Do Any of you use the Your Way Rewards cards? What has been your experience?
I just signed up. I go to another store right next door to Kmart weekly, so I thought I would give Kmart a try. It has been many years since I have been there. But I see some specials once and awhile that work for us.
I noticed on their ad this week they have a special on Pand G items. Is the $30 before or after coupons, to get the $10. coupon?
thanks

[cooldog4612]

yes, I use my SYWR card evertime I shop, personally I think it is one of the best reward cards becuse basically free money gets put back on your card, and there are so many oppurtuintes to get bonus points which equals more free money!

[dee15mom]

I didn't even know what they were until 2 days ago. I have over 19,000 now

[novalee69]

I have 42,000 points on my card. That's $42 just for shopping there!!!

Do you guys feel you spend alot more money there for the same items than at other stores?

Yup!! The regular prices are great. But they have some of the best clearance prices!! I check them out every once and awhile but only ever shop with coupons there otherwise its simply too much!

[dee15mom]

I personally rarely go there, it's the hubby & kids running there to pick up something quick because it's close to the house.

[fischer1611]

Do they figure your rewards off of pre or post coupon totals?

[Elle13]

Points are based on your final, after coupon (pre-tax) total.
It's not a bad program, seems Sears Holdings kinda threw it together to keep up with other stores that offer card rewards. It does add up if you shop quite a bit, or pick up the items that have the bonus points on them.

You get 1% or 10 points back on your purchases. 1000 points equals 1.00. (So you get 1.00 back for every 100 you spend). Registers are supposed to issue random receipts for free product/money off coupons-but I haven't seen any of those come up since the program launched.

Re wards card in k-mart? Can anyone explain me the rules in kmart regarding coupons? Thanks to all!

[Sandy M]

I don't really think it is such a great program. Kmart's prices are normally too high,so I don't shop there enough to accumulate many points. I believe that I read somewhere that they do expire after a certain period of time. They don't print on your receipt about your points like other stores do so you need to look them up either on line or ask the cashier when you are checking out.

Thank you very much!

[Nermalina]

Can you use it when you buy prescriptions?

[novalee69]

My Kmart prints my points on my receipt. You can also earn bonus points. They don't expire either. Kmart also has super coupons in the store that is only available to rewards members. Have you been there latley?

Where do get the super coupons for reward members? I went there yesterday and looked around for coupons and didn't find any. They asked for my email address and by the time I got home the receipt was in my email and the points were listed on it. I agree they are high on somethings but I was comparing the venus razors and they price out at the same price as the b1g1 50% off at Walgreens.

Ours sit on a corner of the Customer Service Desk and sometimes there is a lady at the door asking if you have a card and handing out the current ones.

[spencerquartet]

I rarely shop there throughout the year, but do quite a bit of shopping there at Christmas-time. That's where I gain my rewards, mostly.

I used the last of my rewards today and only spent $.89 there.

[stetne]

I hardly ever shop at Kmart except for when they are doing double coupon events or Thanksgiving/Black Friday sales. I would say Black Friday is when I get the bulk of my points. And what is great is if you forget to use your Rewards card when you make your purchase, you can go online and enter in your receipt number and your points get creditted pretty fast. And I LOVE that I can pay with my rewards card at the register - dont even need to reswipe it or anything.

[Charmedonez]

I use mine every time I shop. I just recently used my "money" on a purchase and had to use 0 "real" money

[emilystuff]

I work as a cashier at K-mart and you would be surprised the amount of people that have all this money on the card and never realize it. I got $13 in one shot when my husband bought me a mothers ring on mother's day. Hey, I got 2 free shirts and a candy bar!

Just FYI, SYWR's points never expire and they print the reward points on the bottom of your receipt every time you use your card. At least thats what happens at Sears, where i work; so kmart more then likely does the same thing.

[kyahsmama]

Your SYWR points do expire. Exactly 1 year from when you earned them. Normally you will get an email or text message informing you that your points are going to expire soon. However, like Sears, KMart also prints your points out on your receipt when you use your card.

It has to be calculated before coupons, because I have 997 and I signed up for my card on Sunday for the doubles. There's no way I've spent $100 there...more like less than $10, including tax!! I'm just going to save my points until Christmas shopping and use them then

Around Christmas time I got a random free Glade spray coupon. That's the only one I've ever received but I don't shop there very often either.

Thanks to all great info!! I will try any penny that I can save right now is important!
