Looking for even more ways to make your Kroger shopping experience more rewarding? The Fresh Mode app gives you that – it’s a new and exclusive (invite only) way to earn points and redeem them for Fresh Rewards, like FREE delivery and money off your favorite items. Simply download the app, create an account and link your Plus Card to access these exclusive benefits.
How Does it Work?
1. Shop online or in-store, and earn points that can be redeemed for Fresh Rewards.
2. Earn 1 point for every dollar spent on groceries and general merchandise when you shop Kroger.
3. Complete quizzes and polls, and participate in bonus point shopping events to earn more Fresh Rewards, faster.
4. Enable push notifications in the Fresh Mode app to learn about ways to earn even more bonus points.
5. Visit the Fresh Mode Rewards Center to redeem your points for Fresh Rewards, like Free Delivery, money off your groceries and more!
Please note: The Fresh Mode app is separate from your Kroger.com account and app (that means you can SAVE more when you use both apps).
Kroger Fresh Mode Positive Reviews
Great concept not enough rewards to purchaseI love the additional savings/products I can earn with my points. I find it very disappointing that there aren’t enough offers to spend your previous months points. I purchased every offer except the $20. Off of groceries and lost 895 points because I didn’t have enough to purchase that last offer! I can see it will take skillful planning to use as many points as possible and I will still leave points on the table even then!
I will still use this app and hopefully use, not lose more points! Maybe previous points should be awarded new offers at month end?!? Or at least allow purchases of new months offers with previous months points!.Big cw fanVersion: 1.9
Good enoughI’ve used this app for quite a while now and I do love building up my points throughout the month and trading them in for as many discounts as possible, for my first grocery order of the following month.
There are two improvements I wish could happen though:
1. Life is so busy and I don’t always remember to look for the new bonus opportunities and opt in. Often, I open the app and then realize I didn’t opt in for a grocery order I just got. I wish it could automatically opt you in.
2. The prior months bonus points don’t rollover to the current month. Even if you trade in your prior months points for discounts and end up with 99 points left, you can’t use them at all because the minimum trade-in amount is 100 points, and those 99 points don’t carryover to the current month so that you can combine them. It’s really aggravating because I spent the money to earn those points and/or I opted in to bonuses to earn those points, and I should be able to use them..ZooooooolanderVersion: 1.9
Doesn’t work half the timeThe last 3 times I filled out a bonus survey, I got no points. It also doesn’t always give points for other bonuses such as giving 3x points for buying kroger brand items. Then all of a sudden a few weeks later I may get a manual points adjustment after they figured it out. I really did like the app though. Last month I got about $15 off my purchases because of it. Now that they are offering some decent bonuses this month (Dec), I got a message stating that Fresh Mode was no longer going to be valid in my area after Dec 21 and my fresh mode account will be deleted. That stinks.Shortlived fresh modeVersion: 1.6
Decent appI had it for a year now, it’s a really great app if you learn how to properly use it. When you first start they give you points for completing surveys, but the more you shop the more points you earn and you’ll be able to purchase the rewards. The only problem I have is when I’m in the store it won’t open up so I normally try to clip my rewards before I head to the store.ShaunamamaVersion: 1.6
Great when it worksI’ve had this app for a couple months, and when it’s working, it’s great. Haven’t been able to open the app for several days, and there’s no way to contact support. There were bonus missions that I completed, but didn’t get the points associated. Very frustrating.
UPDATE 11-6
So is this app ever gonna get fixed? Still unable to open the app, haven’t been able to for the entire month of October, and it looks like November isn’t going to be any better. Please fix it already!.Tricia1973Version: 1.6
FantasticI’m shocked people are complaining about this app. It saves me lots of money. Yes you need to be organized & use your coupon rewards but they give you plenty of time to redeem.
This app is used in addition to the Kroger app where you can already save lots with digital coupons.
Can’t rave enough about this Fresh Mode program & I hope it continues..LuvKrogerVersion: 1.6
Love this appI absolutely LOVE the fresh mode app! I’ve saved a lot of money using it. My only complaint is I don’t know how to invite ppl. There isn’t a share button or invite button. Also I’m just learning from a friend that this is may only for iPhone users only? Correct me if I’m wrong please..Deb_76Version: 1.7
App is okayStill wish this was part of the Kroger app where I online shop and clip digital coupons.
