BridgeIU Posted May 9, 2008 Posted May 9, 2008 Sears & KMart are doing this again! Buy a $50 GC and get a free $10 GC. There are people out there that will try to keep 'rolling' the GCs so they can keep getting $10 reward cards, but I think that just getting the free $10 is enough for me!
liz harley Posted May 9, 2008 Posted May 9, 2008 So if I spend $50 on a gift card (get a $10 free gc) ...can I use that 50 gc to buy another $50 GF (and of course get a second 10 gc) ????????

" Most stores now have big signs up saying you currently cannot buy a GC with another GC. Some people have actually been banned from stores for doing this GC rollover and the mgrs are threatening to call the police. Personally, I was happy with a 20% "return" on my money. It's a free pack of diapers for my DD from Kmart. I have 2 in diapers now and every little bit helps. I used the rest of the money to buy dog food (which they have coupons on right now) and cereal and snack foods which were on sale. I also went to Sears and got a free $10 from them. I verified that Sears gift cards can be used in the portrait studio before buying a GC there. I probably spend $400 a year in the studio, so an extra $10 there means an extra portrait sheet for Grandma. I was going to get Mother's Day photos this month anyways :) getting 20% back on my money is better than the 10% back that Kroger grocery stores are currently offering...
purplepenguin Posted May 10, 2008 Posted May 10, 2008 Just spent $140 at sears and did not get a gift card will have to go back tomorrow
liz harley Posted May 10, 2008 Posted May 10, 2008 Azzycat- you are correct...just read on another site where there are some legal issues. some made $100's in profits from this deal by doing some very questionable purchases/returns.
BridgeIU Posted May 13, 2008 Author Posted May 13, 2008 Just spent $140 at sears and did not get a gift card will have to go back tomorrowYou have to buy a gift card to get the $10.
kansascityshopper Posted May 13, 2008 Posted May 13, 2008 Is this still going on? I can't find any information on the dates/details!
threelittlecupcakes Posted May 15, 2008 Posted May 15, 2008 If you were going to make a major purchase this would help a lot unless they restrict when and what you can use the ten dollar card on.
happyrat Posted May 15, 2008 Posted May 15, 2008 I don't see using a gc to buy another one as illegal, unethical perhaps, but not illegal. If the store is dumb enough to do it and someone wants to cheat the system so be it.
justlisa27 Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 is this promotion still going on? I asked at Kmart a couple of days ago and they said it had ended.
