2 articles · Updated · The Takeout · May 26
The Takeout highlighted 12 grocery chains whose fuel rewards can ease rising pump costs, singling out programs that turn grocery spending into per-gallon discounts or cash back.
Discounts in the roundup generally range from $0.10 to $1 per gallon, with some chains tying savings to store points and others to memberships or branded credit cards.
Hy-Vee, Safeway, Kroger, Meijer and Giant Eagle were cited for grocery-linked rewards that can reach $1 off a gallon, often at their own stations or partners such as Shell, Chevron and Texaco.
Walmart+, Sam's Club, Costco, Target and BJ's lean more on membership or card perks, including Walmart's $0.10 off at more than 13,000 stations and gas cash-back rates of up to 5%.
The list reflects how supermarkets and warehouse clubs are using fuel perks to retain shoppers as gas prices and broader grocery inflation keep pressuring household budgets.
