Its loaded on my coupons still after ecoupons went down.
Not available for me.
Can’t find the slippery thing;?)
The offer is gone. It just says check back for more offers
It says it is loaded to my card! Yay!! I’m hoping to get there today, but time is slipping away from me.
I used it today and it really helped us with our groceries!
Also saying “check back for new offers” for me :(. Can’t find it in regular Kroger coupons either.
Thanks saved me 25$ on the junk food for my daughters birthday party coming up on Thursday. I was able to get her gluten free treats as well as regular treats for her friends at a great price
I think this is gone now. When I sign into my account I do not see this coupon. Bummer!
I logged into fredmeyers account and i see this coupon under digital coupons. Collin this is not illegal.
I was actually supposed to be part of that Bzz campaign but I’m getting the message to check back for more offers. So I suppose I don’t actually get to participate since it must have gotten out to the public. I have an email in to BzzAgent so we will see if they find a fix. Fingers crossed.
I am participating in the buzz campaign!… today I got an email from them saying something about the offer and I was thinking they must send is our own link. Who knows now what’s going to happen.
What category is the digital coupon under on the krogers website? I can’t find it!!
I am new to some of this stuff. Do I need an iphone, etc. to use this particular offering? Or does it just somehow go right onto my Kroger card that I use when I check out at the store? Thanks to anyone who can help this newbie.
you just type In your phone number or swipe your club card
I can’t find it
Says check back for more offers. Dead 🙁
Worked!!!!! This coupon worked at the register. It had to be 50$ after sale price discounts and any digital coupons you plan on using. I got my weeks worth of grocery and charmin toilet paper for 30$, which would have costed me 55$. Yeah!!!
Thanks for sharing.
Fine print says offer not to be shared. Something about this is weird. This is not how Kroger usually has you load digital coupons.
Bingo. Smart and observant.
I got it!!!
I got it ! Thank you.
Just left Kroger, and it worked with no problem. If Kroger didn’t want “just anyone” using it they wouldn’t have made it available to load when you log into your Kroger account. Worked like a charm. Thanks, Collin!!
Glad it worked! But just a FIY, it wasn’t meant for everyone, BzzAgent’s FB even said so. But I am glad you got it to work.
who cares? bless your heart, you are like a dog with a bone. how many times have you posted about this? Everyone knows it’s a fluke…. now go out and have some fun
I agree with you, Dana (and there was absolutely nothing wrong with your comment:)).
I didn’t say there was anything wrong with her comment. Merely, that she had commented several times with the same information. But, thanks for your input Jennifer. Now, I need to go out and have some fun I hope you do the same.
cpull16, I will go have some fun since I was actually part of this BzzCampaign through BzzAgent:)!! Hope you were part of the campaign too:)! Have a wonderful day and enjoy your free stuff from Kroger!
sorry this was meant for Dana not Becky
I care because you stole my coupon.
Isnt buzz agent first come first serve? I didnt get in Neutrogena 30 min after I received my email from them. So now I have notifications sent to my phone so I dont miss out! 🙂
It is as far as getting into the campaign itself, but this coupon was available after getting accepted (almost a week later). It got released to the general public since they didn’t make it so there was a unique link for each person in the campaign. Once it got out of hand it was pulled so it couldn’t be downloaded and then even those that were the intended recipients couldn’t download it. I know what you are saying about getting into the campaigns too…frustrating sometimes!
cpull16- wow, how rude can you be? You don’t feel bad at all that you ruined things for those who were in this bzzcampaign? Enjoy your free $25 worth of stuff at Kroger.
It affects the people who signed up for this campaign and didn’t get the digital coupon. I signed up for this BzzAgent promotion last week and missed it because it was erroneously allowing everyone to load the coupon.
Ok I have a question…it said loaded to my card but it’s not showing up in my coupons? Is that right?
Mine too.
It’s under the “My coupons” section. It’s not with the regular digital coupons.
Just used mine at 3:10 in Louisville. Did say bzz something 25 off. Thanks!!
My Kroger in Worthington, Ohio had their red, white, and blue bagged (the basic quality Kroger brand) chocolate chips on closeout for 94 cents! Great deal!!!
Thanks! I shop at the Worthington Kroger, too.
I’m from the Columbus, OH area too! Nice to see that some Hipsters live close by!
As usual, I got screwed out of this deal as I must have been a few minutes too late. I even called their digital coupon customer service number. They had no clue about the offer and he checked for 20 minutes.
