YMMV: Sears, SYWR, $5 worth of points in email, good through 8/27/12

Thanks for the heads up, I use to get emails for these, but now don't get them for some reason. Seems I've let $15 worth of points go to waste recently .

Generally the points can be used on whatever.

thank you OP! i didn't know it was in my email until i read your post. this can be used on anything. i bought 2 bottles of detergent for $0.87
Merchandise Subtotal:
$7.76
Shop Your Way redemption:
-$6.96
Sales Tax:
$0.07
Estimated Total Cost of This Order:
$0.87
Sears (xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx)
$0.87

i had $1.96 in my acct already. the $5 award is good enough for a free 50 oz. bottle of detergent if you have nothing better to buy. free in store pickup.
4 different 50 oz bottles of ultra deterent for $3.88 each

If your part of Sears SYWR or SYWM, check your email. This morning I received an email stating "Congragulations xxxxx! You have been awarded $5 worth of SHOP YOUR WAY REWARDS Points (5,000 Points) to your account for being our valued Member. Hurry! These Points expire on 8/27/12."

(I haven't purchased anything from Sears for awhile and just removed something from my cart a couple days ago so perhaps that combo triggerd this offer.)

I get this on and off, and never figured out if this was due to one of the past purchases over $50 or just randomly sent to some sywr members ... for one 2 days back expiring tomorrow ...
