Quick answer: Yes — Kroger sells over 100 gift cards in-store and online through giftcards.kroger.com, from retail and restaurant brands to prepaid Visa and Mastercard cards. Most cards are fee-free. The standout feature: Kroger runs an ongoing 4x Fuel Points bonus on most third-party and fixed-denomination Visa/Mastercard gift card purchases — one of the few real, recurring gift-card-specific rewards among major retailers.
Unlike some retailers that specifically exclude gift cards from earning loyalty rewards, Kroger goes the other direction — buying the right gift cards at Kroger is a well-known way to rack up Fuel Points fast. This guide covers what Kroger actually sells, the fees, and exactly how the Fuel Points bonus works (and which cards are excluded from it).
Denominations & Fees
The Kroger Stores Card is open-value and fee-free. Third-party retail and restaurant cards are fixed-denomination, typically $10 to $100, with no purchase fee. Prepaid Visa and Mastercard cards at Kroger commonly come in $25, $50, and $100 denominations and carry a standard activation fee, similar to every other major retailer's prepaid rack.
Gift Card Brands at Kroger
Kroger carries 100+ gift cards, available for in-store pickup and through giftcards.kroger.com. Categories include:
- Home Depot
- Lowe's
- Macy's
- Domino's
- Old Navy
- Outback Steakhouse
- GameStop
- Fanatics
- AutoZone
- BJ's Brewhouse
- Top Golf
- Dollar Shave Club
- H&M
This is a sample, not the full list — giftcards.kroger.com is the best place to check current availability for a specific brand, since selection rotates and varies somewhat by region (Kroger operates under different regional banner names).
4x Fuel Points on Gift Cards
This is Kroger's real differentiator versus every other store in this series: buying gift cards regularly earns 4x Fuel Points, applied to most third-party gift cards plus fixed-denomination $25, $50, and $100 Visa and Mastercard gift cards. Fuel Points reduce the price per gallon at Kroger fuel centers and partner stations, so a stack of gift cards bought for holiday or business gifting can translate into real savings at the pump.
Excluded from the 4x bonus: Amazon gift cards and fuel gift cards themselves don't qualify. Promotional terms can shift, so it's worth double-checking the current offer at giftcards.kroger.com or in the Kroger app before a large purchase if the Fuel Points are the whole point of the trip.
The Kroger Stores Card
One genuine convenience: the Kroger Stores Card works across Kroger's full family of regional banners — not just stores branded "Kroger," but sister chains like Ralphs, Fred Meyer, King Soopers, and others depending on your region. One card, redeemable at any of them, which most single-brand gift cards from other retailers can't offer.
Gift Cards Kroger Does NOT Sell
- Target and Walmart — direct grocery/general-merchandise competitors, not carried.
- Costco Shop Cards — membership-gated, sold only through Costco.

Policies & Tips
- Check giftcards.kroger.com before a special trip — it shows current online availability and any active Fuel Points promotions.
- Stick to $25/$50/$100 Visa or Mastercard denominations if the 4x Fuel Points bonus on prepaid cards is the goal — other amounts may not qualify.
- Amazon gift cards don't earn the Fuel Points bonus, even though Kroger sells them.
- No returns or exchanges once a gift card purchase is complete.

Final Thoughts
Kroger stands out in this series for one reason: it's one of the only major retailers where buying gift cards is an active, ongoing way to earn real rewards, not something excluded from them. If Fuel Points matter to you, stick to $25/$50/$100 Visa/Mastercard cards or eligible third-party brands and skip Amazon.