Unfortunately, this coupon was only intended for people that are participating in a program through BzzAgent–that is why not everyone at Kroger customer service would know that it was even available. I am personally one of the people participating in the program and fortunately did get to load the coupon. However, it was not meant to be shared with the general public and they have since taken the coupon down. That being said they should have made it so it couldn’t be shared to avoid the confusion in the first place. I see that a lot of people that were supposed to receive this coupon can’t download it now too, so they are the ones that got hurt in this situation:)
Jennifer, which campaign are you participating in? I’m in the Kroger TimeSaver campaign and was curious if this was part of that campaign. If so, I never received a link for this coupon. Maybe this is a different campaign.
It is part of the Inspired Gatherings campaign through Kroger, so it is a different campaign.
I guess I’m a little confused by these “campaigns” everyone is talking about. I’m not part of any of those not did I receive an email about this coupon. I was, however, logged in to my Kroger account this morning before I ever saw anything about this coupon and it was there on my screen available to add to my card. I did not use a shared link or anything like that. If it was only intended for a certain group of people why was it on my Kroger page? I had this coupon loaded to my card long before I read about it here and it didn’t say anything about bzzagent.
BzzAgent is a program where you can test products and review them, etc.. The coupon was part of one such test “campaign” but somehow was made available to the general public (from what you are saying even more widespread than just someone sharing it…). It is hard to get invitations in BzzAgent, so it disappointed a lot of people when they were unable to get their compensation for taking part. Of course Kroger probably wasn’t too happy with the glitch either:)
I called Kroger the link would be up by tommrow moring
how did you get screwed? I never sit around thinking about how I get jilted by missing out on a deal. this wasn’t a guarantee or something you were entitled to. you missed out, I miss out everyday.
It’s not missing out on a deal. We had a spot in the campaign and our coupon was stolen by somebody who didn’t get the campaign.
Your coupon was stolen? Oh that’s just funny. I loaded this coupon to my card long before this site advertised it. There was nothing on this coupon that said it was for a specific “elite” group of people riding in on their high horses. This coupon was available to everyone who has a Kroger account so nobody stole your coupon.
Can’t agree more Tom. 🙂
@Tim,
Now that you know this is a glitch on Kroger’s end and know the coupon was meant for Bzzagents who are participating. Will you be willing to remove the coupon from your account? There were a few people who commented here said they had removed the coupon after they knew the truth because it was wrong and they didn’t want to take advantage of the glitch. A week ago after we got accepted to join this BzzCampaign, we were told the $25 coupon would be available for us to download on Feb 10. But somehow, the glitch happened to let you load the coupon ahead of us. It is not like you are entitled/eligible to this offer even though it showed up on your Kroger coupon app.
I agree with you so much Mandy. Tim, yes the coupon was technically stolen. Bzzagent members who didn’t load the coupon are screwed now. Luckily I did load the coupon before it went viral, but a few of my friends were unable to. SO not fair. Now that you know it wasn’t meant for all, would you be willing to delete it from your account?
Stolen is harsh. I understand NOW that it was not intended for the general public. But for many of us, it showed up in our coupons without linking from this site. Many of us used it without knowing. So for us, it was offered BY THE STORE. That is not stealing. That IS evidently a company error. I understand that you are angry, your coupon is not available. But you need to take a deep breath and think about who is responsible before inferring someone is a thief.
I agree with Ann Marie if its a company’s glitch how can you blame this site and how this is stealing. What ever event members you guys are, if kroger have no problem then how can you guys say something like this. And remember how many times this site have saved & helped all of us.
I didn’t say anything about this site. Intentional or not, it is the same. We did a lot of work for this campaign and we ended up getting nothing from it because other people got to use our hard earned coupons. I guess that’s the American way. Let everybody do the work while you reap the benefits. Like Mandy said, did you unload it once you found out it wasn’t for you? Of course not.
At least you didn’t actually sign up for the legitimate BzzAgent campaign this promotion was intended for. I signed up last week and didn’t get the coupon as I should have.
Mine says it loaded when I did it but now I can’t find it on my account can someone please tell me where to find it.
I used it at kroger affiliate Frys Food in arizona. It worked. I kept my total above $50 AFTER coupons just to be on the safe side
Thanks Lori! Was wondering if it would work at Frys! 🙂
I just got back from Kroger and it worked for me! $53 worth for $28! So glad I got it in time. It really helped us! Thanks, Collin! 🙂
If anyone’s interested in the Bzz Agent campaigns, send me your e-mail address. Thank you. You get to try lots of great products and also share your opinions.