I like the ability to earn rewards but I think when there are no rewards remaining that match level of my points from prior month, that I should be able to combine and use points with rewards available for current month..LM622Version: 1.7
Works occasionallySometimes app does not load and keep trying. However if app open and loaded successfully then it works as expected. I am able to collect bonus and points then able to redeem them and save some money. If occasional app loading problem is resolved then it deserves 5 stars..Lale.Version: 1.8
Good idea, but needs some workI really like this idea of being able to get rewarded for shopping at Kroger. The bonuses aren’t bad either. What I don’t like is how many points go to waste. They should carry over to the next month. The points should expire after a longer period of time. Overall, I’m glad to have the app though.ILoveFree!Version: 1.5
Love this app but….It won’t open at all anymore. There is no update needed or app and I am up to date with the current iOS software update. Randomly all the sudden won’t open. I love this app when it works though. Such a great added perk when grocery shopping anyway!.Kast555Version: 1.8
Unable to rollover pointsI like this app a lot. I actively complete any bonuses and surveys applicable to me at the time and am able to save so much from my purchases. But the one thing I’d like to see would be the ability to roll over points from month to month..FlockmollyVersion: 1.7
Where’s the Update?Why did Kroger stop printing out these invite coupons??? After it was first announce/release for invites only people I was excited to try it out once I got the invitation… but after few weeks passed nobody at the store know what fresh mode is like it just vanished out of the existence.GalaxiumVoidVersion: 1.6
Mostly good so far…The only issue is I’ve had is that I haven’t received the 300 points promised for joining community rewards last month.
Other things I’d like to see in this app:
1) points rollover month to month
2)a way to contact customer service in the app vs a phone number..PurrmontVersion: 1.6
So far so goodI’m really enjoying this app so hopefully they keep it around. You can earn rewards for completing bonuses and they even give “free rewards” occasionally! Thanks Kroger 😄.Suzy mcruzyVersion: 1.5
So far, so goodDownloaded it from the qr invite I got at the checkout. So far, I was able to register and it seems to be working fine..MemphisbulldogbelleVersion: 1.3
Love the extra savings BUT app doesn’t work wellI recurrently have trouble getting this app to open on my iPhone. I don’t have that problem with any other app.
When it does work I love it, but probly 1/3 of the time it won’t open..T TotalerVersion: 1.8
The app won’t workAll the app does is spin!!! I really liked it but I can’t open it.l I have updated it and it’s still hasn’t helped. i’ve called their 800 number 3’S about this and it’s still not fixed.😡😡.LandSlideLilyVersion: 1.8

Kroger Fresh Mode Negative Reviews
Good but doesn’t always workAgree with others, this is a great idea. But there are major problems: like you qualify for the $1.50 reward for Kroger brands but you can’t ever purchase it. Whaaaaaat? You get an error message that says please try again. I’ve made 25 attempts over several weeks and no dice. Also there doesn’t seem to be a way to combine the remaining points from last month and some points from this month to purchase a reward. So the leftover points from last month will just expire. Plus you don’t get a lot of time to use the points you accumulate. Finally, there used to be a 200 point purchase option but it has disappeared from the reward menu. The app is almost too annoying to use, great idea that is starting to feel like a negative. Fix it already, Kroger!.Kgmoma2Version: 1.6
App Mysteriously Stops Working After You Start Gaining More PointsI loved this app, but then I noticed when my Mother was accumulating a ton of points, her app stopped working. I called customer service and they said some tech was going to call and help. Now that I’m starting to earn more points, mine won’t work. Guessing it’s only to get people to start spending more money, then the more you spend and points gained you no longer have access to redeem points gained for coupons..JNB122417Version: 1.7
Nice concept, little developmentThe concept is great! I love Kroger and would love more ways to earn coupons. But I find it is not very developed, features will appear to work but when you have completed the bonus you aren’t rewarded. Or you cannot even open the app at all. The points also need to last longer before expiring. I am shopping for a single person and cannot build up enough points to redeem in a single month, or even two months most of the time. Looking forward to see if they make adjustments..RedheadblueVersion: 1.5
Won’t openI can’t even get this app to open. I’ve used it for quizzes and trying to earn points. I tried to open it about two weeks ago and it wouldn’t open. I’ve been trying to open it ever since. I’ve tried everything I know to do. I’m at the point where I’m just going to delete it and forget about it.Twinklebelle21Version: 1.8
So many problemsWorked great the first few months I had it. Then was unable to open the app for a long time. Months it would not load. Finally today I deleted the app and reinstalled to see if that would work. App now loads but I cannot log in. When I try to reset my password it tells me there is a problem with my email address. On a whim I tried setting up my account again and was told it was by invite only. I have an account. This is so frustrating. Please fix Kroger.Traumagirl125Version: 1.6
