The Citi Sears Shop frequently has spending offers where you earn a category bonus for online purchases. Reader Lyte has asked if we would do a community resource where people can ask post what did/didn’t work for them.

Any DPs on what CVS codes as?
I’ve spent $600+ so far on Amazon and just received the update email showing $0 has been eligible. Has anyone experienced this? Or has Amazon been removed from the approved list?
Amazon works just fine. The progress emails are crap and usually don’t show me any activity despite definitely making eligible purchases, including Amazon, and then I still get the credit/points.
Thanks!
Paying using the QR reader on Publix app will count as online+grocery when checking out
Received an email this morning stating how much more spend was needed to earn the bonus. “Congratulations…You’re closer to earning your 250,000 Bonus Shop Your Way Points”
thought I saw a comment that there was no tracker, but I see it’s mentioned on this page a few times
Walmart Pay was declined on a visa GC. Anyone else? Used physical card and it went thru.
It declined a few times for me as well. I think adding some random grocery item along with the visa purchase always works for me.
I was able to do it on 6/19 at self-check. slightly under 500 including some additional random crap.
update: I removed the card and readded to app, plus only loaded $400 this time, and WP went thru fine. not sure which change (if either) fixed it
update2: WP didn’t work again. physical card ok. gotta get the ggr spend in anyway, but it would be nice to get online spend taken care of for free
Does anyone know of any merchants that would trigger the 5x on gas stations that would also include online spend?
GiftofCollege (GoC) digital gift card direct from GoC counted as online purchase per email midway through promotion.
Okay, I gave it a shot. Let’s hope it works!
has anyone tried paying with applepay at safeway supermarket? if so did it count as online? I made my online number this month but may try this noxt month but didnt want to waste my time if it has already been proven not to work
I haven’t been able to ever add this card to Apple Pay so doubt it.
giftcards.com works
It worked directly on giftcards.com and when I paid using Paypal.
PayPal purchases didn’t work. You might have to input card info manually to get qualified as an online purchase.
250000 points posted as soon as I left the comment. Spent over 2K using PayPal from clothing stores and rep fitness.
