View Comments (31)

• Q4 offer came today. 10% cash back on Grocery, Gas, and Restaurants. Minimum spend $1,500. Maximum credit $250/month. I don't think I'll ever stop using this card for groceries.

  • Got the same thing. $1500/month is quite a bit higher spend than previous offers for me as it's per month, not quarter. I'll probably have to figure out a better way to liquidate gift cards instead of just organic spend if I start going for these...

• Looks like I just got the $75 back on $750 spend offer that others got. Came in a month late for me for some reason.

• is there still a way to get this card?

  • You can still apply for the SYWR point earning card, mixed DP on getting converted to the Citi TYP earning card.

• I got $75 statement credit after $750 spend.

  • Same, except $500+ spend

• please note in the pic this is a Shop you way master card. its not the same as the sears card that earns TYP.

  You can not sign up for this TYP earning Sears card

  • You can PC to it.

    • i wasted my 5/24 slot on this card thinking that it can be PCed . It Cannot.

      and yes i have tried calling them over 50 times over last 2 months.

      • It's against the law for issuers to product change if you have not had the card for atleast 1 year (this is meant to protect consumers from issuers who change terms or bait and switch). DPs should be clear about how long they've have the card.

      • 50 times? Jeez... is it that serious? Lol I know we love points but at some point what about the value of your time?

      • Others have PC'd to it within the last 12 months. How long has your card been opened for?

    • No, you cannot. It was true but myself and multiple others have pointed out that the switch option has been dead since last year. It really should be updated.

      • Some people have PC'd within the last year, it's highly YMMV.

        • Basically all reports I've seen here and on other sites have failed. This is just a guess, but I think anybody that got reissued a new card and account number last year or signed up after that aren't able to product change to TYP anymore. I signed up back in 2018 but was lazy and didn't get around to try and change it until recently and they said I couldn't. They reissued my card last November.

          Still happy with all the statement credits I've been getting though.

        • Usually you need to have had the card for 12+ months before they will PC to the Citi TYP version. Not sure if that affects reissued cards or not

        • Interesting, maybe I'll try again in a few months.

• How is everyone getting these offers? My wife has this card but NEVER gets any offers. Do they come via email or snail mail? Anything I can do to try and get some offers? (we did put some random purchases on the card months ago in an attempt to stir the pot, but still nothing)

  • @guest_1038890 How long ago was the card opened? I opened mine about 2 years ago and it took a couple months (8 or 9 I think?) for the offers to start rolling in. I didn't even put much spend on it, only like $50 at first to meet the signup bonus and then I ignored it for a few months. I got a few via snail mail I think before I switched to paperless and started getting the promos in emails instead.

    • Thanks for your information. I will be more patient. I've got this card for 3 months and got no offer. It looks I need to wait for a longer time.

• Nothing on my SYW card, got the previous 20% on utilities though.

• I got 7500 points on purchases totaling $750.

  • same here

• The amount of rewards being thrown out for this defunct retailer's card is disgusting. lol. Makes me want a card.

  • Sears will never truly go out of business. It’s funny watching other businesses fall and die while sears is still falling and never dying.

• Yeah pretty sweet. I have this, the utility 25X and grocery store 20X. So basically I'm looking at 30X utility and 25X grocery the next couple months.
