KMart/Sears - Shop Your Way Rewards and points discussion

[exciter1]

My store that is closing had like five+ of that Halloween vampire, also my store has ZERO Verizon signal so it's impossible to lookup what stuff is going for elsewhere.

I saw about 8 Vampire sets last night too.

[Achilles]

The vampire sets appear to be moving at MSRP.

My closest store is 30% (has been for 3 weeks now), two other regional stores are 20%, and another store is 40%, and apparently was last week too and I missed it. I'm going to brave it today, but my expectations are low. Usually this store has some good stuff too, so I am annoyed I missed it. Can't buy it all, as we say.

Ye olde Kmart YMMV.

 

Other sets I noticed moving at 30% - 60132 City Station, Scarecrow Harvester, Creator Power Jet, 60116, A-Wing Vs. Vader Tie... Most stuff is hanging around however.

At my local store, there were also Y-wings for $38, Scarrif for $28 and many others marked as sale, not clearance.

I wish mine had Y-Wings

I've got one store I'm keeping an eye on that will be the motherload when the 50% off sale hits. Hundreds of sets marked down 20-40% off BEFORE the additional % off. Only store near me I've seen so aggressive with markdowns.

the 2 near me had no additional discount on clearance

A week or so ago it was for $5 and myself/wife and a friend have not gotten the $5.

Ditto, where do I see this appear? I went to the promo page, and clicked on "Get Shopping". Don't see the extra $10 appear anywhere, not in my points total, not as a bonus offer during checkout, nothing.

It shows as surprise points, but can't be used on Hot Buys like normal surprise points can, and doesn't seem like it can be combined with other surprise points.

[KvHulk]

Yup. Shows up under surprise points. As mentioned it excludes hot buys, other surprise point offers and clearance.

Basically surprise points with extra limitations and no price threshold. (I guess)

 Gotcha, I can see it there now. Maybe what I was testing with (Corner Deli) is marked clearance ?

PS: Love it how they keep handing out free money. I mean, when your financial situation is so rosy, you can choose if you want to hand out dividends to shareholders or free money to your (sort of) paying customers ....

12.99 screwdriver set will not pop up $10 surprise points. Took 20 mins for them to show up. So basically doesn't work for me even under the promo categories

And they don't apply to anything I've tried. Anyone an example of an item on which these surprise points actually show?

[teamhappyfrog]

I dont think Hot Buys exist in store

[squeakdigital00]

Me either. I want my 45 min of my life back lol

Had to call customer service to force the $10 bogus free cash from the text yesterday. I had $18 base points total. They applied the $10 and said there was another $3 surprise (well ok)

[carini26]

Woohoo!  7 plays today!  But we might stop you at 4!  No one knows!

For what its worth, I won 100 pts the first 5 plays, lost the last two (4 free spins, 1 twitter share, 1 facebook share, 1 code (PlyW1nIt)

If anybody else, like me, just had a heart-attack because SYW shows I have $0 in points, they seem to be doing an update which is affecting their points system. I got a message stating this when going into my points profile on SYW.com.

[keymomachine]

Yeah, had a similar reaction to that. Just got a working $10 off $25 coupon from that text service that gave us the surprise points and went to check out and found points inoperable.

[KvHulk]

Has anyone been able to use a gift card @ Kmart.com?

Every time I try I'm met with this message: "This gift card number has already been entered. If you have more than one to redeem, please enter another gift card number."

But when I check the balance on Kmart it shows that it's valid and has a balance.

They updated some stuff today so I'm hoping it's just a hiccup...

You got lucky. My FREECASH offers changed their description, and now I have a $10 on $20 Apparel, a $10 on $20 Lawn & Garden, and $1 on $5 Beauty freecash offer. I guess that's why I didn't get them to apply ....

[Phil B]

My FREECASH points disappeared last week, only to return Friday with a clear "in store only" clause. Expiring today. I happened to be relatively close to a KMart in KY, so I popped by to check it out. Indeed, worked like a charm ..... Thanks again for the free LEGO, Kmart!

Btw, clearance was still at 30% off, and was all dumped on low shelves towards the front of the store. Luckily there's still more clearance hiding on top shelves, and the bigger and better sets for that matter. Might need to keep an eye out

[Achilles]

Forgive my ignorance, what exactly is the difference between FREECASH and Surprise Points? Or is it the same thing with a different name?
