I keep getting an error saying that I've already tried for this product today.

Same here. I am using iPhone.

My account is showing the correct points when I log in from computer, but it is showing 0 in iPhone.

Two minutes left in this game and nothing in the app is working right now. It's worse than it was an hour ago.

And in the middle of the entire thing shutting down/malfunctioning, they start a new game “Moving On Up!” It doesn’t work either.

I got wrapped up in other stuff and missed my intended time to try again, thanks for letting me know I didn't miss anything. :p

Also not working for me....

I have points expiring tomorrow. Does that mean they expire tonight at midnight or tomorrow night?

Tomorrow. In the recent past they’ve usually fixed the major issues in a few hours or less. Good chance it will be back today

I think we can still use the points at Sears.com. I have expiring points tomorrow as well.

Yes you can still use points and freecash. I just used mine from the weekly sweeps.

Still says:

I think what they mean to says is "We broke the site big time... check back in a day or two..."

Xtra back up and paying out well

I have won 90% of the spins in the last five minutes. 50s and 100s, but adding up.

Seriously, this is a points bonanza. Still winning 80% of the time.

Video spins?

Many of the Xtra games have Bonus spins, one each for referrals to Facebook and Twitter and for watching a short video. After you’ve used each of these Bonus spins once per day for the max number of times (usually about 15 times) they disappear. The video spins, for me, have rarely won much so I often don’t play them.

The odds seem to be normalizing right now. But I'd say I got 30 wins in with about a 20 minute span. It will be interesting to see whether these points all post to the account.

Same. At one point I was winning nickel and dimes 8 out of 10 spins :lol_hitti

Now it is working like normal. I wonder if that was on purpose (we screw up the games, so here is some bonus easy wins) or not on purpose (someone is getting yelled at right now :()

Lol I haven't won anything now that they're back up but I did get a few spins in before the site went caput before for 0.85$ so I guess I can't complain much

I missed the temporary influx of wins earlier, #^&%. I was just glad it was working at all. No luck on the last 3 bonus/WW games of the day, but at least I got to try.

Yes... that happens when the sweeps go down... and you're one of the first ones to play when it comes back up. I've heard it's because the algorithm behind the games tries to space wins out throughout the day (or week or month or however long a particular sweeps runs)... and it's not reset when the sweeps comes back up... so there's essentially tries to "make up" for lost time.

A couple of years ago when that happened, I must have been one of the first people playing when it came back... and won $11 in about 20 spins (they had fewer games back then... but the payouts were bigger).

Mine just got posted. Won $3.2 from nickel and dimes :rocker:, and I still have a few left. I stopped when it normalized.

I've had enough lucky days recently that I could finally afford a Pliers Wrench at a time Sears.com is actually selling them! The 5" one, not-on-sale for $44.21, minus $5 off $35 tools coupon from Retailmenot (3rd or 4th time I've used one of those) since there wasn't a Sweeps Weekly offer this week. Hoping they'll do a 10% off everything day some time in the next 30 days so I can try to get a few more dollars back.

@Hexen @grtechguy you guys going to like plier wrench. I have both the big one (10" ?) and 5". I have use it to fix my kid's bike, plumbing stuffs, and other things around the house. From all of my knipex collections, they are the ones that got used most often.

I haven't won squat in the past two weeks... $3.93 is where I'm at...

I made a purchase on 8/22 buying a ~$20 ratchet with my points that were about to expire... I guess I made the mistake of not paying any OOP...

Unless you're trying to get an offer that requires spending a specific amount OOP, there is no benefit to OOP spending... it doesn't increase your wins and it doesn't increase your coupons (prime example, somebody on SD who recently bought a large appliance with hundreds of $ OOP but didn't get a single coupon, because they were already on the 'too frequent of a customer for Sears to care about anymore' no-coupons list), and it makes online order pickup slightly more annoying by having to provide the card you paid with (which at my store means typing in the full card # on the kiosk screen, because the card swipe reader has been broken for years).

I know they claim that, but the few times I've bought something 100% with points, afterwards my wins went totally in the hole... Normally I would get at least $10 a week from all the games...

It is what it is... can't complain about free money though...

This topic has come up many times before, it's coincidence. I rarely pay OOP. I have good days and bad days regardless. :)

Nice. :beer: The sizes are 5", 6", 7.25", 10", 12", and 16" :)eek:) IIRC. The top Pliers Wrench review on Amazon has a photo of them all lined up (plus the Cobra pliers):

Except the yesterday when I won a lot of nickel and dimes right after SYW come back online, in the past few weeks I am winning a lot less than usual.

I used to think that paying OOP may make a difference but do not think that is the case anymore.

If you look at the official rules, they have this blurb in capital letters:

NO PURCHASE OR PAYMENT OF ANY KIND IS NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN. A PURCHASE OR PAYMENT OF ANY KIND WILL NOT INCREASE YOUR CHANCES OF WINNING.
