      The Kroger Company continues to mail me promotional material. I have NEVER shopped at Kroger's. I am NOT interested in their junk mail. I called their headquarters several weeks ago and requested that my name and address be removed from their junk mailing list. However, I continue to receive their mailings.

      I placed an online order on 9/22 for 107.20, but they charged the account twice. When I called they said one is a prior authorization and one is for the total. So basically they charged 214.40 for an order 107.20. They said the prior authorization falls of in 3-5 business days. So now my account is in the negative and I can’t buy anything for 3-5 business days.

      Date: 09/25/2025

      Thank you for contacting the Kroger Executive Office. We have received your concern submitted through the BBB. We appreciate your time and effort in giving us the opportunity to address this matter with their assistance.

      We appreciate you for reaching out and bringing this to our attention. We understand how concerning it can be to see multiple charges on your account, and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this has caused.

      Upon review, it appears that one of the charges you’re seeing is a pre-authorization, which is a temporary hold placed by your bank to verify available funds before the transaction is finalized. This is a standard practice for online orders and does not result in an actual withdrawal. The final charge is the one that reflects the true cost of your order.

      Pre-authorizations typically fall off within 3–5 business days, depending on your bank’s processing time. While the funds may appear unavailable during this period, they are not collected by us and will be released automatically.

      We understand the impact this may have had on your account balance and truly appreciate your patience as the authorization clears. If both charges remain after the 5-day window, we recommend reaching out to your bank for further assistance. 

      Your comments have provided us the opportunity to evaluate, address and correct this matter. We welcome your feedback because our customers are essential to our business.

      Thank you again for your understanding and for choosing us. We’re here to help and committed to ensuring your experience improves moving forward.

      Subject: Formal Complaint Against The Kroger Co. - Unable to Use My Phone Number Due to Account Linking Issue

      Dear Better Business Bureau,

      I am filing this complaint against The Kroger Co. regarding their failure to resolve a significant account management issue that is preventing me from accessing their services.

      **Issue Description:**
      My personal phone number is currently linked to someone else's Kroger account, and despite multiple attempts to resolve this matter, Kroger has been unwilling or unable to remove my phone number from the other person's account. This prevents me from creating or linking my own Kroger account to my legitimate phone number.

      **Impact:**
      - I cannot access Kroger's digital coupons and savings programs
      - I am unable to use their mobile app features
      - I cannot receive important account notifications
      - I am being denied equal access to customer benefits available to other shoppers

      **Steps Taken:**
      I have contacted Kroger customer service multiple times to request that my phone number be removed from the incorrect account, but they have not provided a satisfactory resolution to this problem.

      **Requested Resolution:**
      I am requesting that Kroger immediately remove my phone number from any account that is not mine and allow me to properly link my phone number to my own account. This should be a straightforward customer service issue that can be resolved with proper verification procedures.

      This situation represents poor customer service and creates unnecessary barriers for customers trying to use Kroger's services. I believe this matter warrants BBB intervention to ensure a fair resolution.

      Thank you

      Sincerely,
      ***** ******

      Kroger offers fuel points. They offer coupons for 4 times fuel points on specific dates of shopping. This coupon rarely works even when it is properly loaded to my account.
      This is bait and switch as I specifically shop at their store on those specific dates.

      I have attempted to have this rectified with the Kroger service center. They have been unable to provide satisfaction as I have been on a call with them for 1 hour and they have had me on hold for a the greater portion of that time.

      I have asked Kroger for the missing fuel points totaling 1,900.

      Business Response

      Date: 09/23/2025

      Thank you for contacting the Kroger Executive Office. I am in receipt of the customer’s concern that they sent through the BBB.  We appreciate the opportunity to address the customer’s concern with the assistance of the BBB. We hope that we can assist the customer in any possible way.

      I sincerely apologize that customers did not receive the 4x fuel points for Friday shopping. I reviewed the customer's account and found the following:

      On August 15, 2025, the customer spent $46.70 and $9.80, earning 208 and 40 fuel points respectively.

      On August 22 and August 29, the customer did not earn any fuel points.

      On September 19, the customer spent $192.24 but only earned 198 fuel points.

      The customer contacted us on September 19, and we added 1313 fuel points to their account. Please inform the customer that I will be adding an extra 1000 fuel points to cover the other missing points and to compensate for the inconvenience. Let them know that if they encounter any further issues with their next purchase, they can reach out to our Kroger Customer Service at ###-###-####, and we’ll assist in reporting the problem to our technical team.

      We appreciate the opportunity to address the customer’s concern with the assistance of the BBB and we look forward to serving you better in the future.