I am interested in it. Can you tell me more info about it? couponsvgdiva @ gmail.com
Please email at ellieb1942@yahoo.com. I would like to participate. Thanks!
I’d like to participate coy33@hotmail.com
I am interested…kristisdeals@yahoo.com
It worked! Manager specials and all!
Just got back from my Kroger and it worked…….yeah,talked to the store manager on my way out and told him how awesome that download was and said thanks will let corporate know…..thanks Collin for the heads up you rock 🙂
Used it with no problem!!! So happy.
I have it on my card, but I am curious, does your sub-total after all coupons (paper and digital) need to be $50+ or is it just after any digital coupons?
So if I already loaded it to my card, will they remove it?
i can’t find it, maybe it’s gone now?
It’s quite possible that this was only intended for a certain club/group. I do not intend for this to be insulting, a fact finding mission or a finger pointing campaign. With that being said, I do find it hard to believe that in this day and age, a major corporation such as Kroger and all the businesses under that corporation would rely on someone simply stating, “We’ll tell everyone not to share”. WikiLeaks….need I say more? Think about it, even if only 5000 people were able to download this coupon accidentally, that’s $125,000. I may be old fashion but I can honestly say that I can’t think of anyone that would lay $125K on telling a group of unknown people, “don’t share”. I don’t see this as a fault of BzzAgent’s site or agents mind you but I sure hope the Kroger family doesn’t think they don’t share in liability if this truly was not supposed to have happen.
Those of you complaining about missing out (non-BzzAgents) because of your life, commitments or whatever……. really? I mean….. really?? Just because you signed up for this website doesn’t mean you have an open invitation for whenever you have time available to “claim” any and all subjects of posting on this site. Please refer to, “you win some… you lose some”.
Now, for anyone that feels compelled to stone me via verbal assault, go for it if makes you feel better. I know how to scroll. =)
Well said:)!!
LOL! Ditto – well said. I find the “Coupon Police” a very tiring and grouchy gang.
Possibly one of the best comments I have ever read in relation to deals and not getting one. Well said! No stones being thrown from my direction! And I agree with everything you said! You just said it better and nicer than I could have. 🙂
Thank you so much for this wonderful response. I was shocked to see so many bitter over this. I was able to get some much needed groceries for a great price so Thanks Colin!
Women get so catty over coupons, don’t we?! Lol.
Speaking as a bzzagent who was accepted for this campaign but wasn’t able to access my “unique” coupon, I’m disappointed. This was my first good one after filling out about 50 surveys and waiting months to get an offer. Now if I don’t promote Inspired Gatherings, I may not get in on other campaigns. The Q is the incentive and now there is none. I don’t blame the ppl who downloaded, there should be better security measures in place, maybe now that this has happened, there will be. I don’t expect ppl to always go by the rules, it’s an unrealistic expectation, but I am disappointed that an owner of a website dedicated to helping us all save would promote it’s misuse. Why not just promote How to Become a Bzz Agent instead! http://www.bzzagent.com. That is all
Well said. I am a BzzAgent, signed up for this campaign and didn’t get the coupon either. I completely expected the coupon to be linked to my card which was in my BzzAgent profile.
Well I am a BzzAgent in this campaign (where you get this $25 off $50 coupon) and now because it was leaked, I cannot download it…. I hope I am able to actually use this and participate in the campaign…
I’m a BzzAgent in the campaign as well and cannot download it either. They did send out an email a little while ago saying they’re trying to fix the issue. I hope they are able to fix it b/c I want to participate in it as well. Kinda stinks!
Now when you try to click on the download digital coupon link in BzzAgent, it says “All coupons have been claimed. Thanks Agents!”… I think there was a big disconnect between Kroger and BzzAgent and I’m wondering if Kroger will even give more coupons for BzzAgents to use. Someone on here was saying how they called Kroger and they said that it was for the first 15,000 Kroger Plus customers. I don’t think so since our coupon died right when this all came up. There’s no coincidence. Now I’m kicking myself for not loading it right when I got the email from BzzAgent :/ I hope this all works out. I mean I’m glad for all of the people who got to save money on their shopping trip, but now I don’t and I’m the one in the campaign.
