Is there a way that you can show (and allow us to search for) which Shell stations accept Kroger fuel points. Ditto for other savings programs.

Thanks!

There used to be indications on station listings on this site for the local Fuel Perks program run by Winn-Dixie. You could always put it in the comments section when you input the prices.

Gotta agree with the other posters. While a good idea, there are too many local grocery stores having some type of program.
Here in the Syracuse, NY area, separate fuel point programs are sponsored by Price Chopper and Tops. There isn't a Krogers in the area and the closest place to get fuel from any of it's associated companies is at Turkey Hill about 105 miles to the south, near Scranton, PA and the closest Costco is 85 miles away in Kingston, Ontario.

Not only would there be a multitude of programs to track, the programs frequently are for limited periods of time, meaning that lists would have to be monitored continually.

Why not simply start a new topic, perhaps titled Shell Gas Stations Participating In The Kroger Fuel Points Program, and list all the participating stations, and ask, in the initial thread for people to review and update the list (adding or deleting) the stations as they learn of changes. This, in my opinion, isn't something Gas Buddy should be doing.

But you really think it's possible to maintain a list all the various gas perk programs with any accuracy?

This should probably be in he local forums since Kroger isn't a national chain.

it might make more sense to add a not in the stations details in the MSL?
that might require a fix from the mods, so good luck with that.
otherwise, you can enter a note in those station details. "station accepts kroger points...."

I am sure there is a way, but it would not be very practicable. Throughout the US and Canada there is a hodgepodge of different promotional programs. Each program with its own set of rules and conditions which I do not feel GasBuddy should be in the business of tracking.
