Hello. Is there an app that shows rewards for Sears Citi Thank you Points card? It is always just a lump monthly sum and I would like to try to figure out what is qualifying for promos.
Thanks

But does that only apply if you used Plastiq to pay for a utility bill?
Or just anything using Plastiq?
Anything Plastiq (at least it has for me so far)

3) 750 spend online - supposedly 7500 TYP
Bumping so we have TYP activity since the thread was overrun with syw posts amd many pages.
syw should have been its own thread, as it now Sears TYP needs its own thread so its not lost and completely forgotten.

I hit the 2k spend threshold for TYP GGR Jan and Feb and my post date is in 3 days.. If neither of those post TYP Im not going the extra mile to hit the 2k for march. Ill use my amex bc pref 6% for anything over $1000 for GGR. Ive fought these idiots before (they still owe me $400 in TYP that ill never see) and got 3 people saying one thing, 3 saying another, and 3 being just too plain stupid to even understand the problem. Their goal is to frustrate you and get you off the phone. Only company ive dealt with who has worse CS was tracfone.

Edit: TYP card... the $50/$300 one time statement credit posted to my account 6 days after the $300 spend...it didnt follow the same posting rules as TYP.. The last time I got a statement credit offer was 2021--5% statement credit single purchases of 549 or more.. 2020 I got $10 statement credit purchase of $50 or more in OCT, $100 statement credit spend 750 or more in NOV, and 5% statement credit single purchases of 549 or more q4.. maybe this is a sign of good times...

My latest TYP statement closed and I got 20K bonus TYP.. Not sure what the exact makeup of that is but 10k HAS to be GGR: If it had been 30k i would felt like they were just running a month behind the latest norm on GGR but who knows-- they prob dont...and i KNOW front line CS doesn't.

Outstanding uncredited promos prior to the 20k posting:

1/17-2/14 10k pts due (spend $1000 online) >$1k spent (2 big verified retailer .com purchases so no question)

jan GGR 20k pts due (>$2k spent)
feb GGR 20k pts due (>$2k spent)

well find out in a week if feb ggr posts the same day as Jan ggr
Half right--- I got the TYP credit for JAN GGR spending on 3/11.

Got a Citi email for a $10-paid survey today about the Sears Card:

This question was kinda funny.

I don't understand why they just don't close Sears down for good and rebrand our cards.

Anyone else with the TYP card(s) have trouble with thankyou.com dropping their bank account when doing a direct deposit to cash out? I also have premier and professional in my TY acct. At first about a year ago- my bank disappeared from the dropdown but i could readd it through plaid.... now i cant even readd it.. Actually it acts like it readds it after sign in verification but then its not in the dropdown still...so I cant process the DD... Ive even tried a different bank and that gives same result.. Ive been resorting to getting paper checks. This isn't 2010 anymore. I haven't called as they are semi-clueless when I've called for tech issues in the past. Wondering if this is an isolated issue.

TYP

Question : sounds like you cash out your TYP. Do you find that better than transferring to travel partners? Currently just accumulating points and don't have Premier but thinking about getting it. Appreciate any insight.

I don't travel so cash is my best option in today's economy. Ive sold airline miles to brokers years ago and am done with that....I have cashed out to sale gc once in a while.. I did 100k apple gc during the BF/CM points deals which was decent but ended up with apple gc for 3 years....years ago (15ish) they let you cash out 1:1 to student loan or mortgage without a premier type card...
