What Is a Kroger Gift Card?
A Kroger gift card is a plastic card that you can use to shop at all retailers that belong to the Kroger Family of Companies, such as:
- Dillons
- Food 4 Less
- Fred Meyer
- JayC
- Mariano’s
The gift card works like cash, so it’s important to keep it in a safe place. When you shop at any Kroger location, instead of handing over money, present your gift card to pay for your purchase.
The card has no expiration date, so you don’t have a time limit to use it. In case you lose or damage your card, you will not be able to get a refund or a replacement card, even if you provide proof of purchase.
How To Check the Balance on Your Kroger Gift Card
You have three options to check the balance available on your Kroger gift card:
- With your receipt
- Over the phone
- On the website
With Your Receipt
If you’re making a purchase at Kroger using your gift card or have recently made one, check the receipt. The balance will be printed at the bottom of the sales receipt.
In case you haven’t made a purchase, you can visit the nearest Kroger location. Present your gift card to the cashier and ask them to check the remaining balance for you.
Over the Phone
Here’s what you need to do to check your gift card’s balance over the phone:
- Dial 1-866-822-6252
- Press the required extension number to speak to a customer support agent
- Provide your name, gift card number, and PIN
- Ask them to check the balance on your card
On the Kroger Website
To check the remaining balance on your Kroger gift card on the website, follow these instructions:
- Go to the Check Balance section of Kroger’s website
- Enter the required details, such as your gift card number and PIN
- Click on Submit
