too good to be true .. cant be all locations that is what i think ..
i just checked , online flyer in NS doesnt have that promo so it must be area specific

Jul 19th, 2012, 09:22 AM
I think it is part of their "Boxing week in July promotion"....

Does NOT appear in print flyer in GVR, so definitely location specific, or at least area specific.

any deal within $25 or $50? when would people line up? my local Sears opens at 9:30, is it okay to get there around 9 to be among the first 100?

see the lower right corner of the page says " ON-TO-SM " ? i may guess it means Toroto, Ontario , and possibly Manitoba

the flyer online says "NE-ALQE-BC" .. which I may guess North East (maritimes) , Alberta , Quebec and BC, and that flyer doesnt have the card

i hope i am wrong tho, coz i would love to get that card

I wonder how much earlier we have to go to line up. I know for Staples when they have their door crashers, people get there 2 hours before doors open...at least from what I've experienced. I hope it's not that bad for Sears!

What time are most people going to line up? An hour ahead? Also, what time does Sears open?

By the fine print it looks like it is "Redem July 21-22, 2012"

as mentioned above...yeah thinking about stc location....which entrance??? "Main" parking lot entrance?

Where did you see this and in which province? I just checked with several stores and no one knows about this.

djemzine
Jul 20th, 2012, 02:12 PM
Hopefully this applies to Newmarket Sears as well. Might be main entrance from parking lot facing Yonge St. Another question, does one need to have a Sears Mastercard/Sears Card to get this? Or anyone can get it?

Also. I see that its 1 per family, but what if individual family members line up at different spots in the line?

Offer not valid in Edmonton. I have the flyer and it doesn't mention the gift card.

djemzine
Jul 20th, 2012, 11:55 PM
Hmm I haven't confirmed yet with the Sears in Newmarket. However will make it for the Sears at Fairview Mall for Sunday. So basically its 200 gift cards for the entire weekend huh? Or it could be less if they run out? Which I highly doubt it right? Since 100 for the first customers for each day. Hmm... Don't want to end up going on Sun morning and not receiving a $25 GC.

$15 here in NS. I went to one Sears and they didn't have the size I wanted so they sent me to another one. At the other one they gave me another $15 card. I didn't expect that. When I tried to use both they said one per customer and then asked how I got two. I explained that the other store didn't have my size and sent me over to this location. Then they let me use both.

DougO
Jul 21st, 2012, 10:07 AM
Well, that was interesting! There were only a handful of people at the store when it opened at 9am. Got the card easily. Got a jacket that originally cost $119 but was marked down to $42 because of their warehouse sale. Used the $25 card and a Visa gift card I got from friends, so my total was (essentially) $0!

Thanks again, RfD!

This is a joke post, right?

How is Sears giving out free gift cards to the first 50 people a scam? Sounds like they would give them to the people in line until all 50 were gone. Literally, if you snooze, you lose...

Well apparently, the one at Fairview Mall, is inside the mall on the upper level. So the one upstairs of The Source I believe.

You can buy something for 25 and return it for a gift cert and use it later.

Thanks for the info. They had signs up on the entrance doors that the gift cards would only be given away in the mall entrance.

I'm probably close to the 100th person in line. Not looking good if some people are saving spots for their friends.

They should really have someone here early giving away gc's as people show up to avoid a gong show when the doors open.

Jul 22nd, 2012, 09:54 AM
Update folks - I went to the Fairview Mall location and I was 26th in line. Arrived at 9:45am. They handed out Sears business cards with numbers. Fortunately I was number 100.

So its actually 50 per day vs 100 per day. Kind of misleading until you go and line up. However this location might have given 65-75 yesterday and 25 today.

Mom didn't get one but oh well.

Funny that more Asian people came running after the cards were handed out heh. I must be the only South Asia heh. Well time to come back at 11am

If it is 50 per day, then it doesn't look good for the people near the end of the line at Scarborough Town Centre. There's approximately 70 people in line now and not including friends and family that may bud in at the front.

Now there's a big lineup again at Fairview. People with cards from yesterday and today. Plus people who don't have cards thinking they can get the GC and don't know.

Update: Well bought a Chaps Polo T Shirt on clearance for $25.99 heh. Ended up only paying $4.36

They actually gave out more than 100 today at the Carlingwood location in Ottawa. I was 100th inline. Didn't start out at 100, but slowly crept back while people let their friends in.

Got in on it yesterday and got the last twin sheet set for $10 at STC. It was literally hidden on a neighboring shelf. I was too lazy to line up at Fairview this morning even though I have a dentist appointment next food from the mall. Forgot the malls open later too XP

Well at the Fairview Mall location it was. When I arrived there were 24 people in front of me. I happened to get #100. That means 75 were handed out yesterday. Plus, I met two people who got theirs yesterday as #25 and #37.

There was less people at Eaton's Sears yesterday than today. But today, on top of $25 GC, there's also a game where you spin the wheel, and you may win another prize. you can choose either candle or a bieber's CD.
but it's definitely first 100 per day.
good promo.
