Quick Thoughts

The only denomination that makes sense here for most people is the $100 cards. Those have a $5.95 activation fee, as well as a $.50 shipping fee, so you’ll pay a net cost of ~$101.45 after 5% off on the hundred dollar card. Since these will not code as grocery, you’re probably expecting a best case scenario of 2% to 2.5% or so cash back, which means you’ll only come out a dollar or two ahead.

However, given that Kroger is offering 4x fuel points on the Mastercard Fancards, you could stand to come out much better if you’ll be fueling up also. Just one $100 card would earn you 400 fuel points, which is good for $0.40 off per gallon of gas. If you’re able to fuel up with even 15 gallons, that’s a savings of $6.00, which would make the $100 cards rewarding enough to be worthwhile.
