Kroger 2x Points: How It Works and How to Save More on Gas (Formerly 2x Fuel Points)
Updated:Learn how Kroger 2x Points work (formerly called 2x Fuel Points), how to earn double points, and the best strategies to maximize savings at Kroger Fuel Centers and participating partner stations.
What Are Kroger Points
Kroger Points (renamed from Fuel Points on June 25, 2026) are rewards you earn when you shop with your Kroger loyalty account. Points convert into cents off per gallon at Kroger Fuel Centers and participating partner stations, or into dollars off groceries.
- Earn 1 point per $1 spent on groceries and eligible items.
- Earn 2 points per $1 spent on most gift cards.
- Every 100 points equals 10 cents off per gallon, up to $1.00 off/gallon.
- Every 100 points also equals $1 off groceries, up to a daily limit of 1,000 points ($10) per household.
What Does “2x Points” Mean
“2x Points” means you earn twice the usual points on eligible purchases. Instead of 1 point per dollar on groceries, you earn 2 points per dollar, which speeds up your path to a bigger discount at the pump or on your next grocery order.
Example: Spend $100 and earn 200 points under 2x, equal to 20 cents off per gallon, or $2 off groceries.
How to Earn 2x Points
- Kroger Boost Membership – Boost members receive automatic 2x points on qualifying purchases year round.
- Digital Coupons and Promotions – Load digital coupons in the Kroger app to enable 2x for a limited time.
- Seasonal Bonus Events – Major sale periods and holiday events often include double point promotions.
- Gift Card Bonus Events – Gift cards already earn 2 points per $1 by default; promotional events can multiply that further.
How to Redeem Points
Redeem points at the pump, or for groceries:
- At the pump: drive to a Kroger Fuel Center or participating partner station, enter your Kroger loyalty card number or phone number, select how many points to redeem, and the discount applies per gallon instantly.
- For groceries: redeem points in your digital account before checkout; the discount applies automatically to your next eligible purchase, in-store or online.

Smart Strategies to Maximize 2x Points
- Combine Boost membership with digital coupons and weekly ads for stacked multipliers.
- Buy gift cards to earn 2 points per $1 by default, and watch for multiplier events to stack further.
- Track points in the Kroger app to avoid expiration and to time redemptions for max savings.
- Fuel discounts cap at $1.00/gallon (1,000 points) and grocery discounts cap at $10/day (1,000 points) — once you’re near those caps, redeem rather than keep stacking.
