Heading on the road this Thanksgiving? Kroger is back today with 4x (normally 2x) fuel points on gift card purchases just in time for holiday road trips. I headed out to Kroger today to get a gift card and some discounted gas. Here is how it worked out for me and how you can do the same.

Save Up To $1/Gallon Of Gas At Kroger Just In Time For Holiday Road Trip

I purchased a $250 Target gift card so that I could use it to buy some holiday gifts and groceries (money I would spend anyways.) This purchase earned me 1,000 points which scored me $1 off each gallon of gas that I purchased. I used my Amex EveryDay® Preferred Credit Card from American Express which offers 3x points at U.S. supermarkets on up to $6,000 per year in purchases. See Flexible Card offer page for full details on these and other offers. If you have The Amex EveryDay® Credit Card from American Express you could also use it because it offers 2x points at U.S. supermarkets, on up to $6,000 per year in purchases.

There are tons of gift cards to choose from:

My gas purchase, with $1 off per gallon, I only paid $1.06/gallon for Unleaded! I used 1,000 points to score $1 off per gallon!
