Just got two $8/45 surprise point offers loaded. Could be a nice stack with some of the hot buy items in circulation. Any suggestions?

 

[FM]

Spaceport was my go-to for a while, now it's Passenger Terminal.  You should be in around $53.  There's a lot of sets with a similar discount off RRP, but planes just do well.

Coupon #7 awarded. At this rate all of you who applied (all 10 of you) get to have one ... just be patient.

What's up SYW? Sweeps keep timing out/claiming there is a crowd, no WWW listed yet ... how am I going to get more points for FREE LEGO now???

[Phil B]

WWW is back, but the instant win part times out all the time for me, which is the only interesting part in WWW

UPDATE: Now they changed the Instant Win game and it works ... 5hrs left to collect the codes and wait for a DB

Perhaps, but doesn't seem to do anything for me. Screen goes grey, then gets back to the code entry screen as if nothing happened.

EDIT: Now it works, but boy is Sweeps temperamental today ... both on FF and Chrome, two different accounts, same issues.

yea @Phil B its been pretty finicky all day. second code is allegedly B1gspr1ng. I haven't tried it yet - hoping for a Doorbuster this evening.

Does anyone have experience with this offer?  It pops into my Droid toolbar from the SYW app.  I get it late at night /early morning when I put something into my SYW cart and then don't buy it.  I click on it and it takes me to a SYW homepage, but then there's no mention of the offer it again.  It's happened about 5 times in the past few weeks.  Sorry about the fuzzy image, it doesn't let you take a screen cap either.

Yes. I get spammed these offers all the time if I ever put something in my SYW cart without buying it. Like you, it never applies the 10% back in points when I try to redeem the offer and half the time, it classifies the Lego set as a Home item rather than a building set. It's another one of those WTF Kmart/Sears moments.

I'm sure you can hassle their customer service about it but I'd rather not waste my time with it. The time is better used exploiting their couponing and point systems.

I get those too all the time. IIRC the fine-print says that the coupon only works once per account. A little bit like my $15 back on $15 coupons - they only work once per account, but I've received 7 of them so far. You'd think it would be easy to program something to limit the issuance of so many coupons, but hey, it's KMart ....

I get those occasionally. They've worked sometimes and not other times. I usually just include it with my semi weekly email to SYW about missing points and stuff and they correct it. (Still missing 50K raise points )

And then we waited too long ... WWW disappeared from Sweeps just now, even though it says it still has 3hrs to go. I still have it open in one of my browsers but it says "Something has gone wrong" when I try to play it.

No www for me yesterday. Wasn't there every time I tried

I was able to do the first spin, but was unable to get the bonus codes to go through.  They were accepted, but a grey box would just show up and then close without actually doing anything.

I had that too ... but then a few minutes later it started working. Just like @legorunner I was holding back my last code to wait for a DB, but at 10pm EST I said "ok, I'm just going to take my $0.50 now" (as I had been burned once before by waiting too long and having the sweeps disappear on me due to "Technical Difficulties" with the overall Sweeps site) and then I noticed it had disappeared in one browser (even though I had checked it several minutes before and it was still there) and the one I still had open in my other browser showed what I posted last night. Bummer.

[exciter1]

I tried a few times, at different periods.  Hopefully they fix it.

[Darth_Raichu]

I tried several times between 11-11:30pm EST (my db was on a different sweep) and kept getting "too many people in line, try again" splash screen.  The sweep was working fine this morning and I got 5 cents (50 points) out of it

[exciter1]

Has anyone confirmed receiving 10k points 24 hours after a $50 purchase yet, online?

I got an email saying mine are scheduled to be added to my account on the 9th of April. I have about $160 worth of points pending right now, it is annoying

I'd like to be the first to point out, that is not 24 hours after purchase.

[zskid00]

How do I check my account for pending points?  Is this on the Kmart or SYW site?

[carini26]

Looks like they just added a bunch of the newer releases, all at RRP or slightly lower.  Would be great to combine with the points back promo.
