As stated in the title! Happy Shopping
I can't get the 20% back in points to show up on the site, and the coupon they sent me doesn't work either.
I did pick up the Dewalt 12" slider and free stand in store today, and I'm going to call SYWR tomorrow and see if they won't give me the extra 10% I should have gotten. If they'll do it, the saw and stand cost me less than $400!

Does Sears have the same deal as Lowes, free stand w/Miter saw?![]()

Anybody having problems getting the 20% in points to show up? The order I placed says I got 16,243 points, but my total is only reflecting 712. I thought there was a restriction on when you could redeem the points, but I can't seem to find what it was.
The points were supposed to show up on Tuesday.
Call SYWR. 15 minutes could save you hundreds on car insura...I mean get you your points back! They usually do a pretty good job if you call them, plus you'll be talking to an American!
Sears is awful, I've had numerous negative experiences. The latest I placed an order, my order history on my profile shows the last order I placed gave me 11,600 points. Yet I have a balance of 7. That was for an order that shipped 7 days ago. I called the 800 number, of course they patch me around and finally I speak with someone and they tell me I need to dial a different 800 number. So they disconnect me and I make another call, get in another que, patched around through automated operator only to find out they were closed for the day.
Called a day later and the lady spent 20 minutes with me on hold, scratching her head saying I just don't know why. The order isn't attached to your profile, with me telling her I can see it just fine on my profile, under the order center history and it shows, You've earned 11,633 points. At the end, she promised they would get to the bottom of it and I should see the points within 7-10 business days.
That's sears in 2014
PeterT and Bigblue&Goldie, with points issues, you should try their email Sears Shop Your Way Rewards <[email protected]>. Provide them as much details as you could: your order #, name , shop your way reward # ... they usually figure it out in a day or two. better than getting frustrated over the phone and wait. also, sometimes those rewards points could be a delayed reward by design, meaning they'll deposit those points at some specific future date, usually in a week or two, then the points have to be used within a specified period, like a week from when it's rewarded. i suspect this is what you are running into. so if you want, just keep an eye on your account every other day or so and you might be pleasantly surprised. i know they don't show the specifics of the "rewarded on a future date" with those ofers and they should have made that clear but if your account shows you earned those points, sooner or later you should have it. that's been my experience.
Seems like sears is trying to reinvent themselves and betting on this whole points system. i doubt they'll succeed. it's too big a corporate machine ... in all fairness , while i hate them a lot from time to time, them being around in business is a good thing - adds competitive pressure on other stores and in the end good for consumers.
PeterT, email is actually in my last msg but it doesn't display. I see it when i edit the msg. Anyway, good luck, here it is [email protected]
I wish i used this a couple days ago... i bought my impact for 144. With sale and coupon it would have brought it down to 129.. Damn.
I just checked my account and I have my $20 in extra points. That was pretty quick. I just emailed them about it 3 1/2 hours ago.
That's good.....I'm still waiting on my points. I will probably make one last order to use up my points and then I'm done with Sears. The whole company is going downhill at a rapid rate.
I really don't have a problem....I can quit anytime
