Best credit card to use at Ralphs.

Groceries

Ralphs is the Southern California banner of Kroger, operating roughly 180 stores across the Los Angeles and San Diego areas. It codes cleanly as a U.S. supermarket for credit card networks, so grocery bonus cards earn their full rate. Ralphs is also part of the Kroger fuel points program (the chain runs co-located fuel centers in some locations), and the store sells third-party gift cards that can stretch a grocery multiplier into other spending categories.