The few people who shared this on blogs and such are going to have their bzzzagent accounts deleted. So I hope it was worth it to get a bunch of blog comments. I did NOT get this campaign. However I would be just as upset as the people who lost out if I did get it and had it stolen just because some idiots couldn’t help sharing. Obviously it was not supposed to be available to everyone. And this blog has it posted like its some great coupon that just anyone can use. Obviously not. I am not bitter at all because I don’t even have a Kroger near me. But if one of the campaigns I have gotten was stolen from me I would be upset. And that is what happened here. I don’t blame the people who loaded it at first, because they didn’t know what they were doing. But the people who shared the link are at fault IMO.
I think this was a kroger glitch in the system. I checked my coupons on my kroger app this morning and it was in my list (before I even saw this website). I am not a bzzzzzagent but am a very frequent kroger shopper. I loaded it and used it. I am not sure how this would have been “obvious” that it was not available to everyone.
lol. I must type slower than you Ann Marie. My sentiments exactly.
What about ALL the ones that logged onto their Kroger/affiliate store account and saw it on their digital coupons to load (not by this link or any other blog) ??? Pass the “blame” a little. Kroger stores made it public. What’s great about BzzAgent is that they will make it right for those that were invited and couldn’t load it. Everyone needs to take a deep breath. I’m not targeting you, just had to give my 2 cents.
Except they never made it right. We got nothing out of it.
I agree. Get some ethics, collin!
I’m part of this BzzCampaign as well, and received an email saying to hang right because there’s been “issues” with some
I am also part of this BzzCampaign and received an email from them stating the same thing. I hope that we can get this coupon in the end. So disappointed in those people who still downloaded the coupon when you knew it was meant for Bzzagents who participated the Campaign!
oops! wrong typo…”when THEY knew it was meant……
So when I looked at my Kroger account this morning and this coupon was right there for me to download how would you expect me to know it was for certain people? I did not click a link or read a blog or anything. I was planning on filling my gas tank today so I logged on to my Kroger account and there the coupon was. I don’t feel bad at all. Obviously this coupon wasn’t just intended for a specific group of people. I had this coupon loaded to my card probably before most of the Bzzagents were out of bed.
@Tim,
I know you were not aware of the coupon that was supposed to be loaded by the select group when you had loaded it. But now that you knew the truth and if you haven’t used the coupon yet even if you have downloaded it, then will you be willing to remove the coupon from your account? Can you be able to be honest enough to remove it? This is what I really meant. I am sure it is tempting to most.
@Tim,
Now that you know this is a glitch on Kroger’s end and know the coupon was meant for Bzzagents who are participating. Will you be willing to remove the coupon from your account? There were a few people who commented here said they had removed the coupon after they knew the truth because it was wrong and they didn’t want to take advantage of the glitch.

But somehow, the glitch happened to let you load the coupon ahead of us. It is not like you are entitled/eligible to this offer even though it showed up on your Kroger coupon app.
I removed of my own free will and choice but you can not ask that of people. Kroger messed up and had it on his homepage, they should eat the cost. Whether he deletes or not will not give you back your coupon and Bzz agent will make it right for you.
Your comment is irrelevant. She said she is disappointed in the people who still downloaded the coupon when you knew it was meant for Bzzagents who participated the Campaign. If that doesn’t apply to you, then why do you care?
If anyone has a Kroger Marketplace, check the toy isles for closeout tags…At my store, they have legos 50% off or more thomas and friends 50% off, same with hot wheels and barbie, all 50% off or more!! Thought i would share.
This is to FUNNY, I call it the Hip To Save effect. This promo is intended for Bzz Agents that joined the campaign. Just got a email from Bzz/Kroger that they are cutting this one off and will be sending an updated, one-time-use-only to the remaining Bzz members in the campaign. What a hoot, the Hip to save community killed the deal! Super funny!
More like Slickdeals killed the campaign. I never got an email stating that and I am a Bzzagent who enrolled in this campaign and didn’t get the coupon. My email stated they were aware of the problem and working on it.
I was able to use this coupon no problem… It was actually listed as an available coupon when I logged into my account this morning. I don’t know what the big deal is, but it saved me a good chunk off my grocery bill this week and I can’t complain about that. And Kroger does (at least in my area) offer these coupons every once in a great while, so it’s not all that surprising.
My guess is bzzagent and Kroger knew what they were doing on this one. No business as big as Kroger would expose itself to a “loss” like this with the hope that people won’t share, or that a
Ha my nursing baby hit submit mid comment for me. Anyway, in the end, Bzzagent now is on the radar of a whole bunch of people who had probably never heard of it before, and they will have a bunch of new signups as a result. Kroger got a ton of people to visit the digital coupon section of their site. Not a bad day for either of them.
So true, Jenn! Good point.
