Here is how to shop your way at Sears for extra savings.
- Loyalty program
People have found it confusing to navigate Shop Your Way, which is Sears’ loyalty program, but the first most important and perhaps only thing to focus on is ‘points’. It goes without saying that you must enroll for the program to start earning points.
As a loyal customer, you earn points for everything you buy at Sears, but also at Kmart, and Land’s End section. With a Shop Your Way account, you get 5% back on your purchases at all times and during certain promotions even more. In the past, customers even received $10 back in points for a $10 item, making this a free purchase.
- Price match guarantee
Sears matches competitor prices, but remember that you have to bring proof of cheaper price (original advertisement) with you to store for a price match. The brand and model of the cheaper item have to be identical and you can only request price match on the same day you make your purchase.
Sears also matches online retail competitor prices, so if you find a lower price for an identical item of the same brand and model number, print the ordering page (including shipping and handling costs) and bring with you to your local store on the day of your purchase and Sears will match the price.
- Sears’ coupons
Although Sears’ paper coupons are less common nowadays, you may still find a couple of them in the Sunday circular and mailings to cut a little more off your spending. Much more common however are Sears’ digital coupon codes that you can find online with a simple Google search.