Does not work properly!!!!!!This app is a great concept but nothing about it works properly. It will give you bonus points and or coupons and then they will disappear before the expiration date. The app will have you opt in on something for bonus points and then you never receive the bonus points. It only seems to work right about 20 percent. I hope that Kroger pays attention to all the negative reviews and fix this app because it is a great idea if working properly..Ace1clVersion: 1.5
App never worksIt hasn’t been able to open for the past few weeks. I can delete the app and add it back. The app will work when reinstalled, but after it will just spin and never let you back in. Previously I reached out to customer service because it wouldn’t let me “purchase” a $10 off my order, I lost those points. Someone was supposed to reach out and help, that was in August. Developers need to push a major hot fix..Sarah079474Version: 1.7
The app is not workingThe app has worked in the past, but lately it will not open even after deleting and download over and over again. This is messed up and the app bugs need to be fixed!.Gwen1967Version: 1.7
Was Working Now It’s NotThis app worked great as long as I wasn’t in a Kroger store using their WiFi. Now it’s extremely glitchy and circles the drain every time I try to open it. I get push notifications about extra point opportunities but if the app won’t load I can’t take advantage of them. Very frustrating! I now have to delete the app and then re-add it every single time I want to open it..Suz48Version: 1.7
Taking too long to loadI’m on ios 17 and something seems to have changed causing the app to stay on the initial splash screen with the spinner spinning continuously. It’s a hit or miss whether it eventually loads. Also, I don’t understand why you have 2 different apps to track rewards for Kroger. Please find a way to integrate fresh mode into the main Kroger app itself..SunetriVersion: 1.8
Another hoop to jump thru, another frustrationThis app (WHEN you can log in) does offer savings. However, along w/e-coupons, CashBack, & weekly deals, it contributes to the hoops customer has to jump thru to get those savings in 1 trip. That’s WHEN it works-50% of the time. Not sure frustration is worth couple of dollars - WHEN/if they’re finally credited..OooberbuyerVersion: 1.7
TerribleApp doesn’t work right. Get messages about bonuses and they’re nowhere to be found. Takes forever to update any new points you accumulate. Unused points don’t carry over, but you have to stare at them every time you open the app, which is useless information. App has good intentions, and I really wish it would work correctly...Chad10byron7Version: 1.5
Invite required-invalidI received a printout at the register upon checkout. When attempting to create an account, it stated “invite only” and would not allow me to proceed. I thought the cashier may have given me someone else’s receipt, but I watched it print out after I entered my loyalty number. I’ll change my rating if I eventually do gain access..PastryjVersion: 1.6
Cannot Open AppThis app started out good but now I have to uninstall and reinstall to use. It works for that moment but when you try to open again it only spins but do not open until reinstalled. Very frustrating..DmomoffivrVersion: 1.8
Great Savings. Bad App.Love the concept with this savings program, and have earned a bunch. But, just to open the app I’m having to delete it off my iPhone and reinstall it each time. This is incredibly frustrating..Real Talk listenerVersion: 1.8
Does it even workWhen this app is actually working - I really enjoy it. But I can only get it to open once every 5 or 6 days. Please fix this problem with the app to make it usable..Last bikingVersion: 1.8

Great app when it works!!Please fix the glitches in this app! It’s a great app, love the savings it gives but if it only works half the time it’s useless!!! I’ve missed out on saving because it wouldn’t load!.Thedeal4Version: 1.8
Not well executedWhy would you create a separate program with a separate login to earn Rewards? Signing up was cumbersome, why would you ask customers to retype everything you already have all my information?.Turtles-94Version: 1.6
Love the saving but App is terribleSince the last update I have to delete the app and re-download to access app. I get push notifications but whenever I try to averse the app it just spins.Sissy3456789Version: 1.8
Wouldn’t Allow Me To JoinI was sent something in the mail, telling me to download their new app. I tried to sign up and was given a prompt saying that it was an invite only app… I wouldn’t have known about the app unless they told me about it, sooo that’s kind of an invite. Am I wrong?.CoryHall93Version: 1.6
AwfulNow you have to delete the app and reinstall it each time you use it for it to work. Was working fine after first download for a while and suddenly stopped working compelely. Seriously the worst app I've ever used..KprincesssparkleVersion: 1.7
Won’t let me purchase rewards - uselessThis used to work and I got some nice discounts. But this month I cannot purchase any rewards and it’s nothing but frustrating..Nutmeg momVersion: 1.7
