Hat tip to reader Ramanath
I received this offer two successive months. First was for purchases made 4/22 through 5/20, and again for 5/21 through 6/19. The $75 stmt credit posted on 5/22.
Wow I got a totally new Sears spend offer, that I have never seen before from them
10x TYP for spending over $300 are Warehouse Clubs, Drug Stores both online/in person.
May, June, July
Capped at 5500 TYP per mo.
warehouse clubs is a little tricky since we are Costco, and in person, they only take Visa.
But drug stores / gc ought to be good
auberginebe I got the same offer as statement credit on the SYW version of the card. One trick you can do is to buy a Costco GC (“Shop Card”) on their website as you can use more than just Visa on their website. I’ve been doing it with past promos for online purchases on this card. Takes a week or two to arrive though.
Whats the best way to cash out the points? I don’t have any other citi cards….are you able to transfer and redeem at more than 1c/point anyway?
If you book flights through their portal, you can get 1c /point and as far as I checked the ticket price almost matches with other OTAs. Gift cards are .5c/point.
This card seems wildly rewarding but I don’t understand why Citi is trying to promote it so much considering Sears is pretty much a dead brand
The TY version is not even available anymore. It’s more of making money off those people who like to carry a balance on a monthly basis. Also every year they offer “deferred internet” 0% APR. All these amazing offers just keep encouraging them to spend more.
contracts.
I got a 10k offer on my TY version.
For those using Gmail, a way to see if you were targeted is to use the following filter:
in:all from:”Sears Card Issued by Citibank”
in:all from:” Shop Your Way Card”
This will match anything that was accidentally deleted or junked within the last 30 days as well. The first one should work for the Sears MasterCard (cyan version), the second one for the Shop Your Way MasterCard (black version).
Replace curly quotes with standard ones.
My offer is 10,000 TYP for $2000 by 5/20.
I got 10,000 TY Points with 2,000 dollars spent by May 20th.

Got this type of offer the first time with this card – $50 statement credit for $750 spend. I originally was approved back in February. Seems like sometimes people never receive these offers no matter what, so I’m glad to have received one.
That’s what I heard too, so I was worried I’d have to wait a while. Turns out I’m getting my second offer (same as yours) after getting approved in January.
I also got approved in January and am still waiting for my first offer.
Sears TY card have been showering me with offers lately. Can’t keep up
