Quick Thoughts
This is a nice return on many stores that rarely offer such large returns (think Best Buy, LL Bean, etc). Keep in mind that Sears may be in rough shape — while the retailer’s demise has been exaggerated on more than one occasion, continued store closings make its future tenuous. I wouldn’t earn Shop Your Way Rewards without a plan to use them soon.
According to Doctor of Credit, you can take advantage of this promotion once per person from each the shopping portal and the Fount app for a total of $100 back. Remember that this 30% will not stack with the rewards shown in the portal. That is to say that if a store shows a return of 6%, you will not earn 36%, but rather just 30% (whichever rate is higher).

The Fount t&c are different than SYW. It looks like Fount is giving the 30% on many Raise.com and Amex Gift Cards whereas SYW specifically excludes all gift cards. I used SYW to double dip using Raise before Macy’s. I probably should have gone to Fount for the Raise dip. Can anyone verify Fount is paying 30% for most Raise and Amex GC?
I’m confused – it says Home Depot is excluded but then you mention it as a retailer that “doesn’t usually get such high returns.”.
Whoops – nice catch. My mistake on including that with Best Buy and LL Bean. I have fixed that.