And lost a lot of people because they never fixed the issue or replaced the coupon
I downloaded the coupon before I even knew what Bzz was. I’ve thought about it all day and deleted it from my card. I’m sure there was a glitch somewhere and I don’t feel right taking advantage of it. That’s just me. Nothing against anyone else. I’m not the moral police. Hope they get it fixed for the bzzagents.
You set a good example. People used the coupon anyway even though they found out later it wasn’t meant for them.
God bless you! I wish everyone was like you. I can’t believe people don’t feel bad for taking advantage of this glitch and walking out with $25 worth of free stuff from Kroger when they KNOW it wasn’t meant for them.
Who took advantage? If the coupon wasn’t for the people to use, it wouldn’t have loaded to their card! Companies like that know for certain coupons to put a one time use on it and their system will reject it if it is shared or used more than once. I loaded the coupon BEFORE Hip or any other site put it in their blog. It was in my digital coupons. I did it 2 days BEFORE. I talked to a store manager last night and he said that Kroger corp put the coupon out for so many people and that it WASN’T specific for Bzz. As for saying that people that used it took advantage because they knew, how did they know exactly? Because YOU were on here and telling everyone? Others were saying it wasn’t. So who is the person to listen to? You think it was you. SO they didn’t listen to you so you are saying they took advantage. There have been too many stories over this and it seems that many talked to managers and even called customer service. Kroger had how many people come in their stores over this? They knew exactly what they were doing. I personally spend $800 to $1200 a month there and I get these kinds of coupons available all the time. I check my account daily because I have new deals all the time. Get over it. Who are you anyway? Maybe Bzz should have been on here telling people not to use it if they weren’t supposed to. Not up to you. Or maybe they should have had a competent team making sure everything was done properly before posting. But I am fine with my coupon. I will use it in the next few days because I was told that it was for the first so many people that loaded it to their cards.
Very well said Kylee! Thank you! 🙂
Idiots, that is like saying “I don’t care if that coupon is not for that product, if it scans I may use it anyway!”
lol you spend $800-$1200 a month at Kroger? You must not be a very good couponer. Glad I don’t need coupons like this since I spend about $100 a month on groceries, most of which are organic and not trash.
I loaded it to my card and shopped at Kroger this afternoon worked like a charm yeah!
Add $1.25 totinos pizza roll coupon to your ralphs club card.Final price after coupon…FREE!They had this same coupon last month so if you added it then you can get 2 free . Valentines dinner???
Im n bzzagent. If the coupon is loaded am i still going to be able to use? Havent had chance go outa town shopping yet this month
Kroger headquarters said it was for the first 15,000 people who claimed it. Period.
It was meant for Bzzagents. Where did they announce it was for the first 15,000 period? Just wondering! If that is that case, Bzzagent.com messed up BIG time!!
Oh- and I was one of the lucky 15,000. WOOT WOOT!!!
My sister ,who was curious as to why she could not load the coupon called Kroger headquarters and they told her there were 15,000 coupons available to the first Kroger plus customers who claimed them. There was no mention about any Bzzagents- only Kroger plus customers. So, the way I see it and according to Kroger, anyone who claimed a coupon, won it fair and square. Winners…ENJOY your shopping trip!
Honestly, some of these comments have kept me very entertained over the past 24 hours:) Listen bargain friends, you win some, you lose some. None of you REALLY know who is at fault. Maybe it was Kroger, maybe it was BzzAgent, but whoever it was, there is no need to be so ugly to those who got. Lots of coupon police telling others what they should do and trying to make them feel bad for “taking” the coupons they they *think* were meant for them. I got the coupon. On an average week, I spend somewhere around $250-300 at Kroger. I actually spent $130 the night before this coupon came out. I have been on Hip2Save for MANY years. I have missed many HOT deals over the years, but I don’t get on and get ugly to those who got the deals! That’s life. I will let you know I have NO intention of removing the coupon from my plus card. Judge all you want:) Oh, and have a great Tuesday!!!!
We may not know who was at fault, but we know who paid for it at the end
Well said Megan. I loaded the coupon to my card as I was loading my super sale coupons. It was just a coupon campaign which ended. I had never heard of bzzagent before.
As a customer how will someone decide whether one coupon is meant for him/her. Info not know why these people are complaining here in stead of contacting bzzagent??
One person can’t avail all the deals, it’s one of those situations. In my opinion we should forget it as we feel when we see a message on a bricks coupon: sorry, this coupon program has ended…. Whom do you complain that time? The people who printed??
Lets move on..
