I know I’ve focused a lot on the business end of rewards programs lately, but (finally) here’s an update for my cashback shoppers:
ShopYourWayRewards members (that’s Sears and Kmart‘s loyalty program) who spend $35 or more today will get a free emailed GC code good for $5 off your next $5 purchase. (It’ll be emailed some time next week, and it’ll be good through 5/12.) Here is the fine print.
If you’re shopping online, remember to shop through a cash back site! Entering your SYWR number at checkout will not interfere with cashback rewards. Sears and Kmart also allow you to choose in-store pickup if you want to avoid paying shipping, and you’ll still receive both your SYWR and your cashback.
Best cashback rates for Sears right now: ShoptAtHome (9%), Ebates (7%), and Upromise (5%).
Best cashback rates for Kmart right now: ShopAtHome (6%), Upromise (5%), and MyPoints (5 points per dollar = around 3.6%). Note, some rewards programs may offer a range of rates for these stores depending on what item you purchase. If you’re shopping for fine jewelry at Kmart, for example, you can earn a higher rate at TopCashback (9%).
Also, these coupon codes shouldn’t interfere with cash back:
