Shopathome is currently offering 11% cashback on Sears.com purchases. (HT: Victor) Update: The 11% offer was short-lived (only a few hours, perhaps), the rate is now showing as 8%.
We reported on a great offer going on at Sears until 12/25/15. With each $100 gift card purchased from Sears, you’ll get a $20 bonus eAward card. And it appears that it can be repeated for each $100 Sears gift card purchased.
This times awesomely with Discover’s Q4 5% quarterly category which includes Sears.com. (Only e-gift cards and reloads will work to trigger the 5% bonus since physical gift cards are processed by Kmart. Physical gift cards will get the Sears portal cashback since the purchase is made on sears.com.)
What’s even better is that many shopping portals pay out for the purchase of Sears gift cards, more details on this in the previous post. Shopathome does not exclude gift cards and in my experience with both physical gift cards and e-gift cards, the cashback does come through automatically.
The Haul
Buy Sears e-gift cards which should trigger the eAward, the portal, and the Discover 5% cashback.
- $120 Sears credit for $100
- $11 back from Shopathome
- $10 back from Discover for those who will have their cashback doubled
- Total: $79 paid for $120 in Sears credit
That’s around a 34% discount there! And that’s before double-dipping by going through a portal when you purchase the actual product. For example, you can go through the Splender portal and get an additional 7% back. Or you can risk going through the Shopathome portal again and hope to get another 11% back, although gift card redemptions are excluded from the terms (I have no personal experience with that).
One note of caution: You may be limited to using just one eAward card per transaction.
