Our Verdict
You’ll want to make sure the items you’re buying have the “Spend $40, Get $40 CASHBACK in points”. Make sure you also have a plan for what you plan to do with the points, as they do expire after 7 days.
Can you buy, say, a $50 item and use $10 of SYWR points but pay for the remaining $40 with a card and get the $40 for $40 deal? Or does using any SYWR disqualify you?
A promotion like this: Spend $X and get $X cashback, just means you have to spend the minimum of new money (or gift cards). Anything over that amount can come from points. As someone above said, you can even stack a coupon (whether it’s from what’s available in your account or from another site) or the FREECASH offers that are tied to your account. You just have to make sure that you meet the minimum in new money (or gift cards). You can always play with the numbers in the cart (handy if you happen to get a percentages type of coupon). Not only do you get to verify what you are earning as you play with the coupons, but on the screen that you redeem points as well, so if you need to remove the points and put in a different number, you can.
Are you sure about that? I just called the rep and was told that using points would disqualify me from getting cashback. Have you tried that before?
I can verify (at least in my experience) that what Valkana said is true. I did the microwave $50 in points back on $50 in spend offer a few weeks ago. My total was ~$75. I used about $20 in free cash and $55 out of pocket. I got the $50 in cash bonus points just fine.
I just bought Achim Importing Co. Cube DIY Modular Storage Unit.
I wanted 9 cube version but shipping for it is was 90$ so instead got 2 and 6 cubes for 55$ used Sears free Cash of 10$ i had from earlier so paid 48$ including tax and will get 40$ in Sears Point.
Thanks a lot DOC you rock!!!
Just wanted to let everyone know if you do this offer with Sears (not Kmart), make sure you stack it with RetailMeNot cashback for Sears. They have $10 off $50 right now. This is the link: https://www.retailmenot.com/view/sears.com
Would have to spend $10 extra to get to $50, but you’d get the $10 back through RetailMeNot.
There is also a $60/60SYWR points SEARS promotion with same dates for:
Winter clothing
Boots
Deleted.
I got a $50 offer with identical terms.
Bought a microwave. Ended up costing me ten bucks or so.
I’ll use the points to buy something else.
It’s a good deal if you need to buy something there.
If I didn’t need delivery it would have been almost free.
Can you do multiple $40+ transactions and receive $40 in points each time???
Just once I think
One per category. So you could do 8X if you can find something to use/resell in each category. I did some reselling in the last round with mixed success.
I thought it was just the Home category.
Works on Sears too 🙂
Can we buy the $40 with SYWR points to get $40 cashback in points?
No. You have to pay with real money.
No rolling unfortunately
They’re desperate but not that desperate.
There’s just so much laundry detergent one can stock up on due to the 7-day point validity.
Generic design beach towels for $4.79 at K-Mart to round up if one comes up a few $ short of $40.
