I call BS, I've tried that form numerous times...It doesn't do ****...
Xtra games misbehaving this morning. Noticed the spin counts (3 of 6, etc.) randomly bouncing around. After going through all the games a couple time most of them now show “Get Started.”
Getting nearly no wins too, but that’s not exactly news.
Getting nearly no wins too, but that’s not exactly news.
Just won $5 in the bonus game. After going for months with no weekly sweeps emails, and only winning pennies in the games, it seems that my drought is over. I won a buck yesterday and a few days ago, and I have received emails the past 2 weeks. I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that I stopped in a physical store and made a purchase at the register. I stopped playing for a while, because it was futile.

My games just reset/restarted at zero again like it was a new day.
Also has anyone had luck getting stuff shipped to store since the bankruptcy all my stuff is processing, all different brands and companies.

There's no rhyme or reason to it... I made multiple in-store purchases in October but still got skipped on Sweeps Weekly emails a couple times.
Congrats on the win.
Nothing but small change for me in over a week now.What exactly did you order and how long ago?
No problem for me - I have bought both Craftsman and non-Craftsman. Mine were shipped to local hometown store if that make any difference. I have also bought things shipped to my house.
My games do not get restarted.

5/16 Socket
Ratcheting tap wrench
Small hose pinch pliers
All estimated Nov 1 arrival. I knew the hose pinch were risky, still say close to 400 available. I have had stuff mailed directly to me and stock pickup items were no problem.
Edit, The store is on the Nov 15 decision list, maybe that is the problem, I figured I was safe with the Nov 1 expected arrival date.

Hrm. Usually a store doesn't have any problem accepting ship-to-store orders until it actually begins liquidation - and at that point, it disappears from the locations available for ship-to-store on new orders, but I think older slow orders can still arrive for pickup until the store completely shuts down. Not sure what's going on for you, hope it doesn't hit me too.
Oh, have you tried checking your SYW order history for UPS tracking numbers? It's possible that your packages arrived at your store, but the back-room people forgot to check them in.

I have and their is no tracking but that is not unusual in my experience, say 50/50. They guys in the backroom are great and usually give me my stuff whether it is in the computer or not. Maybe I just got unlucky with those three items.

Showing full price now. Sorry I missed it. Is this something that drops often and I should be on the look out for it?
Xtra games still not fixed for me, playing on the SYW website or the WinIt app on iPad. Spin counts totally random. Skipping the Winterize game seems to help.
Edit: Freqent refresh also seems to reset to correct spin count, except for Winterize.

Same. Thanks for the tip on skipping winterize, definitely helps.
JackVegas I found that at random no idea if the prices moves around a lot. Thanks 7Avalon7.

Looks like they took Winterized out of rotation for now.
Only took over a day and a half. Wonder if they’ve lost some IT staff?
And Xtra is still messed up. Spin counts remain random.

Yeah, really annoying glitch. Was going on some yesterday but seems to be worse today.

Still messed up.
I wonder if those 8 count games(Thankful is the other one) disrupted it.

I don't think so, FWIW. We've had games with differing play counts before without this happening, and I think Thankful (and Winterized) started before this problem started. They just coincidentally screwed up the Winterized game setup and then screwed up the whole back-end play tracking. I think it's more likely related to the recent games with some social/video plays that failed to grey out when you'd reached their limits, like they were trying to fix that problem and made the whole thing worse instead.
BTW, they removed Winterized (the one you could never get past 1 out of the 8 plays on) entirely this evening for 'maintenance'.

So I was so excited when I won $2 this morning, then I won $3 this afternoon, to only see $0.01 listed in my account on the WinIt app in the afternoon. I log into SYW, and see someone bought $134 in soap at a Kmart in California. All forking Dove soap! How dirty is this person. And the price she paid for them, she really could have made the money go a lot further by getting that **** at Walmart & spending elsewhere in-store.
I called the store, and they will review footage... tomorrow. Probably nothing they can do, but I have to think it was an employee or something to find that information.

Just one purchase? I thought the PIN is required when using a member phone number to redeem over $25 in points.

It is. I never did change it from when the account was set up, which by default was your zip. So that's why I thought only someone local would potentially guess the right combination of member phone & location of zip, until I found out it was Cali. That's why I can only imagine now it was an employee of some sort, that was able to look at my address from my phone.
Can't even login in now, says it is suspended, but from me calling. The rep I talked with keep apologizing because she had to ask what I looked like. Uggh, 6ft, short black hair, Caucasian. She must not have understand what I said or missed it, but then asked if I was white American? Lol. And then kept apologizing because she then asked if I was fat or not. Umm, I'm not skinny. She was fun to talk to.

Unfortunately, I doubt anyone will bother to really review any CCT from the store, and if they do, and they see someone buying a **** ton of soap, what are they going to do? If it was an employee, they would probably have someone else make the purchase, they know there is surveillance.
Can you return items that you earned the points on?
Sorry this happened! I'm using your post to remind myself not to accumulate any points in my account!

They are supposed to require the pin, however I've made large points redemptions and the cashier just presses something on their screen and it bypasses it....As for them reviewing CCTV footage, they typically will and will even reissue the points. When it happened to me I had to send a redacted image of an ID card to show what I looked like, and I got my points back in about 4 days.
Yep, unfortunately 'required' is not so much, though it's a good idea to change your PIN to something less guessable anyway just in case. This kind of theft has happened to several people on SD over the years too, but not recently. It's a terrible situation but at least Sears should make it right.
I won 2 $2 games on Thursday myself, first wins above 25 cents since a week and a half ago.
Oh, and reminder that today Fri 11/9 is the last day to use this week's Sweeps Weekly freecash surprise points, for those who received it.
...and there's a new store closure list out.

SYW is still buggy this morning.
Another new short term Xtra game, Host with the Most; ends November 16. Looks like Winterize game might be gone for good.
Spin totals on Xtra games still occasionally showing random totals this morning. Refresh usually corrects it.

About the newest closing store list (completely agree that the 3 PR stores, including Kmart's largest store in the Island [the Caguas Catalinas one at 165K sq. ft., a former Super K] may already have another store ready to move in) it is peculiar that two of them (the ones in Caguas Catalinas and San Patricio within San Juan Metro) were 2/3 announced to be sold to Target just before Vulture Eddie bought Sears (that in fact stopped the deal).
Maybe Target (where's the Bullseye emoji when you need it?) is already "on the prowl" to buy SHLD stores through the Court "on the cheap" (that would be anywhere from 10-25 stores, otherwise it doesn't make sense), or as we say locally "a precios de pescado abombado"
(at rotten fish prices).
Or somebody has an idea who's the "lucky pard"...

Were those "large points redemptions" at Kmart?
It was a Sears cashier that told me that she cannot use the PIN bypass method to redeem over $25 in points. I'll have to try asking a different cashier next time I stop by there.I use a member card with a barcode that can be scanned, so the PIN is not required for any amount.
