KMart/Sears - Shop Your Way Rewards and points discussion

[donbee]

Nah, my 10 Sweeps wishlist items are all LEGO, and this one was the most expensive one. Not in terms of RRP, but in terms of current value. I could have won a box of bricks from TRU for $60 as well ... not complaining therefore.

Mine are all Lego too. But after you won, I changed them all to $200+ sets. Lol

[squeakdigital00]

Am I the only one who spins to save time when driving?

[Fleck]

What time does the $5.00 sweeps start today. They were advertising that the first 50,000 plays would win $5.00

Well, I spun and lost. Now the app is getting hammered by traffic.

[Phil B]

Didn't realize it was going to hit straight at 2pm CST - I thought it would pop up at some time during that time window. Managed to get a $2 win on the accompanying Wild Win, but lost on the Freecash Friday. The 2 bonus spins (FB and Twitter) don't seem to activate ... not sure why.

[AntimonyER]

Check your account. The $5 was in FREECASH, not points. So even though the spin was a loss, I now have a surprise points offer for $5 on $5 purchase.

Weird. I spun after you did too.

[exciter1]

I have the $5 back on $5 now.

One account got the offer (and a $17 on $100+):

Other account won $0.10, and does not have the offer. Does have the $17 on $100+ though.

UPDATE: FB/Twitter spin seems to work now, and seems to be only 1 spin (so no separate spin for each). Got $0.15 on one account, and the Freecash offer on the other. So try again fellas. Now both accounts have the Freecash points loaded.

A couple area stores dropped down to 50% this week, however - one that I went to, their price scanners showed 50%, but the registers were ringing at 40%, causing a fiasco. 

In addition, they would not take the Ebay Digital Sears gift cards, saying it was store policy. Mind you, they'd taken them in the past, and I didn't feel like putting up a fight, but the whole situation annoyed me.

This is perhaps one of the few stores of any chain I go to that views me with a bit of suspicion and disdain. Most stores seem appreciative when I wipe out their clearance trash no one else wants.

I've had the same happen with digital gift cards at my KMart store. Annoying, but the GC works online so just a minor inconvenience.

[exciter1]

Unmarked, but 50% off at my closest store.

[exciter1]

No stores have 50% off signage up here, but it seems to be universal.

 

[squeakdigital00]

Anyone have a something off of $30 coupon to spare?

[Phil B]

Kmart logic: I was able to order a Ninjago Condrai Copter Attack for $14 yesterday for in-store pickup, only to have it cancelled today due to OoS. I had wanted to pick up a Friends Puppy Salon for $22 earlier but it cancelled out of my cart online due to being OoS in store, however it's still stocked 5 sets deep on the shelf. WTF.

And I couldn't cash in my $5 Freecash from this Friday's XTRA promo because of a silly 5% off 1 toy coupon clipped to my account. Luckily a purchase-return-repurchase cycle helped (at the cost of that coupon).

The set that got crushed when they shipped it in a polybag was listed as being unavailable in stores. But I was able to exchange it because every store I've been to has multiple copies on their shelves.

In the past week I've been to 5 stores - 1 at 30%, 3 at 50% and 1 at 60% that was marked 50%.  This was the painful one... I go to buy 2 Fire Dragons marked $37@.  Perfect, as they should ring up at $37 total, less $5/35 coupon & $5/30 in points.  But at 60% off they rang at $14.80@, or $29.60, just low enough to miss the coupon and the points.  I always use the scanners, but this particular low-rent neighborhood has seen all their scanners destroyed by 'customers'.  Lesson learned... get the scanned price no matter what.

I've been to Thief River Falls. That place is isolated.

[exciter1]

One of those is just north of Phil B. I’m losing my closest store.

[Thanos75]

When I moved down here we had four Kmart's. Now we just have two. .....and they are just a couple miles apart on the same road.

The closest one on the list is one that we share (I think). Due East from where I live (50 miles one way for me). The closest one North is a 120 mile drive. Luckily my current "local" KMart (30 mile drive, but only 10 miles from my work) survives this round. 

EDIT: Skip that, Hillsboro OH is a day's drive away from Marietta. Unless Exciter1 is THAT hungry for deals he's unlikely to make it out there.

Has fast Eddie clenched up his buttcheeks? Before the $5 Friday wins thing they promoted for a week... I was winning bonus and wild wins games a few times each day. Falling in between $50 and $60 every 2 weeks. I've played every one since Friday and I haven't won any of them. Went from winning pretty much every game to not winning a single one, all after that big Friday promotion.

Anyone else noticing the same?
