KROGER: Negative shopper's card balance???

[Eyegottaibotta]

I somehow have a negative balance on my Kroger shopper's card which has me quite perplexed.

Has anyone ever seen this before? Waiting to hear back from customer service.

Great post.  Never seen this and curious to see what others say.

How do you have 5¢?  Did you transfer everything but 5¢ to either PAYPAL or Shoppers card? .

@Rickibotta The $0.05 KCB balance might be a typo or system error, I had it once, it was supposed to be $0.50

@Rickibotta Turns out that @swallow is correct about a system error(s). The .05¢ is actually 50¢ and for some reason shows up that way on the summary screen. When I click on the balance to redeem it corrects to 50¢.

I did a live chat today and they confirmed that my negative balance was caused by a system error. I had previously sent $1 to this card and applied it to my purchase. The system did not process the first transaction correctly and the $1 remained on my card. When they rectified their error, they deducted the $1 that was used twice and hence the negative balance. Customer service sent the $1 to my shopper's card with apologies.

I usually send my KCB to PayPal and I sent $1 to my card in order to use the remaining balance (27¢) on a virtual Visa card that I have loaded to Kroger Pay. I reconcile my KCB balance and didn't notice my shopper's card balance since it doesn't show in the app.
