Fry's Fuel Points -- Save Quite A Bit With Little Effort

At special times during the year Fry's Food Stores (just one of the Kroger Inc Family) has a promo during which you can earn 4x the fuel points, instead of the usual 2x fuel points, by buying Gift Cards from their Gift Card Mall, which is what they call the display of their gift cards. Personally we buy gift cards to use like cash at the places that we normally shop. For instance, I do a great deal of our household shopping on Amazon, so instead of using my credit card, I use the gift cards. We also have breakfast from McDonald's most mornings (love their oatmeal!) so we do the same thing with McDonald's gift cards. You get the idea. You can go to Fry's Food Store's website to see the very large selection that might be available at your local store.

As a BzzAgent, I received additional fuel points for free in order to encourage me to try out the 4x promotion on Gift Cards. Now that the promo is over the point system is still mostly the same except that gift cards go back to 2 fuel points per $1 you spend, while you continue to receive 1 fuel point per $1 you spend for groceries and prescriptions, You do need to make sure to use your VIP loyalty card at the check-out in order to receive your fuel points. Once a week, you can also do the survey printed on your Fry's Food Stores receipt which earns you an additional 50 fuel points.

You can check your points on your receipt each week, both the accrued and points earned from that particular purchase. We check our points and then buy the amount in gift cards from the Gift Card Mall in order to make up the difference for the amount of fuel points we want to use at fill-up. For each increment of 100 fuel points redeemed a savings of 10¢ per gallon will be awarded You can use up to 1000 points each time you fill-up with gas which will save save $1 per gallon, with a limit of 35 gallons. We fill up with gas about every fourteen days and use 1000 points each time which in our case saves us about $20 each time.

The process of using fuel points at the pump is quite simple, but you do need to go to one of the authorized gas stations and either scan your VIP card, or enter your phone number. As you can see the whole process is incredibly simple, saving quite a bit with very little effort doing mostly what you normally do – grocery shopping, getting your medicine, buying gift cards to use as cash and purchasing your gas. We don't drive much and yet we still save about $40 a month!
