[yrly]

$.65 for me. Found a few cheap deals for pickup so every cent counts.

 

[RedPenguin]

Wow, the system must be getting laggy even before WWW starts.

Fellow user won $1 from XTra yesterday afternoon and it's still not showing up yet.

It seemed like the points system was behaving for a while too.....

 

[RedPenguin]

Wow SYW finally asked me a question again that the answer of "Maybe" makes some sense.

"Do you have any children?""Yes, No, Maybe".

I know of some guys who would have to answer Maybe....

 

[Hexen]

Disappointing-for-a-Wednesday $0.55 total. All from WWWed and WL, not one lousy nickel from everything else.

1-3pm CT $3 bonus in app
2-3pm CT $2 WW Xtra
4-5:30pm CT $2 bonus in app

I think it has been a long time that I actually got more than you @Hexen. 60 cents total.

 

[upgrading]

WWW was unexciting and today I got a huge .05.

A $0.10 WWWed win that got delayed showed up on Thursday - and the SYW points history actually tells me it was a delayed win, which I don't recall seeing happen before (when the massive multi-day delay happened a few months ago, I had to guess based on the points values):

"Oct 17, 2019
Sweeps Points - Shop Your Way Sweeps Award - (From your transaction on Oct 16, 2019)"

So it looks like I ended up with $0.50 total today, but really it should've been $0.65 on Wed and $0.40 on Thu. One nickel in an Xtra game and the rest from WL again.


Friday expected game schedule:
11am-12pm CT $3 bonus in app
2-3pm CT $2 WW Xtra
3-4:30pm CT $4 bonus in app
6:30-9pm CT $5 bonus in app
7-8pm CT $5 WW Xtra

Interesting. Can you tell at all if those points are giving you 14-day from the 17th or are they actually starting from the 16th?

It seemed all my WWW's showed up on Wed but I sometimes just play them in one sitting if I don't feel like spacing it out.

Today, got a random $0.50 which I wasn't expecting as haven't seen one in a while. Only made the total $0.75 though.

Exp date is always from the day they show up. Looks like it still is - I have $0.50 expiring on the 31st.

 

[Hexen]

Friday I got $0.25 in nickels, plus I finally won a $0.50 again, so $0.75 total.

Saturday expected game schedule:
1-7pm CT tiny bonus in app
2-3pm CT $4 WW Xtra
7-8pm CT $5 WW Xtra

 

[RedPenguin]

Was surprised today to get a $1 from an XTra spin....

I was mindlessly spinning and basically giving up but only had like 5 spins left of the extra spins.

I was pressing Continue so quickly after each loss that I didn't even get my typical screenshot of it, even though they say screenshots can't prove a win anyway.

$1.25 for the day.

Yeah, I don't bother with screenshots most of the time, just pause playing long enough to see the win amount added to my balance on the larger amounts.

I do get a tad concerned about these $0.50 and $1 wins sometimes though.

Luckily for me it added immediately and it usually does, but I know another person waiting since Tue for their XTra $1.

It's like most wins like to show immediately then some like to be extremely stubborn.

Funny thing is the same person had $5 take like 6 days to show, so I guess some accounts deal with it more.

 

[Hexen]

$0.25 for Sat here. All WL nickels, despite slogging through all the Xtras again.

Sunday expected game schedule:
1-7pm CT tiny bonus in app
2-3pm CT $4 WW Xtra

Same here, $0.35 in only WL nickles for Sun.

XTra was entirely all losses.

I guess I got my payback for getting a decent amount yesterday.

And Sunday was an exact repeat of Sat, $0.25 again.

I probably missed a post discussing this, but I used to be able to see on my account, when all my points would expire, I no longer see that. Am I missing something, or has that been removed?

 

[RedPenguin]

Check for an email called:

"Homemade costumes �� MONSTER rewards"

At the bottom $1 CASHBACK Survey.

Until a few months ago, you could see future expirations on your points history page by changing the timeframe. Now you can only see the soonest-upcoming expiration amount there.

If you want more details past that first expiration, the only places to get them now are in the Calendar of the Personal Shopper app, or towards the bottom of the Sears.com order confirmation page after you place another order.

