Keep an eye on your inbox - $5 SYWR points

[pendragon1998]

Ordinarily, I wouldn't post a note about free SYWR points, because people seem to get them at varying times; if, say, I got some today, you might not for a few weeks.

However, we have two SYWR accounts, and both of them got emails with the subject, "A thank-you gift for being a member in 2013!". Both contained $5 in points, so I am assuming most or all members got the email as well. So FYI, you might want to check your inbox if you usually ignore SYWR emails.

For -$5, you can pick up a variety of Channellocks for around $10-$11. Some Craftsman Pro screwdriver singles drop to $2-$3 (I used periodic SYWR points over a few months to put together a full set of Cman Pro slotted and phillips for about $15-$20). Craftsman USA cold chisels and pin punches are anywhere from Free to $3.

Prices at Sears are currently somewhat inflated so they can offer fake 'discounts' for the after-Thanksgiving sales, so you might be better off holding on to the $5 for a couple of days, keeping in mind the expiration date.

I got that email to. Make sure to use them this week.

They expire Dec 11 2013

 

[Travisnd]

Damn, I got nothing!

 

[cubicle]

I got $7

 

[tjpavlov]

Got them and used them on a spark plug socket set that I have been needing for awhile. Thanks for the head's up. It has been a long time since they have given me any free points like this.

 

[dmeadow]

I got $3, stingy bastards.

 

[Ch3apsk8]

The date they pick to send out free point offers is the same for every member. Whether or not you will be actually be selected to receive a point offer and which type of offer varies.

Black Friday threw a curveball in the dates, but this week it's back to the normal Thursday to Wednesday period. However, they are calling it a 'gift'.

Thats all I got too.

 

[Super Sport]

My secondary account got $8...my primary one got nothing. I had a few things in my cart already, so this just sweetened the deal!

 

[Harry_Bahrrs]

Yay, I got $5 as well. Now off to justify buying a $50 dollar tool because I dont want my $5 in points to expire.

 

[GSteg]

Dumb question, but how the heck do you check? Do they automatically add to your points? As you can tell, I never really visit the reward site.

 

[nahudson]

I got 7 as well

 

[tater]

I think I have a problem

 

[PA Woody]

Thanks, Tater, for making me feel so much better about my measly $866 I've spent on tools in the last 2 months.
In fact, I think maybe I should go do a little more tool shopping now.

 

[GSteg]

I don't think I could ever spend that much on Sears.

 

[unslow1]

Tater I think you do. What the heck did you buy? I've never spent more than $2000 there in one year. That was with the stainless toolbox. That looks like when I checked my Advance Auto Parts yearly total. It was $10,800 and I'm not a business. Two 6-71 blowers skewed that a bit.

 

[tater]

Lol lots of appliances for family members 3 41" cabinets and ALOT of tool sets and loose tools haha a couple of push mowers. All on clearance of course

 

[rv245]

Damn Tater, that's a bunch of points. I too purchased a SS Frig and washer & dryer for you place up northern lower Michigan. Just seem to use my points as soon as I get them.

 

[Galaxie]

I got my trial SYWR Max extended for another 3 months and $5.

 

[davesnothere]

I got the $5 emailoid also.

 

[mattmus4357]

Just used mine to buy the 8pc screwdriver set thinking for $4 I could handle the made in China set. Just picked it up and received a USA set! Even better!

 

[archirelic]

I've got 6 bucks in bonus points. That coupled with all the points accumulated from the three 26" boxes I recently purchased and some smaller items...puts this craftsman top box w/the Craftsman Club discount at about 200 even plus tax.

Very, very tempting...

No SYWR points for me. I have 6 points to use before 12-31

There is a coupon on the SYWR page for $100 and get $20 in points is someone buying enough.

The last time I got bonus points was twice last year before Xmas

I have yet to see any sign of Chinese Craftsman screwdrivers.

You can stack that $20 in points with the $10 off $100 coupon as well.

 

[lotsoftools]

I got $5 worth and ordered a socket for in-store pick up. I like to do it that way so I don't have to mess around in the store.

 

[mattmus4357]

That's good to know. I haven't bought any in a few years, just assumed they'd be China as well. I'm happy!

 

[MJB24]

I got the $5 as well. I only opened the account a year ago and I have only spent a few hundred dollars at Sears. Yet this is the 4th time in the last 6 months I have got $5. I have been just spending $6 or 7 each time on miscellaneous torx drivers and mini phillips screwdrivers and a few sockets.

 

[DSM21]

Damn with all the money I spent this year and they gave me no points....Tater you need to talk to your supervisor

 

[crazy5]

None for me this time

[Bill Ramsey]

Got the 5.

 

[pendragon1998]

Of course they would cancel my trial shop your way max free shipping right before Christmas.

 

[nyy845]

Sweet, I just looked a few threads down and got two accu-gage tire guages for free; I had exactly 5.98 in points with the $5 from today (I don't spend much at Sears).

[jmscollinsiii]

I got the $5 too. Thanks gor the heads up!

 

[captain14]

Just wondering who gets the free point. I use a credit card not sears to buy

Who uses cash or

a sears card. Do you get more points using their card?

 

[Harrison2]

I got $5 and put it towards some knipex side cutter for $22 and had $11 in previous points so was like $8 to pay, not gunna complain.

Right now up until christmas we are offering 10% back in points on purchases made with a sears card. On top of that they also offer 5% off the price when you use a sears card

 

[SMKS]

How do I go about spending my SYWR points?

I have money in points to spend, and I've had money in there for a long time, according to my history, but they haven't been spent or applied on my purchases. I accumulate more points, but I don't know how to spend them.

EDIT-
I think I figured it out. I guess I have to shop for items through the SYWR website to redeem my points?

 

[Harrison2]

if buying online there's a option at checkout or I store give them your phone number and say I'd like to redeem x amount of points on this purchase

 

[pendragon1998]

SMKS, when I buy online, I just login to my sears.com account and the SYWR points are automatically available (most of the time, sears.com is a real piece of ****). If you don't see your points, you might need to link your SYWR account to your sears.com account, but I couldn't tell you how to do that. My SYWR and sears logins are the same.
