The key to this trick lies in Kroger’s Fuel Points program. In this program, customers accumulate points for their purchases, including gift cards. These points can be redeemed for deep discounts on gasoline.
“Do I buy a lot of groceries at Kroger? No. Do I buy a lot of gift cards? Yes,” Gas Guy admits, revealing the heart of his strategy.
That is, the execution of the strategy would be as follows:
- Purchase Gift Cards: Purchase gift cards at Kroger to earn fuel points.
- Accumulation of points: Focuses on gift cards to earn as many points as possible.
- Use of points: Use points at a Kroger gas station to get discounts on gas.
- Price Check: Check the reduced price at the pump thanks to points.
- Filling up: Fill up your tank by taking advantage of the discounted price.
The TikTok community has reacted with amazement and admiration to this revelation. Comments range from disbelief to admiration and gratitude for the tip.
In fact, one user shared that he too got a great discount with the same trick. Getting gas at $0.04 a gallon thanks to his Kroger points.
