I got the same this morning. Vexatiously, it started 2/1/20, and they didn't email it out to any of us to roughly now. And I've had some travel spend, so I could have put on the Sears card....but as others have noted the travel protections are so bad / weak on this card that even with the plus points it's not always worth it. I'd rather book an airfare with a card which has trip delay than sears for a more pts, especially since you have to spend $500+/mo to get it, when the others will give you the coverage even on a $49 fare if that's the only qualifying travel spend in the month. However one good thing- Sears seems to have a generous definition of 'Travel' , esp compared to some other issuers.
