Little Man (4 years old---holy cow)
He's the single greatest thing I've done in my life and reminds me daily of how fun (and funny) life can be. He's turned out pretty swell for having such a heartless and evil mother.
So my brain just doesn't stop turning, ykwim?

I can't seem to find the answer anywhere on the Kroger website, but I thought I'd present this to you guys to ponder. Someone suggested since you can use Disney gift cards to make payments on your Disney World vacation, buy the GC at Kroger, get the double points on your Kroger card and get the gas discount.
Pondering Point #1)
This led to H and I having a hypothetical "what if" discussion. What would keep a person from buying visa gift cards at kroger, getting the gas points, turning around and buying another Visa gift card with the visa gift card at Kroger and getting the gas points on the second card, etc.
So you spend $100 at Kroger and get a $100 visa gift card (a). Then you come back a week later (or so) and use the $100 gift card (a) to buy another visa gift card (b) and get another $100 worth of gas points. The card (a) would run just like a visa credit card, so what's stopping you?
Pondering Point #2)
I wonder how many gas points you can accumulate on one account? For every 100 points, you get $0.10 off, so if you did this 10 times in a month, could you get $1.00/gallon off?

Honestly, balls. I didn't read it.

BUT. Yes. I do know what it's like when the brain just won't stop.

I'll likely be buying the Disney gift cards there, because I "need" those anyways, but I don't have the energy to do the visa card thing. It was more of a "hmm, I wonder" things. My brain always seems to have some weird thing pondering at any given time. When I was younger, I'd ponder "If every toilet in the country flushed at exactly the same time (and I do mean, EVERY toilet) what would flood and what would empty?"

Thank you ma'am, can I have another?

At our grocery store you can't stack $0.10 off gas in one visit. As in you can get gas 6 times for $0.10 off each gallon each visit but not one time for $0.60 off per gallon. Though I think the visa card buying another visa card would fly.
By brain spins all the time. It makes me dizzy sometimes.

I thought about this, but doesn't a visa gift card run just like a visa?

::slaps balls's ass again:: Just the way you like it.

Yeah but I'd read the fine print on the back of it just to be sure.
Like I said, I'm not going to do it, it was just more of a curiousity.

No, I know, I'm just saying, its interesting.
I work for Dillons, which is a division of Kroger. Now I'm curious about point 1, because I've never seen anyone try it. But here, gift cards count as double fuel points (and sometimes triple or quadruple), so we end up selling a ton of them--people buy them just for the double points.
For point 2? I don't know what other divisions are doing, but we can stack fuel points within a month to get up to a dollar off--and up to $1.50 off per gallon if you have their credit card.
