that earns bonus rewards at grocery stores to stack your savings! Keep in mind that variable-load Visa/MC gift cards (the kind where you choose the amount) are excluded from this promotion. With a little planning, you can easily rack up those fuel points and save a bundle on your next road trip or weekly commute. Don't forget to check for a Chase offer for 10% back as well!
