This article will teach you how to check your Kroger gift card balance like a pro and turn any leftover balance into cash! DoNotPay can also provide practical advice on:

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:

  1. With your receipt
  2. Over the phone
  3. 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.

  1. Dial 1-866-822-6252
  2. Press the required extension number to speak to a customer support agent

  2. Enter the required details, such as your gift card number and PIN
  3. Click on Submit
