christmasangel Posted September 11, 2006 Share 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 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchandalisha Posted September 12, 2006 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tal919 Posted September 13, 2006 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ms_mckenna Posted September 13, 2006 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conj Posted September 13, 2006 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gzc721 Posted September 16, 2006 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoopysgirl Posted September 23, 2006 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

julz0420 Posted September 24, 2006 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

debgar Posted October 1, 2006 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gzc721 Posted October 7, 2006 Share 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!

peachysquirt21 Posted October 8, 2006 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1angelnhvn Posted October 12, 2006 Share 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!
