Three nice Sears ShopYourWay points promotions have popped up today: one promotion awards $5 in ShopYourWay points with every Uber ride over the next few days. The other two promotions are unrelated to travel but may also be of interest: buy $60 in winter clothes and get $60 in ShopYourWay points.
Deal #1) Shop Your Way & Uber
The Deal
- Earn $5 in Sears ShopYourWay Cashback for every Uber ride from February 13-15
- Must first link your ShopYourWay and Uber accounts here
Key Terms
- Uber pool doesn’t count
- ShopYourWay points expire after 2 months
- Available in all markets served by Uber
Quick Thoughts
This looks like a good deal to me. If you’re using Uber anyway over the next couple of days, you might as well get some free Sears money while doing it. Danny the Deal Guru also has details on an Ibotta offer to get another $1 back per ride.

Deal #2) Buy $60 in winter clothes, get $60 in Sears ShopYourWay Cashback points
The Deal
- Spend $60 on winter clothing and boots, get $60 cashback in points
Key Terms
- Points are awarded the next day and are valid for 7 days
Quick Thoughts
Not a bad deal if you need both some winter clothes and something else from Sears in the next 7 days. While many will lament the fact that these points are only valid for 7 days, I don’t actually mind that — it increases the chance that I’ll use the points rather than forget about them (and before Sears goes out of business — which is the perpetual rumor).

Deal 3) Spend $50 on Floor Care or Microwave Ovens, get $50 in ShopYourWay Cashback points
The Deal
- Spend $50 on Vacuums & Floor Care and/or spend $50 on Microwaves, get $50 cashback in points (for each category)
Key Terms
- Points are awarded the next day and are valid for 7 days
Quick Thoughts
This is the same drill as above in that the points have a short expiration — so be sure that you plan to buy something else within the next week to be able to use the points you earn.

Bottom line
Sears used to be very lucrative with these offers because for a long time it was possible to double dip — going through a shopping portal to purchase gift cards and then going through a portal again to use gift cards and going through a portal a third time to use ShopYourWay points, earning miles on all 3 cycles of the same $50 or $60. I don’t believe that Sears awards portal rewards on either the purchase or reloading of gift cards anymore, though if you have recent experience to the contrary, please go to our Laboratory to report your results. Still, between these two promos and $5 per Uber ride, it should be possible to stock up on some things you need at a decent value if you have Sears purchases on the horizon — and don’t forget to use a shopping portal to make your purchases.
