Grocery store gift cards are not available anymore

WinnieM910002 — Mon, 03 Mar 2025 03:31:01 GMT

Gift cards for Kroger, Albertson etc. are not available anymore. I hope it is just temporary.

Kroger gift cards went away in August 2024, and they brought it back a couple months later.

Being able to get grocery at 8% off is quite meaningful in today's high prices. Please reply if you also would like to see grocery gift cards again.

It has helped me financially to buy Albertsons gift cards at an 8% discount--please bring them back for purchase on a regular basis.

I've counted on the discounted Kroger & Albertson's gift cards for many years, and the savings, combined with buying less, has kept me in the black (barely). Without these gift cards available, I will have to rely on food banks, and will have to spend even less.

Could you please elaborate as to WHY they were removed from the catalog?

Re: Grocery store gift cards are not available anymore

madelitx — Mon, 17 Mar 2025 16:23:46 GMT

Please bring them back. Who decided to remove them?

How do we know if they will come back and when? How would we ask AARP?

Ive called AARP about that b4. I was told, AARP isn't in control of their discounts section, the vendors are.

Of course, I laughed. Or is this following statement true; AARP can't influence vendors to support their members, but , can influence Congress?" Hmm?

Which is easier? Hmm?

I agree. Please bring back the grocery gift cards. I would buy a couple of these a month, and the 8% savings made a huge difference.

I bought both Kroger and Safeway cards every month to stretch my food budget. Please bring them backl.

I am also very sad to not see grocery gift cards available any more. They are the most important AARP feature to me. I'm going to have to let my membership expire if they don't bring them back.

I am also disappointed that they are not offering Albertsons gift cards. My wife’s membership expired at the end of March and We did not renew her membership. I still have mine but will not renew until the Albertsons gift cards return.

I am SOOOOO disappointed in losing the Albertsons/Safeway gift cards. I recently renewed my membership because of these. I also do the AARP rewards videos/quizzes daily. I have found that there are so any broken links and videos that you watch (including those miserable ads); not working for months and then

do not receive credit for. I've called several times giving the names of the broken.non-working titles. They've given me credit for them however not fixed all of them. How long should that take. The ads always seem to work 😞

Between these 2 headaches, I'm truly reconsidering requesting a refund. Engagement shouldn't be this difficult.

I am extremely disappointed to see this perk missing. We shopped at Albertsons just because of this. Please bring this back. This is by far one of the reasons I remain a member. If it's gone, I will not renew.
