I've only been here for a few months, maybe this is old news but if you text POINTS to 73277 it enrolls you in a Sears mobile alerts. I guess you could opt out after you get the $5 or spend it.

It was in my SYWR app today

I got a text saying that I just got $5 in points, but I don't see them in my account. Not sure how long they take to appear. Sears' website is so touchy.

They might show up as surprise points, which don't show in your regular points balance.

Response was $5 surprise points for me when I texted.

No bar code when I followed the link in the text. I have not signed into my SYW account yet to see if they just show up there. Not sure if my cell number is linked to account, but that is the number they text to when an order is ready for pickup.

Do you have to send the text message from the phone number associated with the SYW account?

DISREGARD - I got $5 in surprise points later.

I'm not seeing any barcode with the instructions:

Cashier Instructions:
1. Scan product
2. Scan barcode on member's phone
3. Manually enter the barcode in case of scanning error

Me neither. It says I have the points but I don't have a barcode either.

I've been having lots of problems with both Sears and SYWR working properly as of late (well they've never exacty worked well to begin with). But for the past few days it seems nothing is working right. I have trouble getting coupons to work. Tool of the months points not getting credited. Bonus points showing up then disappearing then showing up again...just a mess

I got tricked by the Craftsman Club email!!! :mad:

Just went to double-check my Tool of the Month points, and discovered they are not showing up at checkout on either Sears.com or Craftsman.com. Worked fine last month.

Yep same here. I figure if they aren't there by tomorrow i'll have to call about those and this one as well. I'll probably also ask about the coupons. But I think that has more to do with Sears marking everything as a "hot buy" lately.

My $5 from the text message showed up immediately, but I have yet to get my $10 from craftsman club even though I got the e-mail as well.

Mine still aren't showing up. I too received a coupon without a barcode.

I have never been able to get a SYWR coupon to work. I always get an error saying that the system doesn't recognize the promo code. I have called Sears about it a few times but they can never figure it out.

Has anyone figured out how to opt-out?

I get several emails a day from Sears for all the SYWR emails. I don't mind that because I can just ignore them. But if I got as many text messages from Sears as the amount of email, it ain't worth 5 bucks.

Before I opt-in. I want to make sure I can quickly and easily opt-out after I get the 5 bucks.

...


Got a coupon without the barcode, and nothing added to my account.

I gave up, and texted STOP to opt-out.
