mdsteinkamp Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 I have a question for anyone who might know the answer. If I have some points to use and I use them on an item on black Friday that has a100% back in rewards offer on it, will i get those points or do I have to pay with cash to get the points? Yes this will make the item free either way but I want to pay for the items with my current points. Can I do that.
ytmomof4 Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 Yes you should be able to I have done it before.
tinkrbel Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 not sure if they have rules about redeeming and earning in same transaction
bribri25 Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 I've definitely earned points when using points in the same transaction, but I've never encountered this with a 100% back in points item. Sorry, that's probably not much help.
riven3d Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 from what i remember you can only earn points on how much money you actually spend on the item, so if you redeem points then those points that you redeemed would be taken of the price of the item and you would only gain the point from what is left, ie if item is $20 with 20,000 points and you redeem $1 worth of points you spend $19 you would get 19,000 points

So if you use all your existing points to get it for free, you won't earn any back on this. Probably best to earn your 100% and use them later.
mdsteinkamp Posted November 22, 2014 Author Posted November 22, 2014 I just got off the phone with Shop Your Way customer service. They told me yes I can use points to purchase the item and earn points for the special reward items on black Friday. So if you have any points about to expire that one way of using them up and basically extending the length of time your points will be good. Because the new points you get you will then have 90 before they expire. The points I have now will expire the middle of January. This makes them good till the end of February and gets me a couple free items at the same time.
riven3d Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 Ok I just placed an order for the Sonic Swipe game, for $12.99 which i could of gained 129 points for it, I used a coupon bringing the price down to $7.99 which would of game me 79 points, i used the points i had 150 pts bringing my total to 7.84, i received 78 points. So I am correct you will only gain back in points the money you spend on the item.

riven3d Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 I went to Kmart spent no cash just points and earned 765 pointswould guess i depends on the item and what was it you purchased at you really didnt say what the item was or nothing else to that matter
zoemonstr Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 You get point for what ever the charge would be before reward points I think I was able to use 2 coupons for points on a future order and they are credited to my account already. 1 was for using SYWR on a purchase
riven3d Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 and I asked what the item was you dont help us much when you dont mention what it was or the price
ytmomof4 Posted November 23, 2014 Posted November 23, 2014 (edited) would guess i depends on the item and what was it you purchased at you really didnt say what the item was or nothing else to that matterI bought 3 things of led outdoor lights, gloves,book, and a craft for my dd.I used points for all of it nothing out of pocket.
