I’d like to take advantage of a possible 16X points through Sears. We need a new riding mower so this would bring a big return. But I haven’t done the “buying Sears gift cards thru a shopping portal, and then turning around and using them thru same portal” thing. I’m a little cautious considering I’d be getting $1,500 worth and don’t want to be stuck with them if they’re not accepted.
I have bought Sears Gcs at large value several times and never had a problem. I do keep screenshots of the entire transaction for each GC purchase. In case you do not get the pay out the screenshots help to support your case.
