happysunshine28 Posted September 11, 2006 Posted September 11, 2006 Is this sonething they do every year?
christmasangel Posted September 11, 2006 Posted September 11, 2006 I believe they have for at least the last two-three years. Last year I was all by myself out in the blowing snow to get one. The year before, my SIL and I went to the store at the other end of the mall because it opened earlier- so we ran all the way down the mall to get to Sears to get a g/c only to find out that they had all the door connecting the mall and sears closed and locked. You could'nt even get OUT of the mall near Sears- you had to go all the way back to the other store and go through THAT store to get out! We were ticked! and ummm hello- fire hazard!
Aaron Posted September 11, 2006 Posted September 11, 2006 When I went to Sears the person a few people in front of me got the last one, I was pretty mad.
mitchandalisha Posted September 12, 2006 Posted September 12, 2006 I went with my mom once last year to get one. It really wasn't worth it in my opinion. I just can't find alot to buy there. The weekend we went was two weeks after BF and I had already fininshed all my shopping.
tal919 Posted September 13, 2006 Posted September 13, 2006 Two years ago I had one grabbed right out of my hand. I felt bad for the store employee, she was being mobbed. Never went near Sears last BF.
ms_mckenna Posted September 13, 2006 Posted September 13, 2006 Wow ours is very organized. They only give out at one door and they count before hand and let you know where the end of the line is. They also had security outside along with donuts and coffee . DD was excited that she got a GC too ... she was 12 then.
conj Posted September 13, 2006 Posted September 13, 2006 I went a couple years ago with DD - who was 6 then. She got one too! She used hers to get her brother some PJs
gzc721 Posted September 16, 2006 Posted September 16, 2006 Yep, they are supposed to be doing it again this year. My DH works for Sears and they haven't rec'd anything yet stating differently. Also, they have a TON of 10.00 gc's in stock.
hoopysgirl Posted September 23, 2006 Posted September 23, 2006 I Know its only one per household but my daughter wouldn't get one, which would be no big deal, but every other person in line behind her got one even if they were together. She was mad, she had her own money to spend too!

She was mad, she had her own money to spend too!I thought it was 1 per person, not household...
julz0420 Posted September 24, 2006 Posted September 24, 2006 I waited in line early, while my mom waited in my van to stay warm. She came up before they opened and we both got a GC. I used mine to buy the Foot spa they had on sale and she used hers to buy my daughter a PJ set. :) Julie
able Posted September 24, 2006 Posted September 24, 2006 well your daughter doent live with you...she could be "living with her dad" so its a different household...i always thought it was 1 per person too.. but just cause people are togehter on black friday does not mean they live in same house.i always went with someone and noone lived in my house.
debgar Posted October 1, 2006 Posted October 1, 2006 last year, they wouldn't give them to anyone under 18. There was a Sears Grand that opened in the nearby mall (not on BF) and they handed out gift cards. They were supposed to start at 7 am and we got there 6:45 and they said they had been gone for an hour!!! Complaints got us no where, only an apology via email. and yea, l had a hard time finding something to buy last year at Sears.
threelittlecupcakes Posted October 2, 2006 Posted October 2, 2006 Last year me and dh got one but they said you had to be 18 so dd didn't get one.
gzc721 Posted October 7, 2006 Posted October 7, 2006 Yep, they are all worth 10.00. If you're lucky you can get a nice mgr. who will give them to your kids too. My hubby is a mgr. at Sears (so we can't get them), but they are supposed to still be doing it this year. When I get the ads I will post them! Nothing yet!

Nothing yet!send the ads to Brad or Rossman....so they can do what they do!
peachysquirt21 Posted October 8, 2006 Posted October 8, 2006 I dont think it is worth the time standing out in the cold for a lousy $10 GC. It would have to be alot more before I would be standing out there. LOL
gzc721 Posted October 10, 2006 Posted October 10, 2006 send the ads to Brad or Rossman....so they can do what they do!Will do. Usually have them by the end of Oct. unless they choose to be stingy with their secrets!
1angelnhvn Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 We got them last year after waiting outside in the FREEZING COLD. We did hear them asking kids how old they were and wouldn't give them to the kids! (anyone under 16 or was it 18).........I can always find stuff to buy at sears-TOOLS TOOLS TOOLS are always on the lists of folks I have to buy for!
guadarrama Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 This Is My First Year At This And I Am Definitely Thinking Of Getting In Line Here For The Gc. Does Anyone Know How Many They Give Out?
fairydustcrissy Posted October 16, 2006 Posted October 16, 2006 I always go to sears :) i save up sears GCs from other things thru the year. Last year I got hubbys mp3 player for ~10.00 after GCs, and got 30.00 MIR on it :)
mfcrowe Posted October 17, 2006 Posted October 17, 2006 Our Sears is kinda hidden away, so no one ever thinks about it. I'm going to try it this year!
shanni Posted October 17, 2006 Posted October 17, 2006 Last year I got one and so did my husband, we were the first 2 in line:D
Kellylumbard Posted October 19, 2006 Posted October 19, 2006 we have a sears grand now(used to be kmart) I will deffinatly be trying to get one. How many of you take your kids with You?I have only done it once when they were little little because they would not remember seeing the items in my cart when they opened them on christmas morning. Now they are almost 12,7,and 6 and I think dh has to work the morning after.I dont know what I will do with them.
lazerith75 Posted October 20, 2006 Posted October 20, 2006 This Is My First Year At This And I Am Definitely Thinking Of Getting In Line Here For The Gc. Does Anyone Know How Many They Give Out?They always seem to give out 200.
mrn8 Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 when does this take place?It's for their BF sale. They have a limited amount so people have to get in line pretty early for them.
