I received an email this morning saying "congrats you have been awarded with $10 worth of sywr points (10,000 points) for being a valued member". Expires 6/4 be on the lookout for that email!

[nkmcannon]

I recieved this also but do you have to use it in the outdoor section?

[bubbsguy]

Yes outdoor section but that includes cooking tools according to outdoor living section online. I'll give it a shot tomorrow. I'm negative right now due to the bonus point fiasco.

[dmyers4607]

Boo I got too excited I didnt see that. but the I would like some grilling utensils on the cheap!

[diaperhoarder]

I got the bonus last night and that made my available $$ at $23.00. This morning they took my bonus points away they gave for the p&g stuff, so now I only have $3 available. If you are in the negative, I don't think you will have any points to use. They will take them to pay back the negative.

[piggypup]

I just checked my email and it was there. did yoyu get the 6/10 ad preview too...looks like a boring week but I can see 3 maybe 4 really good ideas for match ups! yay!

Be careful, I got an email like that last month saying I had $30 worth of points for making a $300 grill purchase (which I had a few months prior) and when I got to the store, the points didn't exist and when I called corperate they said the email was a mistake and refused to honor it.

[bamagirl1977]

i got an email for $5.00 or 5000 points that expire 6/4

[jcsaxx]

Anybody use the free $10 today? If so, what did you buy from the Outdoor section that was cheap?

[bamagirl1977]

I think it didn't even credit my account to begin with as and I ended up using points I already had

I'm not sure that it is only good for the outdoor section. The wording on the email says "...anything you'd like in Outdoor living, in store or online." I've gotten similar emails before that said something about Home Living, but I was able to just use my points for just general purchases. I'm going in to try and see if it works on anything in a few minutes.

[dmyers4607]

Please report back im about to head there in about an hour it would be great if it could be used on other things as well. TIA

[bethcg]

I used these $10 bonus points on a bra today. So I am guessing good on anything in store.

[williamsmom2]

I just got back, my store had snack items on clearance, so I grabbed a bunch of those, and a pack of printer paper. Told the cashier to use all my points, and it went through with no problems, no beeps, no questions. HTH! Good luck!

[dmyers4607]

I bought a $5 grill brush & the other $5 went towards the other items in my cart!

[Momgottasave]

I went to purchase a garden hose for $7.99 .. Nothing showed up or was credited off of the total .. Showed CS the email and couldn't do anything , so returned the hose and it took points from me ! Urgh , also I returned some Gillette razors that scalped my friends head and it took 30% off each item including the 3 m&m bags that rang up at $3.79 instead of $2.50 ( no $5 gc either was given when I bought them .,) they were on the same receipt and it was 2 DAYS before the glitch that gave away the points !! They have some nerve pulling this crap .. I didn't return the m&ms that day cause I was so frustrated I had to leave and chose to deal with it another day ( my bad obliviously ) which seems to be their employees attitude when things go wrong , they don't shop at the stores they work at and then look at us like idiots for shopping there ourselves ( basically ) .. Like the sugar baby deal , over half the stores nationwide doesn't even stock them .. With ?

Every 2 wks or so they have sent me these emails and they do work. You have to tell the cashier you want to redeem your rewards tho. It doesn't just show up they have to apply it.So far I have gotten $10 in jewelry dept,garden center, outdoor area and $5 off anything in the store. At first they were good for 3 days and now only 2. I think they will lower the amount of time you can use them once you actually do .

I've only been getting them for about a month. Is your shop your ways profile set up to allow emails? Do you have the ap on your phone? Sometimes I see them there but don't get an email. Also are you sure your email isn't blocking them?

Yes I do get e-mails from SYWR but not these good ones.

I don't have a Smart Phone

Actually...a great way to get the emails is sign up for a new account...different emsil address that you do check.

Don't use it a lot. Buy just a couple items with it. Then let it sit. Do go online and create your account ans set up the password and email addy to be a bonus member.

Then just wait for the emails. To entice you to use the card...they will send them out.

You can use a home number for one and a cell for another.

I did this about 3 months ago and I have a total of $8.47 in qualified spending...but I have redeemed over $60 in rewards on it.

On my actual account I am silver and I have only got the freebie emails once on it.
