I have been a customer of a store that went bankrupt twice, had points in both cases and the bankruptcy court honored them. Seems to be the norm, but there may not be any guarantees.

There cannot be a buyer 351 - the items go OOS and unavailable when the 350th one is sold.
How do you know the item will go OOS? Not trying to start a debate here, but I do not trust Sears has a good system that can report accurate inventory. Look at that mess about ordering large wrenches a few months ago. It was OOS but people can keep ordering.
I am considering replacing my old mower, but I am not buyer if not guaranteed getting points.

That's how it worked previous weeks - 350th person checks out and the item immediately goes OOS.
Simple enough to confirm, if you are concerned about not getting the item, just order the item and see if you get the ready for pickup email in a few minutes. The points show at checkout, so if you don't see the points, don't check out.
Little risk of successfully placing an order and not getting the points, bigger risk of missing out on the item because it goes OOS. I'm surprised the lawn mower is not OOS yet, has to be getting close.
This reminds me that it's been about a year since you claimed Sears is opening a brand new full line store, but still have not shared the address for that new store.
A new Sears store?
Or do you mean one of those small franchise stores like Sears Hometown or Sears Hardware?
I just bought the gas trimmer edger 2cycle, I am just waiting for instore pickup to process. I don’t see my points yet but I figure after I sign at the store for the pickup it will go through. $121 with three month protection, $98+ back in points.

If you want to try the in-vehicle pickup offer with the Sears phone app, but not spend too much over $10:
Craftsman 13 in. & 18 in. Tool Bag Combo $10.59
"Members get $10 CASHBACK in points towards your next purchase when you spend $10 or more on an in-vehicle pick up purchase. Order must be picked up within 30 days from date of order. Limit one offer per member. Points credit to account 48 hours after in-vehicle pick up is completed and are valid for 14-days."

Strange to hear that. Usually gift cards & rewards are the first thing approved to be written off the books in bankruptcy.

Sure did, you just missed it.

Very dependent on how they are structured. Gift cards are almost never written off, but depending on how the rewards are structured they may or may not be. SYWR are unlikely to be written off because of how they are structured.
We can discuss further in the discussion thread if anyone wants, let's get back to deals before someone complains.
Do you want to share? I searched and did not find your post. Have a long trip planned for summer, I may want to visit this new store

The PartsDirect site ***** on inventory count, but in general Sears.com is pretty good about inventory numbers, even if you don't see them.
Like I can look up an item and if it shows in-stock for local pickup at my HomeTown store, I can go to the HomeTown site and it will generally show my the exact # in stock. If it's the last item and I buy it, then the Sears.com site instantly changes removing my store as a pickup today...

I picked up my one handed clamps today. Definitely made in Slovikia. Unfortunately one was bent so the Hometown store is ordering another one.

LOL, I was there today too picking up my C3 Jigsaw!
I saw they had one of those fancy clamps like: http://www.sears.com/craftsman-12-in-bar-clamp/p-00931482000P sitting on the table between all the tools...

Thanks again — this was well packed for shipment. Excellent deal for $100 w/ $50 in points.
In contrast the $100 Sandusky taupe cabinet in the background was delivered with only honeycomb cardboard covering the corners — the second one I had ordered was totalled by UPS.

That is an 18" clamp on the table. I got the 24" clamps. Have you tried your new jig saw?
Well, look at that, Doohickey! Someone managed to get the NewAge cabinet deal to ship after all!
I think you're the first to report your order wasn't cancelled.Here's a neat old photo of a Sears tool department from the 1950s, that somebody in the Habitat ReStore thread shared this evening, I thought some of you might like to see it.

Wow I would love to have the chance to walk through that.
Theres so much america in that picture. If I were to walk into that I think my brain and wallet would explode. Funny it looks like harbor freight does now. Those men back then didn't know how good they had it.

Yeah, I think the hammer section is the only part of that photo still mostly comparable today.

Looks like a DeWalt RAS in the background too... Guess Sears has been selling DeWalt forever... lol.

All that stuff is available used on Craigslist, ebay, etc... and I love buying and cleaning it up, most don't even need a full rebuild and even then is still around half the price of new and let's just say twice as well built.

Down to the knotty pine half walls and no storage above the displays!

Not yet, just pulled it out of the box. The rubber is kind of sticky or something? I think it must be the release coating never got cleaned off... Overall it's pretty nifty looking, even has a little storage for extra blades and the hex keys...
They don't include an edge guide, and of course the part that is listed in the manual shows DISCONTINUED on the parts website... *rolleyes*
I have a few sitting in a box, hopefully one will fit...

I haven't seen a hammer selection like that in a Sears store in a very long time.
Not as numerous, but there are still a decent amount of varieties (at least at my store), still almost all US-made (I believe Vaughan was making them for Craftsman back then too?), and still being periodically restocked (from the same US mfr) instead of just selling off the last of them. Can't say the same for most other tools sections in Sears these days.

I saw this in the store, seems kind of gimmicky and pricey...

Hometown store "hammer section"... at least the wooden handle ones are USA...
Obviously your mileage will vary a lot more at the Hometown stores. There are 32 different models of hammers (and a couple sizes of handles) in stock at my corporate store according to sears.com, all hanging on pegs on the wall.

So now I have points pending well into 2019 after that gas trimmer purchase yesterday, my points log looks crazy. Almost $9 to start every month paired with win it earnings and cashback on clearance purchases instore I think this will work out nicely as long as it lasts.

Our corporate store in Fayetteville, didn't have much better selection the last few years it was in business.
It is nice how they go ahead and add all the monthly payouts up-front as pending, so you can see promptly that it worked.
Yeah and now I have a years worth of unusable points nagging at me lol.

It has been a while since I had no free cash offers. Anyone else have all theirs gone?

Yeah all mine have slowly been expiring... Last couple purchases never yielded any new ones either...
I think I still have a few small things on the bottom of my email receipts that use codes though.

The "dried up offers" are the result of Sears grasping their last breaths..... Looks like the end is here.

Curious why are you think that, seems contrary to the industry reports, and unrelated to the "dried up" offers, which BTW are not "dried up", at least for me.