 

[Hexen]

There were several reports on SD of problems accessing Xtra over the past couple hours this morning due to an expired SSL certificate on that server. Now it seems to be fixed. Unfortunately I'm still losing.

Cool, got it. I was surprised how short it was. Note that the survey has to be taken 10/21 (today) through 10/23 (Wed) to be eligible to get the points. The points haven't shown up yet, I assume it will take several days.

Same here. I have played all of them, got 10 cents. So unless I win one of the $1 or get $1 from that survey/email, today *****

 

[RedPenguin]

Guys, don't forget SYW has some nice affiliate deals lately like Walmart.com until 10/31.

I needed a drain snake from Walmart that was on sale & SYW is giving me 8% back for my Walmart.com order.

The order is like $10.31 and they are giving like 82 cents which isn't bad compared to only 1% cashback that other sites were only offering.

EDIT: Just realized using my SYW Card prob will stack and give 9% or 12%.

At least I squeezed $0.30 out of WL this morning, but I've lost 4 out of 6 $1 games already, and won't be near WiFi during the 6th one this evening.

Edit: Ended up having WiFi after all... still lost all 6.

 

[RedPenguin]

Well so much for the website's stock.

Again another Sears item I tried to get and the site claims in stock but the PS says it's not in stock.

I really wish they had everything on the same page.....

 

[RedPenguin]

@Hexen, if you are still interested, I noticed the Hedge Shears dropped back to $6.94.

Has anybody heard any info on the Blowout as to if they are actually extending it further than 11/15 or not?

I really have been getting a lot of bang for my points with some of these crazy low prices, I wish they could last forever.

Yes, it has been back down at $6.94 since some time last week when the prices that had been raised by $2 on many items went back down. I still haven't bought the shears yet, still considering it but I'll have to go through chat/PS since they don't have them at my local store anymore and will only ship them to home. I'll see where I end up at on points by next week when I have things starting to expire again.

As for sale extensions, the tags I saw in the store last week indicated it is apparently running through Nov 16. That will already be a whopping 2 months for this sale, and there won't be much left to sell of the blowout items by then unless they have some big restocking soon. After that point, they're probably going to switch to putting different items on sale for the holiday season.

But wow, some last-minute Xtra luck! First $0.50 in another game, and now $1 from Witches Brew!

Lousy day got $.20 but when I’m fishing to buy a cotter pin removal tool I have to ask myself what exactly am I doing

At least the blowout sale helps, I had to come up with $7.19 for that tool a couple months ago instead of $2.94. (Basically our points are worth 2-3x as much until this sale ends!)


Rare $1.80 day for me Mon, I think that's the most I've had in one day in weeks.

Win List hasn't been working all night/morning for me. "We're sorry, there was an error getting your list."

Did win $0.50 on Xtra though.

Update: Still down, and causing the Bonus game to be unplayable too.

 

[RedPenguin]

Wow, without WL it really *****.

I did manage to get a $0.25 from XTra but I miss my at least $0.05-$0.30 roughly from WL.

I wonder if the 2nd Bonus will also be a dud.

It's finally fixed.

Was hoping for backed-up wins, nope. Lost the bonus and lost 2 out of 3 WL spins. Will save the rest for later. sigh

Pretty much same luck.

I thought I was doing good for a while with that $1 win and one day 50 cent win but it feels like I am doing miserable.

Even less spins seem to be wins these days than just a few weeks ago.

I guess I'm not doing extremely horrible though as I tend to somehow squeeze out at least $10 for a PS order right around the time my points start to expire. Usually before have to do order cancel (or if I do, only like 2 days).

Lately I have just been getting mostly household stuff and some electronic wires that went on sale as it's not extremely easy to spread $10 on many tools or other nice items.

I like to look on the bright side though as even if I just get cat food or bath soap, it does save me money buying it at a local store and it's better than wasting the points.

 

[getbent4x4]

did all the online sweeps..+$0.20

 

[Hexen]

Had a $0.50 and $0.25 on Tue, $1 total.

[RedPenguin]

WL was completely different than yesterday. I think it was like 5-6 wins nickels and WWW gave a decent amount of nickels & dimes.

Looks like $1.15 for the day. I say looks like as it seems every once in a while extra nickels or dimes can pop up later in the day.
