76045 Kryptonite Interception would be my guess

Yeah I guess either that or the Riddler car from the movie. Rooting for the Riddler although we don't have either of them for personal build yet.

I will say, if this is how they fulfill their online orders, it makes a lot more sense why I have received all sorts of different wacky packing methods.

I got my first "shipping" bag from Kmart. I'm both upset and feel like I'm officially in the club

Welcome to the club! Kmart shipping is like that trouble making friend that you put up with because they have such a fun, goofy personality.

I laughed hard at this, and it is just perfect.

I kind of see it like that friend that you don't really like but you still hang out with because he is so rich that you always get free (or almost free) stuff from

If you want guaranteed pristine boxes from KMart, order for pickup in a Sears store. Limited selection, but it arrives in great shape (and in a see-through plastic baggie).

Again folks, if you don't have a personal shopper I highly suggest you get one!

Not only did mine send us another round of $5 back on $25 coupons, but I actually won a $25 GC from her Instagram giveaway!  Time for some free Lego!

I'm hoping you have a backup business plan for when Sears folds in the next few months You need to find yourself a new Sugardaddy

Didn't someone say something similar last year and the year before???  

It may be crippled but it is not dead (yet)

Kmart/Sears actually did go out of business. SYW is their liquidation plan disguised as a rewards program. Explains everything.

For anyone patient (or brave) enough that held off on using your $15 off $45 coupons; Kmart marked down more sets today. Some City sets, Nexo crap, creator, batman, etc...

I've used a few coupons today... Going to use the rest tomorrow. Maybe they'll discount a few more sets, or better yet, add new themes. (I can hope!)

Looks like Kmart changed some of their cart/order processing screens making it a little more difficult to see what surprise points you are earning right before you place the order.  Anyone able to find that information on the final place order screen?  It used to show up when you clicked "see point details".

I didn't look too deep into it but for now, I was able to change my payment method, address, or any other change to the order and it reverted back to the original pages instead of the updated ones.

Thanks but I couldn't get this to work.  I'm now noticing coupons are still applying when I redeem points that lower the amount below the minimum coupon purchase.  I don't think this used to be the case.  For example, if you had a $10 off $50 but you redeemed enough points to drop it below $50, the coupon wouldn't work anymore.  This is either a policy change or the checkout screen is buggy.

Never had that happen before. Points are taken off of the subtotal (after coupons) and don't affect coupons (except points back ones). So if you use a $10/50 and $10 in points you will get $20 off no matter if the total drops below $50.

Considering I'm currently getting 75% off my stuff from Kmart, that probably is a good idea. I have plenty of clearance honeyholes near me however, so I could probably go back to tapping those.

I'm pretty sure that was the case for me, but maybe I was using a different type of coupon.

It really feels like playing roulette when you can't see how many surprise points you are eligible to earn right before you click place order...especially when you are redeeming points so cancelling an order isn't an option worth pursuing.

Sounds like a case of "take screenshots along the way" and frequent calls to SYW Rewards Customer Service .... PITA

Rolled the dice and it paid off.  Order confirm screen showed the points I was expecting.

Keep the faith, folks ... Coupon #6 awarded.

[micbelt]

Purchased a gift card for tru through raise via shopyourway. Got an additional $10 in points because I spent over $25. Between the points, raise discount and the promo code raise had yesterday I got the $50 gc for roughly $31.

Can you lend us any advice on how to get a good one?  Mine has never responded to my messages once and has never sent me anything or helped in any way.  I figured that's just how they treat their "Platinum VIP (lol)" clientele.

It really depends on the kind of person each one is. Mine answers every question that I ask and is always sending me random coupons and stuff. She's amazing, so amazing in fact that SYW closed down her sign up link because she was getting too many clients.

My best suggestion is to look around Instagram and see their different pages, most of them post under #syw, #sywr, #kmartdeals or #shopyourway. Find one that posts a lot and ask him/ her why you should sign up with them. If you like what you hear, I would make the switch.

kmart clearance was still 20% off through 3/25 when i checked today
