Deal has expired, see more Sears deals by clicking here.
Code wasn’t really working properly yesterday, but it seems now the points are loaded to people’s accounts. Just reposting as I know some avoided the deal due to all the failure comments.
The Offer
- Sears is offering Shop Your Way Rewards members $5 in points when they Text FREECASH TO 73277.
The Fine Print
- Valid until 1/21/19
- Spend $5 or more on qualifying purchase. Items sold by Sears. Excludes TVs, Lands’ End, all coupons and other FREECASH in points. Offer not Valid at Closing Stores.
Our Verdict
Pretty sure you need to have your number associated with a Sears account for it to work. Basically $5 in items for free, should be useful if you live near a store otherwise probably not so much.
These points finally showed up TODAY (1/25/19) and are good TODAY ONLY. No rhyme or reason as to why these offers work the way they do. I simply activate whenever I can and then check the account on a daily basis. I applied today’s FREECASH to a SEARS (not KMart) online order for in-store pickup and they were successfully applied at checkout.
Well it worked for me – the $5 expires today though. Strangely the text I got back started with this:
Sears: Hi, HAIJING!
No idea who HAIJING is.
got some response today after some people reporting it to be working this afternoon.
no FREECASH
When I click the link it shows me $35 off $300 coupon available for clipping.
Did others get the same thing?
Same for me. Same behavior I’ve seen on other rounds of this in the past, so I’m not surprised. I think they try to only give this type of offer to newer/infrequent customers. The barcode coupon texts were the exception.
“oops, we are sorry, we are experiencing some delay, will provide you the offer later”
tried couples of times, got this…
Check your balance, it might just update tor reflect the extra $5
Something weird is going on.
They sent me a message which reads like “You have $0 in points but we’re giving you more FREECASH in points”
Second time they sent me – “You have got $0 +$0 in points”
When I click the link it shows your FREECASH page but it is blank!
Very odd, hopefully the points show up tomorrow
Texted yesterday, no reply.
But got a text this morning. Valid online and in store.
It’s not a coupon though….it’s loaded to your account.
Not working for me.
Not working. Anyone got it to work?
Now working
How can Sears afford to give anything away?
Until you hear that someone has received AND redeemed these points I would not pay much attention to this offer. Many marketing promotions are set up far in advance of when they are rolled out. I would suspect that any offer you receive now that suggests you will get something for nothing from either Sears or KMart is invalid and won’t be honored. But hey, maybe they’re so inept there could be flukes. Whatever.
Same. Texted twice (once in all caps & once in all lower case). Crickets.
din’t work for me. Didn’t get any reply from my two numbers.
Now is working today
