December 20, 20177 yr Just putting this out there ...... (Fine print: $50 back on purchase of a Christmas tree, max 2 per member. This tree is currently 50% off. Used a 25% off in the Christmas Shop coupon to bring pre-tax total down to $37.50, earned $100 in points). Such a stalker thank you sir!
December 20, 20177 yr I did much the same with a 9' tree a few days ago. Mine was originally 399. Paid 110 including taxes and got most of that back in points.
December 20, 20177 yr To make the $100 in points back even sweeter - check your Freecash offers - there should be a $20 Freecash on $100 purchase one, loaded last night, expiring on 12/26. So basically turn your $100 into $120 instantaneously.

December 20, 20177 yr I now have 2 fake pine trees and the points KMart paid me to take them off their hands. Points expire in 14 days, FYI.
December 21, 20177 yr I also have 2 fake pine trees, and the following LEGO sets: 1x 70312 Lance's Mecha Horse - $4.75 2x 41119 Heartlake Cupcake Cafe - $31.99 each 4x 70330/70337 Nexo Knights figures - $2.50 each 1x 10826 Duplo Miles from Tomorrowland - $8.25 1x 60150 City Pizza Truck - $15.99 Total $102.97, $20 Freecash on $100, makes all the above just the cost of the 2 trees ($35 after coupons and discounted GC). $30 in points left In other news (as you can see from the above): After jumping from 50% to 40% for the last 2 weeks, clearance at one of my KMarts was now 75%. Not a lot to choose from though. Also: Friends, City and Star Wars was priced at 20% off in store. BTW: What is wrong with set 10826? 102 sellers on Amazon, Buy Box $22 for a retired Duplo set .... I thought Duplo was pure gold? Is this set too hoarded? Edited December 21, 20177 yr by Phil B

I thought Duplo was pure gold? Is this set too hoarded? Probably a combination of being hoarded and overproduced relative to demand. Not a great IP. I passed on them when they hit clearance at B&N because there hadn't been appreciation.
December 21, 20177 yr It took a phone call and bad codes locking up my coupon capability, but my Christmas tree fun looks like this... 2 trees @ 39.99 = 79.98. 20% discount gets it to $63.98. Since the coupons weren't working last night the rep used my $48 in points and made up the difference (no sales tax:). So I'm out of pocket $48 in points and get $117 back. Net $69 + 2 Christmas trees that are on OfferUp for $25 and we have buyers for both (hopefully) coming to get them tomorrow. My wife's buy was similar but she had to spend $47 in points and discounted GC, and she netted up $73 + 2 Christmas trees. If the trees sell for $25@, that nets us $242 (100 cash + 142 in points). Thanks Phil B! And to tie it back to Lego, we had the last 10742 available in my cart to get us to $100 to use a $18/100 free cash offer, but it was gone by today, so they credited us an extra $20 in points.
December 21, 20177 yr Yea dog! I'm breaking people off for 15 a tree just to make sure I'm not sitting on them til next year. 4 sales lined up and delivery says tomorrow. $105 x 2 with $61 oop after points. 20 Freecash on 100 expires 12/26 on my end
December 21, 20177 yr 4 trees total. Spent $22 in points and $52 in cash to get them. Received $207 in points. Hoping to get $60 total for the trees. Bought $350 MSRP of LEGO for those points, with $30 left in points.Net result: $8 cash (hopefully), $30 in points and $350 worth of LEGO.

So I'm out about $20 cash for $107 in points while I figure out what to buy. Unfortunately clearance has been almost a total bust here.
December 23, 20177 yr 3 trees sold for $20 each. One more to go. Already +$8 on initial cash outlay, if I sell the last one for $15 I’m also break even on points used.
December 24, 20177 yr Must be quiet at Sears today ... placed an order* at 3pm, and at 3:05pm I had a "your order is ready for pickup" notification on my cellphone :-). My order confirmation hadn't even come through yet in email. Merry Christmas everyone! *) I placed a FreeCash order just to check if my account survived the 2 rounds of purges that allegedly happened at SYW over the last 2 weeks (according to SD). Looks like I get to live still Lots of "multiple accounts at the same address" bans. Edited December 24, 20177 yr by Phil B

I remember it being the busiest store at Christmas, shoulder to shoulder people.

Busiest I've ever seen it. Haven't checked our sears.

If you really want to be safe, change your secondary account to a family member (wife, mom, dad etc).

December 26, 20177 yr Nothing good online or instore for that matter. Going to settle on destiny's bounty to use my free $105.00 plus $20 free cash expiring today. Was hoping trains would show back up. Blah

December 26, 20177 yr I saw that. I did ****** 5 boxes of straight plus 2 switch for about $8 from my first $105+20

I did ****** 5 boxes of straight plus 2 switch for about $8 from my first $105+20 I made the mistake in my first order to not split the transaction into a $100 purchase (to use the $20 off $100) and then a $20, $25 or $30 purchase to use a $3 off $20, $5 off $25 or $5 off $35 (depending on which one you have) to maximize those $105 in points, hope you remembered.
December 26, 20177 yr I had somehow cleared $115 in sweeps winnings over the last two weeks, I won $50 in one go, but also many bonus games and wild wins. Topped it with the $10 freecash on $50 and ordered a Destiny's Bounty for $35 oops. My wife is going to flip a bit when it arrives at her parents house where we're staying this week.
