True, with the difference that we're all Ponzi.

The $15 off $75 coupon has disappeared from the mobile coupon site, after being active for only a few days. I hope you stocked up on them while they were there! Left are $10 off $75, $5 off $50 and $5 off $35.

Never saw them

Definitely was there yesterday and Sunday. I know because I received 2x $15 off $75 via email, felt special about receiving them for a day or two and then noticed them for general availability on the mobile site (under Guest). Didn't report them because I thought someone already did earlier.

What's great to get with a $5 off $20 coupon?

Depends on how many points and gift cards you also have.

Has anyone gotten a reply from SYW, Sears, or Kmart email customer service within the last week? A lot of people are saying they are no longer monitoring email inquiries ?

No. But I've gotten 2 surveys to fill out about the customer service I didn't receive.

Nope - in fact, I've tried several times to email them and I have had the email returned because their mailbox is full. I've also not received a response when sending questions through their website. I used to get a response back within hours. Not a good sign. 

Let's just say I'm glad I was able to get $110 in merch for $70 in points this week.

Let's just say they need to stay in business for another 2 weeks and I'm fine. As long as they keep shipping to Sears until the end of the month....

I've heard that its because they want people to call or go through the chat boxes, but I agree its not a good sign. I suspect they will survive until June at least, if they do declare bankruptcy lets just hope its chapter 11. Then our GCs and SYW points have a chance at being worth something.

If they aren't in imminent danger of declaring bankruptcy then I can chalk this one up to SYW being SYW.

Nevertheless, I have been on "minimize dependency" mode with them for the last few months, and will remain to be so. I have no money tied up with them, and even if I place orders and they don't get fulfilled, I am not out any money. Not holding any GCs either. Only points I have have been earned on purchases that are on their own already good deals, so if I were to lose the points it would be bad, but not a real problem.

I've been doing the same. Only holding less than $50 in GC at any one time and not planning any long term points rolling schemes. I guess it will be time for me to return to clearance scavenging soon. SYW has been a great way for me to grow my business substantially, and if they do go under they will always hold a place in my heart for that. Every time I go to my local Kmart to pick up some orders I feel nostalgic honestly, even though I never got close to seeing them in their prime.

Well lets hope fast eddie can get them out of this one and this is just another BR scare. Long live FREELEGO.com! 

I've sourced about 25% of my inventory from them but they've definitely provided the best margins between clearance and rewards. 

Ok this is new .... WWW is currently under "XTRA", not under the "Featured" Sweeps list. Either this is an extra WWW, and the real WWW shows up later in the day, including Doorbuster sweeps (sometimes it doesn't appear until closer to noon EST), or SYW has done away with the doorbusters on WWW (nooooooooo!). I've done my first 2 sweeps in the XTRA tab but am hesitant to play more should the real WWW show up and the sweeps somehow count across both ...... Anyone seen this before?

Has anyone been having problems redeeming your SYW points this morning?

I got:

1 local store is doing a storewide sale, 10-30 % off ticketed prices. 15 % off the entire toy section with everything ticketed for MSRP.

 

Clearance was changed from 50% to 30% as lol mentioned.

There is no WWW one (it moved to XTRA this week, which has no DBs). What was the third DB? Did I miss it, and why didn't you share? Do you need to repeat kindergarten? ;-)

Your store will be shrinking starting in July, but not closing, so good news I guess

 

There are multiple stores doing the same thing, look for "Inventory Blowout" signage.
