Grocery store gift cards are not available anymore

Gift cards for Kroger, Albertson etc. are not available anymore. I hope it is just temporary. 

Kroger gift cards went away in August 2024, and they brought it back a couple months later. 

Being able to get grocery at 8% off is quite meaningful in today's high prices. Please reply if you also would like to see grocery gift cards again.

            Could you please elaborate as to WHY they were removed from the catalog?

               It has helped me financially to buy Albertsons gift cards at an 8% discount--please bring them back for purchase on a regular basis.

                      Ive called AARP about that b4. I was told, AARP isn't in control of their discounts section, the vendors are.

                       

                      Of course, I laughed. Or is this following statement true; AARP can't influence vendors to support their members, but , can influence Congress?" Hmm?

                       

                      Which is easier? Hmm?

                         How do we know if they will come back and when? How would we ask AARP?

                          I agree.  Please bring back the grocery gift cards.  I would buy a couple of these a month, and the 8% savings made a huge difference.

                             I bought both Kroger and Safeway cards every month to stretch my food budget. Please bring them backl.

                              I am also very sad to not see grocery gift cards available any more. They are the most important AARP feature to me. I'm going to have to let my membership expire if they don't bring them back.

                                I am also disappointed that they are not offering Albertsons gift cards. My wife’s membership expired at the end of March and We did not renew her membership. I still have mine but will not renew  until the Albertsons gift cards return.

                                  dumb question of the day and please feel free to not answer if it involves something personal - but only one person needs to have a membership and the spouse can be added for free if living at the same address ..... am I missing something ???  Spouse gets all of the same benefits but own membership card and signs up for unique AARP account ....

                                    Hi @RcD316530, let me clear that up. You can add a second adult member living at your address for free. They're also able to receive their own membership card, which we will automatically send after you add them to your account. You can learn more here: https://aarp.info/3ijdq8m. If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to reach out. - Daniela R.