      Online order placed, ********* contracted service delivery provider with Kroger charged $115 of items to my order (credit card) and kept them. Kroger refuses to refund fraudulent items total back to my credit card, issuing only a partial refund of $54 claiming they will not issue anything additional and they have the right in there terms and policies to adjust pricing. They do not care if it was theft through a service provider they contracted with. Now they refuse to allow me to use my paid Boost membership for placing orders online for Kroger only deliveries or pick up orders. All I want is all my money back that was stolen from me and for me to be able to use my boost $99 membership that I paid for. Kroger claims I’m outside refund window and all items were refunded at the decreased amount they will not help and told me to make contact with my credit card company as they will not be able to do anything.

      I was told I would receive a refund of my boost membership regarding circumstances with a delivery order when I checked on the refund several weeks later, allowing for refund to appear I was then told that there is no history of convo with supervisor even though I wrote down supervisor’s name, time of call and date. I was NOT given a case number that is why I wrote down the supervisor’s name, date and time of call. For reference. Kroger told me they could not issue a refund of my boost because it was beyond the seven day window. I understood that because of the circumstances surrounding this delivery and because they were a supervisor they would be issuing a refund of boost membership.

      Today on 9/18/25 I was refused service by Kroger while trying to purchase milk with my 1 yr old son. I had cashed my coins in with a desire to purchase a gallon of milk so my son could have his morning bottle. When I went to purchase milk with my cash voucher for the $55.55 they informed me I cannot do so and needed to cash my change voucher in as guest services. Went I went to cash my voucher there they told me it was closed I asked to speak to a manager to explain my scenario Mitch the assistant was extremely disrespectful and told I could not cash my check at which point I started recording him and things only got worse. He told me to go to the other location after making threats like “do you wanna shop here again” again all on video. I went to the other location to cash my voucher about an hour later. Kathy made a call to the other location to confirm the voucher they talked about Mitch bringing her the money that has no application to me I’m using a large companies service. After the call the told me she could cash the check but tried to lecture me with accusations of being rude to the other store I told her I just wanted to cash my voucher she then told she wasn’t going to cash my voucher and left the stand after I asked for a manger. After about 10 minutes of her walking around the guest service stand she returned to cash my check. I have this whole interaction on video as well. Extremely unprofessional and uncomfortable situation for my 1 yr old child and myself I’m truly disgusted by your company.

      I contacted the Kroger on ***** over the phone like the  instructions you provided. I called to follow up in regards to the complaint and see what is being done. That’s when I was encountered by Jim who spoke to me like a child when I asked spoke on his treatment to me he threatened to end the call and then did. The call was followed up by a call from Kokomo police department who  sadly because the understood the scenario informed me Kroger had called to trespass me and I’m not welcome to Kroger locations. Is this your company’s operation? To attack and steal from customers (with their 1 yr old) then to use police as personal body guards to avoid accountability? I’m going to be contacting local news stations with my story as well as reaching out to my lawyer on Monday.

        I did contact the store, they told me to bring 284 worth of groceries not in bags destroyed in the driveway back to there store. With four children and that many groceries I am unable to do that. As a FAMILY servicing store that I spend over $400 a month at it would have been appropriate to let me just receive the items replace at there store, not a refund I’m asking for not money just the frozen cold items to feed my four children since loosing my husband suddenly. A billion dollar company and they are arguing over 170$

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint.  For your reference, reasons for rejection are included below.


      I have sent the requested  receipt and item list three times starting sept 11, see attached. I did that prior to contact the BBB. You know this from multiple emails I’ve sent copies of.

      After carefully reviewing the submitted list of the items that were damaged from the pickup order, it has been observed that due to the quantity of items, the amount of the total of the items needed for refund, and the fact that this is a pickup order, this may need to be handled by the store.

      We have a specific process for pickup orders and since the approval will be coming from the store as well. We are really sorry for any hassle this has caused the customer, but refund will be approved by the store, and the customer may need to communicate with them.

      We sincerely apologize for the disappointment and inconvenience this situation has caused. Please rest assured that we are implementing best practices to ensure all programs function correctly for our customers. We value the customer's business and are committed to making their future experiences with us positive.

      I have communicated with the store and there is no resolution. You no food lion offers a gaurenteed on there products. Kroger is making bad decision regarding 170 of store products. The store hung up on me, and when I called back multiple times they told me to bring my entire order back. This has been weeks and I can't bring back 284 of groceries back with four children. I'll choose to longer shop at Kroger and extend my experience to people I know and the community.

      We are really sorry for any inconvenience. We understand how this affects the customer. However, as explained, this should be handled by the store. We just have a different process for pickup orders. Please accept our honest apologies for any inconvenience this has led to as we continue to carry out certain policies to be fair with all our customers. We value all the shared feedback that we know that can help us improve in so many ways.

      This is not a reasonable fix send it to the department that can fix it. It's your job as a company to handle customer relations in general and this is being pushed from person to person on the blame or who shod handle it.
