Kroger Gift Cards                                                                  Updated on 10/25/2011

We extend continued thanks to all who are using their Kroger rechargeable gift cards. Our last two monthly checks averaged  $530.   Good, but we can do better! 

Want an easy way to learn more about the Kroger card?  Attend the brief workshop on after worship on Sun., Nov. 6.  First 5 participants will get $5 Kroger Gift card!

Want to check to see how much you have loaded on your UUCL Kroger gift card, and hence how much you have helped UUCL through your purchases?  Visit our Kroger Gift Card Tool. 

We are not asking anyone to shop at Kroger if they currently don't buy stuff there at all. If you do at least some shopping or gas buying at Kroger, please consider the UUCL Kroger Gift Card.

A UUCL Kroger Gift Card
Easy to use and costs you nothing to use. 
UUCL earns 4% of every dollar you spend.
Reloadable at customer service and checkout lanes.
Available at the
Holley Bookstore.
Can be used to buy groceries, gas, & almost anything else that Kroger sells. (See below.)

Here is how this easy program works.

Purchase the Kroger Card at the Holley Bookstore for $5. You now have $5 to spend at Kroger.

On your next trip to Kroger, go to Customer Service and have your card loaded in their system for up to $500.  You can pay for your "loading" by cash, check, credit card or debit card.  At the time you have money loaded onto your card, Kroger credits UUCL with 4% of the amount. (For instance if you have $100 loaded on the card, you have the full $100 to spend at Kroger and Kroger will pay $4 to UUCL.)  

It takes a few minutes for Kroger to complete the transaction. Do your shopping and at the check-out, swipe the card as you would with a credit or debit card. Your receipt will show the balance remaining.

As an alternative, you can have the card loaded at a traditional register, before you check out, with no wait before you can use the funds. Your must ask the cashier to do this before he or she checks your groceries.  You cannot load the card yourself at the self service check outs or the gas pump.  However, you may be able to get the attendant in these areas to load your card for you before you check out or pay for your gas. 

You can have the card reloaded as often as you desire. 

Things to remember. 

Write down the number of your card and put that number in a safe place.  If your card is lost or stolen you may be able to recover most or all of the money you have loaded on it if you have the number. 

The card will not "expire" from nonuse unless you run the balance down to $0.  If you aren't going to use the card for a while, just make sure that there is some money on it. 

Whenever you make a purchase with your card, your receipt will show the balance remaining.  When it gets low, have it reloaded. 

Things you can buy with your Kroger Gift card, (and have UUCL get its 4%):

 Kroger gas

 Groceries and household items, (of course)

 Beer, wine, and hard liquor

 Gift cards for other merchants.  Here is a list of some that are available at most Kroger stores.
