    Love the title šŸ™‚



  • Thanks!



  • Why do I need a riveter? What projects or applications do you find yourself using this?

    OK, so hereā€™s what I do with tool deals. e.g. ā€¢Craftsman General Purpose Riveter $5.92 w/ $0.94 SYWR points back (reg. $12.99)
    Requires FreeCash/Surprise Points. Last week I had $12 in FreeCash.
    I bring riveter to the register (only works on Tools and B&M). Tell the cashier I want to pay full price.
    They scan item, get to screen that asks ā€œwould customer like an instant gift card?ā€.
    Cashier enters ā€œyesā€. Price jumps to $12.99.
    I pay $12 in FreeCash, 99Ā¢ with Sears gc.
    Cashier then issues gc for $7.77. $7.77 = $12.99 (regular price) - $5.92 (sale price) + 10%.
    I do this A LOT. Have earned hundreds in Sears gc.
    Tool Dept guys & I are now buddies. We have it down pat. I pay oop w/ my gc then hand them the gc to which they then load the new funds. For this gc net -99Ā¢ + $7.77.
    This deal is advertised but no one (except me) does it. If Iā€™m at a different store I might have to talk a cashier through their screens. Theyā€™ve seen the screen but always hit ā€œnoā€ because ā€œno one ever does itā€.
    Have used Sears gc to buy appliances or eg Shell gas gc at KM. Unload the tools on eBay.



  • Dang 4mainecoons, and I thought I was helping Sears out on their race to the bottom!
    You definitely discovered a wormhole there. Karma will keep me from copying this though.
    I feel guilty enough about previous 100% SYWR points-back deals, especially from Kmartā€¦

    Iā€™ve been doing this for more than 2 years. It will be my 3rd Christmas šŸ™‚
    Its advertised.
    They recently added it to online but online canā€™t use Surprise Pts/Free Cash and I donā€™t trust theyā€™ll send you gc.
    With 100% back in pts deals you have to spend oop. Not my style.
    BUT if I were to do that Iā€™d be using my same Sears gc at KM.
    Iā€™d buy widget for $10, get 10k back in pts.
    Then find a tool reg price $19.99, on sale for $9.99
    Request to pay full price.
    Pay $10 in points, $9.99 on gc, get back $11 on gc and sell the tool.

    Sold 54 of these last Christmas season.
