So besides a warranty return on a tool I have no set foot inside a Sears in probably 10 years. I do not have an account of any kind and they are not on my radar for anything these days. When I went in to exchange a broken wrench they did ask for some personal info so I have them my junk email account. Today I get an email from them telling me I had $22.00 in bonus cash I needed to use. I almost nuked it but figured i would wander down the rabbit hole. I clicked the link, selected a drill bit/driver bit combo and a one other item, total $19.58. I hit "apply bonus cash" and sure enough it zeroed it out to nothing then told me that they would email me when order was ready. I;ll be damned if I did not get an email 45 min later and off I went to pick up my free shit. I still do not know why I got it but I got 20.00 worth of stuff for free, at no time did they ask for CC number or any other info so I guess thanks! | ||

Had nearly the exact thing happen a year ago. Went into the store and right to the Craftsman area. I think mine was just under $25. The manager thought it was for joining the Craftsman Club many years (decades?) ago and likely an avenue for getting known/reliable buyers back in to buy additional product. Life moves pretty fast.

I agree that it sounds like an advertising/customer-building promotion. Enjoy the drill bits. The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||

I bought a Craftsman (Husqvarna) garden tractor in September. It was about $2,800. It was delivered with the mowing deck improperly attached. When I called them to complain and tell them to come pick the tractor up, they offered me $461 in in-store credit to keep it. I did keep it, and took the deck off and reattached it properly myself. Within a week of spending the $461 in in-store credit, I got a notice they were giving me $12 more in bonus cash, which I also promptly spent. Now I've just gotten an e-mail telling me I have $10 more dollars in bonus cash. Yeah, they are throwing money around. _____________ "I enter a swamp as a sacred place—a sanctum sanctorum.

I wanted to buy a fine tooth ratchet set today. No shipping available and pickup in store was something crazy like December 27. | |||
