First rule of SYW: NEVER, EVER sit on points. Use them as soon as you get them.

I think you made up your own rule.

I have nothing to spend them on currently. I probably will order something tomorrow however, as most expire on Sunday.

I called Shop Your Way support but they redirected me to email support.  I ended up emailing the details of my three orders that were short, including PDFs of the emails.

They responded in about three hours and credited all the points.

All of these deals (except the BF preview sale which somehow doesn't seem to carry toys) are using coupons - coupon codes will be in your mailbox. I've found it difficult to get the extra 10% off coupon to stick properly - had to reload it a few times already as I am playing around with carts.

Also discovered that sometimes you can get a coupon to apply if you keep on adding it using the coupon code, even if the first time it doesn't apply. Be warned however, adding the same coupon multiple times leads to all sorts of non-deterministic behavior on KMart.com, including applying a random different coupon, applying coupons without a "remove" option and other fun stuff.

Change the quantity back to 1 and it is not out of stock. Been seeing this on KMart.com the last few days. I think it's their way of enforcing limit 1.

Did you order for shipping or for local store pickup?

I thought these VIP Cyberdays extra 10% can be used for multiple purchases up to $150... but looks like one time use.

Have you tried re-adding the coupon from the promotional email?

I wonder if you have to wait for an order to go through (shipped or processed) first before it can be reused.

Not as great as some of the others, but I found a Brick Bounty one town over. Used $20 in points to get it down to $80, and a $20 back on points when you spend $60 coupon. There was a bonus $10 in points awarded so I got $30 in points back on the $80 purchase.

Came home from school and practice to seven packages from Kmart. All of the sets where in good condition except for one Obi Wan Jedi interceptor, which was completely pancaked. With surprise points I can technically get $37-38 off any purchase of $60+, so I may pick up some stuff at Kmart when I'm in the area this weekend (also to exchange for a non pancaked OWJI).

 

Has anyone noticed if those selected $25 SW sets are on sale in store? I keep getting emails about a $19.99 sale on those items, but they are $20.58+ online. 

Also noticed that I only have $1934 more to go to VIP silver. To be honest this is probably the most I've ever spent investing into Lego, as a high schooler I have never really had sufficient capital to invest in more that say three of each set. But with record sales for me I now have enough $ to both invest and save for the future. Lots of folks on here keep forecasting the end of Lego investing, the game may be changing but if you play it right in my view the future is bright.

Don't believe those numbers. KMart will promote you when they believe you're worthy (or so I tell myself). Check my post a couple of pages back - I spend $1.5k (pre discount) at KMart this year and got promoted to VIP Gold last week, even though the threshold for that level is waaay higher ($3.5k I believe).

EDIT: Perhaps they have a secret "# of transactions" criteria somewhere because I've been buying baseplates like a madman for $4 or less each

Prices differ online and in store.  It's almost always cheaper to buy something online for in store pickup than to actually buy it in store.

Hey you young whipper snapper. Yes the $19.99 price for the three Star Wars sets are good in store and you get all of the same point bonuses in store as well. I've been using the $5 off $35 coupon to pick them up two at a time.
