Kroger has released a new digital coupon today which offers a $3 instant discount on a Visa or Mastercard gift card.
The Deal

Key Terms
- Expires September 1, 2020.
- Valid on in-store purchases only.
- Limit one coupon per customer.
Quick Thoughts
The digital coupons Kroger releases every other week or so for 4x fuel points on Visa and Mastercard gift cards are only valid on fixed-value cards (i.e. $25, $50 and $100). There’s no exclusion for variable load gift cards with this particular digital coupon though, so it should take off $3 when buying a Visa or Mastercard gift card of up to $500.
That’s certainly been the case with similar digital coupons in the last few months, so this is a great way to reduce the activation fee on variable load cards to only $2.95, helping reduce the cost of racking up some additional grocery store spend on a card that earns a bonus in that category.
Update: Hunter T has confirmed in the comments below that this does indeed work on variable load Visa and Mastercard gift cards.

question – when the Publix coupon is $10 off if $50 of groceries and you have several of the cards coupons loaded – can you apply coupons to cards in same purchase IF your total grocery purchase totals more than $50 per card? OR do you have to divide your grocery purchases to equal about 1 card per $50 worth of groceries?
Based on other people’s data points, you only have to buy $50 of groceries the once if you also buy the gift cards in the same transaction. You should therefore be able to buy $50 of groceries and $50 Visa and Mastercard gift cards, as well as Kohl’s and Happy gift cards if you wanted.
You can use it on variable cards. I did it this morning.
Thanks for confirming – I’ll update the post.
