You can bookmark it.

This link is used to redirect members to the active Welcome Center game. Last month it redirected to the February game, and now it's redirecting to the March game.

So, you should be able to use it in April to find the new game.

Oh thanks for the info. Didn't realize they kept using same link.

I normally access it via "My Sweeps" section on Mobile, but that way only shows the old game.

The $1 doorbuster for the first time in a calendar month that you play the Welcome Center game is back again. https://www.shopyourway.com/app/2/l/contests/WelcomeCenter , code is still personalshopper

It gives me a whoops something went wrong error message.

It gives me a whoops something went wrong error message. ��

It gave me a message that the code wasn't valid, or some such.

But, later when I went to my SYW account, it had given me $1.

They might have changed the code later in the day today, it has been one code per month so far IIRC, and that is last month's code. I haven't seen anybody share the new March code yet, will post if it happens. [Update: Last month's code is still working fine so far, 3 days in, so there was just some temporary glitch going on the other day.]

The doorbuster working even without a working code is great, that's all the money the vast majority of people are going to get out of this game anyway. (There's the one $500 grand prize, and just 3 $20 prizes per day, no small prizes.)

for the code, appreciate it

No schedule changes Fri. Won $0.25, plus the $1 doorbuster.

Saturday expected game schedule:

Tried it again this morning. Got same error message but when I tried it a second time it went through and opened game. Got the $1. So, if anyone else is having issues keep trying.

Wow, just noticed in Magic Club that someone finally won a prize from "Most Prizes".

They got a Craftsman 1/2" Drive Impact Wrench.

I always wondered if anyone actually won anything from that game....

Thanks for the code.

Got my $1.00 with no problems.

Won $5 on the Sweeps Weekly too.

A year or two ago, someone on garagejournal won something there too. I think it was a mechanic's creeper. Huge waste of time for almost everyone since it awards so few prizes and no smaller points prizes, but if you get bored, give it a shot I guess.

Anybody know, when an item says on Sears/KMart, unavailable for shipping, how do you tell if it's just was "sold out" for the day?

I noticed some items will say Shipping Available one minute then around 7PM EST, they mysteriously will claim Store Pickup only. Then after 12AM CST, they magically are shippable again.

Other items seem to always say Shipping Unavailable.

I haven't noticed that on my own items, I dunno. (When things I look at have gone OOS in the warehouse, I think it's always been for real, lasts for weeks or months or forever.) If it's things that are available in stores, they wouldn't be SAS items, otherwise that would have been my guess. Sounds like all you can do is remember to check back the next morning before removing an item from your wish list.

Partly my fault for losing track of time last night and barely attempting any games beyond the 'big 3' on Saturday, but I won nothing at all. No schedule changes.

Sunday expected game schedule:

Nah, was a Wi-Fi Router that I noticed could have gotten a nice PM from Wal-Mart $79.99 to $21.95 but it says Store Pickup only today also.

Chat acted like I can call and get the store to ship it possibly, but no clue if my PS or the store would be willing to do that or not.

They also have an older router capable of PMing with Wal-Mart but it's an older one with older features.

Guess may have to go with that one though to dump my points and could use a backup router as mine is getting up in age somewhat.

Guess can't really go wrong with either as both would be completly covered by points and strangely the older does get better reviews than the newer one.

Unless you have the latest high-end WiFi hardware in all your computers/smartphones/etc to support the fastest speeds of the newer router, you probably wouldn't benefit from the newer one anyway.

Yea, guess I'll see what happens.

They are 3 routers total right now.

The AC1200 which refuses to ship, an AC750 which places are virtually all OOS or same or barely lower price on except Amazon, and then the N600 which is at Wal-Mart.

Guess I'll see what my PS says, she may be willing to PM Amazon but not sure. She doesn't seem ultra stiff on the exact rules like chat is.

Can't really beat the deal for the N600 either though.

Wow, I just won the Weekly $5! I don't even remember how many months it's been!

 

[tabs]

congrats! did you play it at 2am?

 

[Hexen]

congrats! did you play it at 2am [ET]?

Yeah, done it at similar times plenty of other weeks without winning though.

Update: Won a $1 today too!

 

[RedPenguin]

Just to give a small update just in case anybody was wondering....

Even though the PSes seem much more friendly and less strict with PMs, they definitely refused the Amazon match.

I thought maybe since they aren't as strict and more personal they'd let it slide but guess not.

Looks like electronics are fun to get at Sears & KMart because it seems Sears & KMart like to sell stuff that is older and most if not all other B&M stores have already cleared out via clearance or just sold out. They sell them at prices like it's brand new stuff though.

Though luckily most of the stuff is not so old that if you have enough points to cover it that it's not worth getting them.

Wow this is interesting. Wife and I won $1 each. Would be nice if we start getting points again like last year I may try taking all of the games again like last year.

 

[RedPenguin]

Does seem like the odds are a tad better.

I lost today but another dude I know got 2 wins today and I think I won last week.

So not sure if just better odds or just less players.

I got 30 cents from two rounds of WWW. I played all of the Xtra, except a few Facebook and Twitter since I am curious if the chance of winning has improved, and got nothing

I think I am going to go back to skipping all of the small Xtra games.

Lately myself and a family member have been hitting a few 500 pts wins on XTRA lately. So frustrating most of the time but the 500s are nice compared to normal.

Interesting... just notice that I have freecash offer $50 off $500 and $10 off $100.

Yeah, I've heard a number of people receiving those amounts in the past couple days. I don't have any, but that's okay since I'd never be able to spend that much anyway.

Edit: Both offers appeared as soon as I went to the Sears website for the first time in several days.

 

[RedPenguin]

Interesting... just notice that I have freecash offer $50 of $500 and $10 of $100.

I seen some others getting these offers.

Had to laugh a little as for a split second I thought seeing $10 that possibly it was one of those old $10 off $10s or similar that they used to give people for Sears.

Then I seen $10 off $100 and was like "Darn You!".

I am only $3.59 away from a Sears Order and will be using the $5/$15 from the App anyway but $10/$10 would have immediately covered my order.

 

[RedPenguin]

Just to let folks know there is a Win It Exclusive game in XTRA.

Looks like top prize is $1.

Silly thing is though, once you get one prize, you are done.
