Nice part of this promo is it can be stacked with any other Citi sears promos you might have as it’s on any purchases. These types of offers are why this card is listed as the #1 store card.

Does ATT internet count for the utility offer?

Is anyone having a problem with their Sears TYP MC getting the points to post to their TYP account? Neither my regular points nor bonus points have posted after the statement closed, and in fact, I can not even generate the PDF statement. I had 4 phone calls with Citi Sears Retail and the TYP group, and none of them can help. Their advice was to wait and see if it fixed itself.
Long time TYP 'customer' and at least 5 years of Sears TYP and this is the first time this problem has flared up. Just trying to see if anyone else had this issue, as one rep claimed it was due to 'system upgrade'
I got the 150k offer. Should stack nicely with the $150 per $1k (or $250 per $2k) in GGR monthly spending that I got earlier this year.
At minimum, this is going to be:
(base 3% back) 3% x $2k = $60
(GGR offer) 15% x $2k = $300
(150k offer) $150
total = $510
Or 25.5% back!
I think what helped me get it is because I was targeted for a 10% off $1k offer for travel earlier this year and my spend the last couple of months was pretty big because of some work travel.
Your GGR math is wrong. I was making the mistake too of calling that the 15% offer but it’s only 15% for the $1000 spend. It’s 12.5% for the $2000 spend since you only get $250, not $300
Does anyone know if Verizon would count? I only have home internet with them.
Count for what? The utilities offer?
Targeted for $450+/mo on utilities, get 10% statement credit up to $50 for nov/dec/jan. Utilities being.. "classified as merchants that provide electricity, gas (natural or propane), home heating oil, water system supply services, collection and disposal of refuse, or the delivery of cable or satellite television or radio programming on a subscription or fee basis."
I got this offer too, but with 10x points.
Any suggestions on how to possibly spend $350 on utilities in a month?
Overpay your electric bill.
Not all companies allow that. Unless your bills are high, it's hard to hit that mark. Now, come winter and heating, maybe it'd be a bit closer :)
Does anyone know if spending by an authorized user also counts towards meeting the spending requirement?
I’ll add extra confirmation. Yes AU spending counts. My husband is my AU and it’s basically the only card in his wallet now.
lol. I have to do the same with my spouse.
Yes, spending by AU counted (toward the requirement.)
Targeted for: spend $350+/mo on anything, get 10% statement credit up to $40 for nov/dec/jan.
Does anyone know if these offers stack with e.g. $75/150 credit on $500/1000 gas/grocery/dining offer? edit: should've just rtfa... But nice!
