The story so far
Kroger has updated its rewards program to allow customers to use fuel points for grocery discounts. The points system, which previously applied only to fuel, now enables members to redeem rewards for in-store savings.
Coverage from outlets including Grocery Dive, AOL, and the Cincinnati Enquirer emphasizes the expansion of the program. Reports from NBC 5 Chicago note that the change also affects Mariano's, a company owned by Kroger.
Future developments involve the implementation of these new redemption methods as members transition to using points for both gas and groceries.
