7 Fry’s Secrets Employees Wish Arizonans Knew
With grocery prices where they are, every little discount at the register counts.
Arizonans who shop at Fry’s may be missing a few savings simply because the rules are buried in the fine print.
Here’s what Fry’s employees wish more shoppers knew.
1. Household Card Linking
Fry’s offers household account linking for Shopper’s Cards, according to its account FAQ.
Linked accounts combine your coupons, Fuel Points and rewards with others in your household.
Everyone linked has to share the same address and shop for that household.
Call 800-576-4377 to have your accounts linked.
How a Fry’s Alt ID Works
If you don’t have a Shopper’s Card number, you can create an Alt ID, a 10-digit number, during account creation.
Any 10-digit number can work, as long as it isn’t already in use.
The number can’t start with 0.
Customers typically use their mobile phone number for it.
2. Digital Coupons Across Kroger Stores
Digital coupons you load can be used at any Kroger family of stores, according to Fry’s coupon FAQ.
The catch?
The product has to be in stock.
3. Rain Check Discretion
Rain checks and make good offers are available at your manager’s discretion.
Under that wording, the decision rests with the manager.
4. Paper Coupons at Pickup
Fry’s Pickup treats digital and paper coupons differently.
Digital coupons you load to your Shopper’s Card apply automatically.
Paper is different.
Paper coupons can only be applied in person at the time of pickup, and that may increase your pickup time.
If you clip paper coupons, you bring them with you to pickup.
5. Pickup Substitutions
If you allow substitutions, Fry’s Pickup follows a set order when an item you ordered is out of stock, according to its pickup FAQ.
If the same type of item is available in a larger quantity, your order is upgraded to the larger item.
Next comes the same brand in different packaging, such as boxed sugar instead of bagged sugar.
After that, the same type of item from a different brand may be substituted.
Special dietary items, such as gluten-free or vegan products, will always be substituted with items that meet the same dietary requirements.
If you accept a substitution, you’ll be charged the price of the substituted item.
You may also refuse these items before your order is completed and loaded into your car.
6. Boost and Express Delivery
Fry’s delivery FAQ says Boost members receive free delivery on orders of $35 or more, so a bigger order changes what you pay.
An Express Delivery surcharge of $4.95 comes on top of the $9.95 standard delivery fee.
Fry’s Boost FAQ lists two plans, Boost at $99 a year or $12.99 a month and Boost Essential at $69 a year or $8.99 a month.
Boost Essential members get free delivery on orders of $35 or more for Next Day deliveries.
Boost members (not Boost Essential) pay $4.95 for express delivery time slots, and other time slots are free on orders of $35 or more.
7. Cash Back Rewards
Fry’s Cash Back Rewards can go to your Shopper’s Card or a PayPal account, according to the cash back FAQ.
The Cash Back program is currently a pilot and may be terminated at any time.
Transfers to PayPal open up as soon as you’ve earned $20.00.
Cashouts are capped at $99.99 a day.
Rewards are available within a week of meeting an offer’s purchase requirements.
You can earn them on in-store or online purchases, though you should scan your Shopper’s Card at the register when you shop in the store.
Delivery Payment Methods
Fry’s delivery FAQ lists the payment methods it accepts.
At this time, you can pay with credit cards, debit cards or gift cards.
Flexible spending account (FSA) and health savings account (HSA) payments work too, along with Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits.
Cash, checks and Women, Infants, and Children program (WIC) benefits aren’t accepted.
If you rely on WIC, Fry’s pickup FAQ says it can’t accept it at this time either.
Pharmacy Transfers and Walk-Ins
Fry’s pharmacy page says its pharmacy accepts most insurance plans and a variety of prescription discount cards.
You don’t need an account to transfer a prescription to Fry’s.
Walk-ins are welcome for vaccines, and you can also schedule an appointment.
