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.

Thanks for the heads-up. No luck for me today but it runs till 3/15.

No luck for me on Win It Exclusive. I have not played the small games for a while, so I played all games yesterday to see if my luck has improved, won $0.10 :(

So how has everybody been doing lately? I generally do one purchase every two weeks. Last year, I would average about $15-20 in points for each two week period. When they cut things back, I was down to $3-5 at most every two weeks.

It seems like the numbers are turning in our favor. The last couple of times I've been closer to $8-9 in points accumulated over two weeks. How has everyone else been doing?

Same two week cycle. Two weeks ago was my best of the year so last week I was right at $20. So far this week about $1.50. I would say $4-7 every two weeks is the norm for me.

So far, it appears I was doing like $5-$7 max for 2 weeks for a little while there.

But then I started hitting some games finally after Dec/Jan losing virtually every single one.

So now it seems I can manage $7-$10 now which I guess isn't too bad. At $10, it's easy to get some Sears items with the $5/$15 App FREECASH.

I was about $15-$20/wk last year. I believe my average is slightly above $1/day.

Currently $3-$5 every two weeks sounds about right for me, probably less tbh. But I am not playing all the xtra games (I played some, but most days I do not).

I really need to go back hitting all of the games again like what I did last year, and try that for a few weeks to see how that goes.

Can you use the $5 off $15 multiple times? I figured that was a one time offer.

It's a weird one.

The wording, people thought originally that it was a one-time offer and so did CS.

But strangely they seem to have it programmed that any time you clear the App Data or reinstall the App, you can get the offer again as long as it isn't still active on your account.

Every once in a while it can say "Offer already issued" but typically a day after your last one's expiration or up to two weeks later, it ends up working again.

So nobody seems to know why it at first appears to be once but then works multiple times.

The app thing can be done every 8 days. On Android phones only though, apparently. Someone with an iPhone who was PMing me about it could never get it to work a second time.

On Anroid it's so much easier.

You can just hit "Clear Data" in App Settings.

On the iPhone, it makes you want to pull your hair out.

It can take many reinstalls and clearing of phone backups to ever get the banner showing again.

If you only have an iOS device, you're better off just installing something like Bluestacks Android Emulator on your PC and doing it through there.

Did almost all of the xtra games this am while sipping coffee + catching up on things online, got 5 cents + 50 cents from Win It! exclusive.

Not too bad...

Wow, down to two games in the Featured section, and one is expiring tonight.

This is the original SYW Sweeps section. I've liked that you can track the number of entries, and there is a Winners section for these games. So far, this is also the only section that can display the pink Doorbuster ribbons.

Yeah, "Featured" did dwindle down to almost nothing a couple months ago too, but then 'repopulated'. There was about a dozen running last month. We're overdue for some more of that repopulation again. ;)

I think it’s now been over a month since I got a Weekly email. Checked my settings: still signed to get all emails. Checked junk folder: noticed that the past couple weeks I haven’t received the emails that used to come for wins in the Xtra games (not that I’ve actually had many of such wins).

Only reason I checked was the faint hope SYW might add the consolation prizes back to the Weekly. Ahhhh.... the good ole days!

Well I guess one thing that hasn't changed since the BK was the winning in waves....:lol_hitti

I had a fun little ride with WWW and 2 other wins, but it looks like I'm back to $7 average for 2 weeks. Always seemed my luck with SYW was a good 2 weeks then slow for 3 months. :)

Luckily I have various items of varying price in my "Want List", so I can easily adjust my orders to more reflect my current points.

Congrats!

Seems like on GJ, SD, and FB seeing way more winners than before.

Even seen some report multiple weeks in a row wins.

Yeah, that was 2 weeks in a row for me winning the Weekly! Hadn't won in months before that.

But wait, there's more! It credited the win to me twice this time! :eek2: Should be able to buy something nice later this week. :thumbup:

And now I won a dollar in the Lucky Rainbow game too! Wow. Making up for my recent slow weeks.

Nice wins. Sounds like they decided I took enough wins and give the wins to you from now on.

That's an inside joke with my fellow family/friends SYW players.

Even though we all had periods of non-wins at the same time, it always seems none of us win at the same time period like it picks one of us then moves on to another. :lol_hitti

Thanks for posting the weekly spin. Although I didn't get the email, I won the spin last night! It's been a long time since that one paid out for me.

I've been doing this too long though. I'm really out of stuff that I want from Sears in the sub-$20 range.

There must be way less players now as it doesn't seem from the rules that the odds changed.

It seems I'm back to getting at least $1 on Mondays again.

Haven't had that happen in months and for months would lose every Monday or at least not getting a win for consecutive weeks.

No dollars for me today... still not back to what things used to be, I guess, aside from the occasional fluke. :dunno:

BTW, LOL at the slogan for the new "Tax Day" game... "What's better than a refund? OUR TAX DAY GAME!"... but the largest prize amount is $1. :lol_hitti I think most tax refunds have that beat. ;)

Anybody know what to do with the App $5/$15 when it randomly says "Offer already issued"?

Usually it says that if your current one is still active but it expired yesterday.

I know it goes away and works eventually but can't remember how long it takes.

It should be 8 days from the last time you activated it. Try again in a few hours maybe? Also, it has sometimes given me that error but immediately repeating the procedure got it to work the second time.

Tried it about 3 times but refuses.

Hopefully not the end because two folks over at SD claim it's been giving them that message. One stated for 2 weeks now.

Just for the heck of it, will have to give it a try on another device.

EDIT: Asked another user to try and got exact same message. So may be system or something. Guess only time will tell.

Just a small update, it may be the system possibly.

Even the KMart one refuses to work and I haven't used that one in months.

Uh oh....looks like the sale of Sears back to Fast Eddie might really not be done yet:

https://seekingalpha.com/amp/article/4247788-sale-sears-lampert-aint-yet-major-problems-developed

I'm not entirely sure, but I think this mess doesn't hurt the now-owned-by-TransformCo Sears at this point, it just means that the nearly-empty shell of the former Sears Holdings Co. is more empty than they originally intended. Bad for anyone still trying to get money out of that husk, but it doesn't sound like they can undo the sale that was consummated a month ago at this point.

Another small update: So far the App FREECASH is still giving the same error message to me and others for both Apps.

Guess maybe it was fun while it lasted.
