Kroger gift cards are no longer available. Bummer! 

I would be very appreciative if you can bring it back. Thank you.

        @BenjaminM550041  I can clear that up! They have only been temporarily removed, and will return to the catalog by the end of August. In the meantime, there are other grocery gift cards such as Safeway, Albertsons, Instacart, and more. Thanks for being a part of AARP Rewards!  Jodee R.

          That's good to hear! I buy them often also.

            If the merger goes through with Vons/Albertsons being bought out by Kroger everything will change. There is a list of stores possibly closing in the US (Vons/Albertson). This is Kroger's second try to buy them out. So there might be some major changes coming. I hope this does not happen.

                Indeed, Kroger GC is the main reason I applied for membership, please bring it back!

                  Yes, I was so sad when I tried to buy them the other day! I have faithfully been using those for over 2 years now. Super sad to see I can't purchase them anymore 😞

                    @CarolJ240968  Hi there, I can clear that up. The Kroger gift cards have temporarily been removed from the AARP Rewards catalog. We are expecting them to return later this month. Thanks for being a loyal Rewards user!  Jodee R.

                      Well it’s “later this month” and I don’t see Kroger/Marianos gift cards anywhere. 😞

                        I was disappointed when they removed the Giant Eagle Gift Cards and now they have taken away the Kroger gift card cards..... a real bummer!!

                           I was really hoping the Kroger gift cards would be available soon. I have been checking daily. None of the other grocery stores that have gift cards available are in my area.

                          I check daily also... they said they thought they would be back by the end of the month but it doesn't look like it..I wish they would at least keep us up to date on what's happening

                            Now we're into September and they still haven't been restocked. I wish we knew when they were coming back.

                               I agree, AARP has been less than forthcoming with this information. They know a lot of people rely on them so it would be nice if they kept us up-to-date. The same thing happened with the Giant Eagle gift cards and it's now been months with nothing coming back.

                                I noticed today that Kroger cards are finally back in stock. Although unfortunately the largest denomination available is $50.

                                  Thank you for taking the time to share, @StevenC45084. The $25 and $50 denominations are available. Keep an eye on our catalog, as we're continuously updating it. - Diana G.

                                      On a positive note: thank you for bringing back the Kroger cards.

                                       

                                      On a negative note: I bought 5 of them today and What The Living Fudge?! You took a simple process and made it SOOOOO much more complicated. Here's the old process: click on the "Get Your Reward" link in the email, get a webpage with the info/barcode, print the page. Here's the new process: click on the "Get Your Reward" link in the email, get a webpage that says "Click here to view your eGift Card" with a "secret code", copy the secret code to the clipboard, click on the link, get a new webpage, paste in the "secret code", get a new webpage with the info/barcode (plus extra crap on the lefthand side), click on the print link, get a popup that doesn't make clear that there are now TWO PAGES ready to print (the second page being worthless stuff so now you need to know to remember to set your printer to only print the first page), then print. Rinse & repeat FOR EVERY GIFT CARD.

                                       

                                      Nice. Thank you for such an improved experience.
