Amazon, and all the other random online retailers whose ads show up in SYW, aren't intentionally specifically sponsoring SYW from what I can tell, just participating in generic ad networks e.g. Google's. The ones that are in direct sponsorship agreements with SYW, that likely at least cover the cost of everything won in 'their' games and possibly more, are companies like FuboTV, Earnin, Gasbuddy, Uber, there's been some from Mattel in the past, probably some others I don't recall too. They do occasionally just have videos promoting SYW instead of an outside sponsor, and then of course there are the Kenmore videos (treated as a separate company spending its marketing budget, even though they're owned by the same parent company).
I know you were looking at WW games, but for others looking at odds remember that since Halloween the new Extra games have all had various short durations, from 5 to 8 days. For example, the Fantasy Friday game is only for 5 Fridays with total prizes of $5,000. Before the Bankruptcy nearly all Xtra games were for 30 or 31 days with about $25,000 in total prizes. Sometimes those values included the full list price of merchandise prizes.
I've already played 18 times on some of Saturday's games (was trying to get more points before another small order), and haven't won a cent. 
No schedule changes Fri.
Saturday expected game schedule:
1-7pm CT tiny bonus in app
2-3pm CT $4 WW Xtra
7-8pm CT $5 WW Xtra

I got the text reply that I got FreeCash, but after 10 minutes nothing has shown up. Checked at SYW. The space before Start is now in the text message, but the link just takes me to the Coupon Center at Sears.com. Only coupon is the $35 off $300.
If you got a coupon center link, then that's the 'we don't want to give you the offer' diss, sadly. (And it's a different message template than the one where I had the missing space, anyway.) I have gotten that for months, so I thought this offer wasn't going to do that for anybody if it didn't do it for me, but apparently not.

I received a message of "we are experiencing a delay, but will provide your offer soon." I read soon as never, in order for me to believe it

No corporate owned sears / kmart near me.... Wish it was good for online too...

I did get the coupon link, but the text message says “You have $0.98 in points but we’re giving you more FREECASH in points!” Also, the Black Friday ad doesn’t appear to say the FreeCash is random.
I’ll give Chat a try.
Give the text another try tomorrow morning, I think they might have done something to shut down the premature awarding of it today. The link I received when it was working went to a page that only had the fine print for this specific offer on it.

I've heard that, yes. Hours may vary (late afternoon / evening), you should probably call your local store when they open Sunday morning to verify what their times are.
Got the Weekly email. Lost the game but consolation is $10 FreeCash, expires Black Friday, 11/23.
Here’s the link to the game:

At least I was able to get the $15 in-store text thing. I'll see if the online mega-sale prices are still in effect when the stores open today, so I can get them to price-match the website in-store... that is, if I can figure out something else I want that's part of the sale that I didn't already acquire and is still in-stock locally!

no email for me either. and thats after ordering a few hundred from sears this week, even if there wasnt much OOP. oh sears, youre so frustrating
but im going to a hometown store in a bit to pick up a handful of items ive been sending there. hopefully the 15/15 gravy offer works there. that might make me feel a little better

Unfortunately, there's no such thing as freecash for Hometown or Outlet stores.
Plus, the local Hometown store owner hate customers using SYW points, because they claim they do not get reimbursed for that amount.

All I have ever used are points at mine. I don't think they mind as much if they are items that are bought come Sears corporate stock, and the points are passed on to pay for their inventory. But if the items come from another channel, I could see Sears corporate dragging their feet or minimally compensating for those items.
"GRAVY" does not get you the $15 offer, you want "TURKEY" for that. And like I said when I posted about the texting thing yesterday, it's for non-closing corporate stores only, not the franchise stores, sorry.
yeah, def a no go on the hometown. i thought id read it wouldn't work there, but read the details in my SYW acct and it didnt mention it so figured id give it a go
and id already texted both gravy and turkey and got the same $15 offer from both, we just dont have any non-closing corporate sears anywhere close to here for me to use them on

2:00 game still late.
My first thought was about the recent SYW layoffs.
Yep, but things have kept going for several days already, the layoffs happened last Thursday.
Did the 2:00 game ever appear? I couldn’t find it at 2:55 either
i got that one as well, but maybe the turkey just double texted me then? since theyre both from the same # its hard to say, but i def got the link twice
Nope, never showed.
Let's see if the 7pm one shows up... hopefully it was just a glitch with that one game, because if the whole 1hr-game-release system is broken down, there probably isn't anyone left who knows how to fix it.XJPat

Yep, it was a loss (as usual now), but glad to see it's not completely broken yet.

I did the text again on Sunday (different day, same result) but I wasn't able to contact Chat until this morning. Rep was very polite and helpful; added the points for me.
