trstnkn Posted January 25, 2017 Posted January 25, 2017 Thanks, I'll ask for manager next time. I just replenished my points with another Smart Sense 100% back purchase, so I'm back. Quote

Next time, try taking your purchase up to customer service or get a supervisor involved. Your SYW game ups dramatically with using just enough points to stay above a coupon threshold and then receiving points back. Expand Yes, I've been burnt a few times with cashiers not listening or who don't know how to do it and just send it through. Most of the folks I check out with often put them through smoothly. Quote

I get zero coupons and barely any help when I reach out. I always reach out before I'm considering sets and I've hoarded points. Nothing... Expand PM me. I can hook you up if you want. On 1/25/2017 at 1:07 AM, trstnkn said: I mainly do my SYW shopping online, but I did check out a KMT near my kids' school today. The cashier said she could only use all of my points rather than me giving her a certain amount. As a result, I purchased an Elves Dragon Sanctuary (41178) for $2.25. No complaints there. My other KMT always allows me to dictate how many points to use? She told me I could only dictate points online not instore. Expand Most cashiers have been pretty good about only using a certain amount of points. As Exciter1 said, its beneficial to ask for a supervisor. 1 Quote

I need to do a better job checking if I get these. I guess I personally avoid buying non-Lego things to get points for Lego. Maybe I'll re-evaluate that. Generally I just use the coupons online or via text that are $5 off $35, etc. and surprise points. Then play with the cart to see what is the best math for surprise points vs coupon (and points back listed). Quote

pete411 Posted January 25, 2017 Posted January 25, 2017 Has anyone been able to find what they want to buy on the Fount app? What a piece of hot garbage.

trstnkn Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 So my resistance x-wing (75149) just showed up in a bag, not a box. And to add further insult to injury, the bag is too small, so they just sealed the bag to the Lego box. Up until now my Legos have only arrived in shipping boxes. There is no stock on this item within 50 miles. The liquidating KMT near me "might" have one. I could try to swap it out there tomorrow. If that's a dead end, anyone have any other suggestions for plan B? Quote

Expand the app is pretty bad. but you have to click the search in the bottom menu bar, then use the search bar at the top of that page. and then you an use the refine to help clean that up. on the plus side it does auto load while scrolling so its not quite a bad as the kmart mobile site... l 1 Quote

FM Posted January 28, 2017 Posted January 28, 2017 My lesson in Kmart math: A = Star Wars First Order Transporter #75103 $79.99, earn $22.99 in points B = Creator Lakeside Lodge #31048 $21.16, earn $2.11 in points C = A + B = 2 sets $101.15, earn $25.10 BUT Kmart math (checkout) says C = 2 sets $101.15, earn $49.16 Which works out to 59% off: $39.75 for 75103 and $13.25 for 31048 inc. tax. Glitchy stuff. I got in one order, then the FOT went off the points back special 2 Quote
