Here ya go ^^^^^
Not me. I saw a few comments on SD from people who got it, but a lot of skip complaints too.
At least I won a dollar in the Win List spins today. Only thing that still has halfway-decent odds...
They'll take any ads that Google or other ad network wants to serve up based on your browsing history. (I haven't been getting Lowe's ads lately.) Like I talked about a few days ago, most of the ads are not specifically arranged by/for Sears, there are only a few direct sponsors.
So right now we have less Xtra games, and probably less chance to win (I think someone post about less winner per game a few days ago). In the past, over time I probably average ~$1/day, but lately it has been like $.30 or lower. Am I the only one seeing this? How is everyone's luck on playing Xtra?

My big winnings are usually only on Monday if that says anything. I use to get a little bummed if I missed a spin, but haven't worried about in a few weeks now.

Same about thirty cents on average. Have not won any of the dollar games since the odds changed a week ago or so.

Thanks! Hope it gets me 10 Freecash...
Sorry, but the only way to get $10 FreeCash from the Weekly this week is to get the (mostly) random email from Sears. It’s a sort of consolation prize that all email recipients get, but the amount and terms have varied a lot.
If you don’t get the email from Sears you can use the link I posted (link changes every week) to get one spin of the Weekly game, which awards $5 if you win.
Good Luck!
Yep, the Sweeps Weekly email offer only gets applied to your account by viewing your personal copy of the email. (If you receive the email but resist opening it right away, you can control when the offer gets added to your account if you have something else you want to use first.)
I had another day of negligible wins too... and I'm probably technically in the negatives today because I accidentally played one of the bonus games on my phone without WiFi, and it just had to be one with a video ad.
I missed a couple of games Tue afternoon, but nobody complained here or on SD, so I assume everything happened on schedule.
Wednesday expected game schedule:
12am-11:59pm CT (in 4hr [edit: 8hr] intervals) 4x+ tiny WWWed Xtra (recent changes in how this game works)
12am-11:59pm CT tiny bonus in app
11am-12pm CT $2 WW Xtra
2:30-3:30pm CT $3 WW Xtra
4-5pm CT $4 WW Xtra
5:30-6:30pm CT $1 WW Xtra
7-8pm CT $5 WW Xtra
Wild Wins Wed = GivingTHANKS
Update: Another change to how Wild Wins Wed works... now it's three games in 8hr intervals, instead of six games in 4hr intervals.

Congrats Jason.
The way WWW has actually been going the last few weeks under the 4-hour setup, I would almost always get the 3x$0.05 maximum possible wins from each round (excluding the grand prize $15 which I've never won), unless I miss a round. So I'd say this is closer to a $0.45 per active member cut, which with the way the rest of the games have been going lately, is going to put a relatively substantial dent in what little winning we can still get.

Yep, I am seriously considering quitting here. For me (others may disagree) the payout is starting to look like not worth my time and effort. I will still click on the weekly sweeps email, assuming I get them.
I am not like upset at SYW, they can do whatever they want to do. Their games their rules. I will always be grateful for the free items I got from them.
More in-store savings - text STUFFING to Sears for another $15 off $15!

Only 100 winners for the 7pm game. The odds are really terrible now!
Message I received in response: “Sears: Text TURKEY to get your offer. Recurring message, STOP2cancel”

Text “TURKEY” or "STUFFING" to 73277. If you have a closing Sears or no sears nearby or won’t use it please DM me the coupon code. Thank you in advance.

Post-layoff update apparently from an anonymous Sears HQ employee:
"They put SYW with Financial Services over at corporate. So they got rid of most SYW but gave the left over work to the people doing credit, gift card etc."

Unless things change, the payoffs are about to get worse. Only one of the current spin Xtra games, Winterize, is scheduled to last past November 28. Winterize appeared earlier this month but quickly developed problems and was pulled for maintenance.
Winterize was put back up as a new short term (less than a week is my recollection) game with $5,000 in prizes and expiring on November 19. On November 20 Winterize was put up once more, again with $5,000 in total prizes but now the prizes are stretched out 7 weeks, expiring on December 31. Prior to the Bankruptcy filing, typical Xtra games each lasted about 30 days and had about $25,000 in prizes.

Agreed! Putting things in perspective... a month ago, I was worried about losing all the points I had saved up from the various "Buy $$$, Get $$$" back deals. Instead, I didn't lose anything... and they've been honoring the points back deals on schedule.
If SWY fades away, as it appears to be doing... it's a much better ending than many of the alternatives.
I may not bother with the sweeps any more... but will keep an eye out for any short-term Freecash back deals, Freecash in the weekly sweeps e-mail... and be thankful for all of the free tools I got.

I really only do the WW games, weekly, and any of those hidden games when they popup. I don't waste my time doing all the XTRA spins anymore or even the instant sweeps unless I'm sitting at my computer bored... Sometimes I'll do the 10 spins on my phone if I'm in the library and fed up with sugar smash...
Another post-layoff update from an anonymous employee today: "I work in a call center that handles SYW inquiries. We were told this week our center is closing in stages. Shop Your Way will be closed down after the holidays or outsourced into something else. Our manager did not know."
Sounding more and more like that timeframe of shutting SYW down around the end of 2018, predicted based on a survey someone got several months ago, will happen regardless of what happens to the remaining stores. Get while the getting's still marginally good, I guess. Hopefully they will continue letting points-back installments play out until the whole company shuts down, just stop adding new offers.

Well someone important with some abilities is still there. They put the $133 in points back into my account that someone else used fraudulently. I just wish I could have used them on some of those stellar deals recently.
I'm guessing that is the US call center, that most don't talk to when calling in (I'm doubting an Asian call center employee would have posted that). I know 5+ years back when I was a "silver member" my calls were instantaneously connected to someone in Wisconsin, but then got hold music/ over seas call centers the subsequent years.
That is good to hear that they take care of you!
It's not too late!
Some things are back to full price or close to it, but I just checked a couple of the things I bought online last week at very low prices, and they have only gone up by 5-10%.brooktre

And International tool boxes (made in Canada) are still on sale with free shipping for over $399.
I did most of Thursday's small games while waiting in the checkout line at Kohl's for a freakin' hour and a half. 
(That was even after the store had been open for 5-6 hours already, and the line was no shorter by the time I finally left at nearly midnight. Let's just say there was only a couple people in front of me at Sears, before Kohl's. 
) Total wins: $0.35 earlier in the day, $0.35 while in line, $0.70 total. These days I guess anything over $0.50 is a good day?
No schedule changes Thu.

I don't recall, but I know the first round of it ran all four Fridays in October, so I would've expected this round to run at least four if not all five Fridays in November. Maybe it's just running late and will show up when the one guy left to take care of this gets to work in the morning?

Thanks for the code.
Got 150 points with it.
1000 points total on the spins plus 5000 for winning the sweeps weekly.
Good day today.
