I have bought Lands End stuff from Chase Ultimate Reward Mall because of 8x bonus points. Nothing posted after 2 months, not even pending. Chase graciously credited my account with the measly 200 pts missing.
I have bought Sears from BA shopping portal on July 29. 5 claims filed later, I still dont see any transaction posted other than the click history that showed up more than 6 weeks after initial purchase. Meantime, the 4x bonus point changed to 1 pt only. Oh, during the change over, Sears completely dropped off the pull down menu of merchants when you try to file a claim...
I have bought Sears from IHG's PriorityClub Mall again to test the 8x bonus points - again, nothing shows after almost 2 months now.
Not to mention the potential hassle dealing with return stuff to Sears that is not bought from Sears and hope the return info somehow got transmitted to Lands End...
Good luck to those who try. You may wound up have a tons of time / effort spent for nothing posted, and then still have to deal with the potential headache to get the refund...
On the other hand, Lands End's own CS dept dealing with online purchase is pretty good in case there is issues such as ship-to address mysteriously changed to wrong street number! (Happened to me once).
Actually I have bought stuff on Sale from Lands End Canvas 2 x in the last year , pre FT and just because I liked the quality, and price .
I guess I could buy stuff in an emergency to meet a spending deadline, via their site as opposed to Sky Miles. My only problem is I would probably not want to return the stuff LOL
Guess I could buy $1k and return the $800 or so of stuff I might need, want.
Just an emergency deadline in meeting a spend thought , not going to make a practice of it .
