Coming Soon:

Update: Submitting Feb./Mar. offers as SYWR promotions. Will post as soon as they are approved. At the end of Mar. the coupon issue will be fixed and we'll go back to normal. For Feb . SYWR offers, there will be limit 2 per customer (the SYWR card will limit bonuses systematically).

As of Feb 6th, to earn SYWR bonuses a member has to have a valid email address on their profile and opted in before purchasing an item with a bonus offer. This has been communicated to members through SYWR emails and in the circular along with new signage indicating to receive bonus offers they have to have a valid email address on file and opted in to receive email. Opting in to receive SYWR bonus offers is not too bad: .

1. Log in to your account online
2. Click "My offers"
3. Click "More about me"
4. Scroll down to contact preferences
5. Click the boxes to receive email from (I suggest all for tomorrow). I'll post if you just have to accept Kmart in the future.


*This list is not comprehensive of every promotion that may be coming and release dates are subject to change.

[quote name='SHC-Gamer']I found out late this afternoon that the guns are held up in transit for Sony and won't be hitting retail stores unitl mid March.[/QUOTE]

[quote name='jedijeff']I was hoping for a KZ3 bundle/offer that would include the playstation move sharp shooter. Or maybe a sharp shooter and navigation controller bundle. Either would be sweet.

So if the Move Sharpshooter is the gun referred to here (post 3012 and quoted above), then I think it is delayed. I do agree that a BOGO with the Move would have been nice.
 
[quote name='DomLando']Can we get the skus for Bulletstorm and Killzone 3? I usually need this now because my local Kmart has decided not to put out new releases lately.[/QUOTE]
You're probably looking for the UPCs? If so Newegg is good for finding them. Just go to newegg, search for a game, and look at the model #. That's probably the UPC.

Bulletstorm PS3: 014633194579
Bulletstorm Xbox: 014633194586

Killzone 3: 711719823421
Helghast: 711719828426
 
Josh you probably cant say anything even if you do know but I've heard there's going to be a PS3 price drop within a couple months...any info on that? A :whistle2:# or a :) or a :cry: would do as a response!

LOL, I am under a Non Disclosure Agreement with Sony on matters of pricing, strategy and media.

That said, I honestly do not know of anything in the works. I do find it odd that they are pushing the $50 gift card and/free w/game purchases. They would not be doing that if there was not "room" to operate with. Whenever you see this type of activity it is usually a test of the market and/or a precursor to some type of move. I could see them repositioning for holiday but not sooner. Just a personal opinion based on market conditions, not anything from them.
 
I was not actively checking email this weekend due to my son's birthday but I see that I received a very good amount of messages from everyone. I'll do my best to catch up this evening.

There is actually a well respected CAG that will be writing the blog so as soon as he is done I'll post the deal as to not steal his thunder :)
 
They have told me this morning that points will take throughout the week for some members to post but that all should be this Saturday.

That being said, if anyone wants to wait until their points post before buying Killzone 3 or Bulletstorm I will honor the offers post expiration via gift card if you want to roll the savings.

That's a nice touch. Would be cool to see that continuing into the future. Nothing excites a community like involvement.

Also, just wanted to add that I got the gift card from the TDU2 points error. Thanks again for taking care of it. It's really appreciated. :bouncy: Very much so. Enslaved, here I come! Cheers!

[quote name='mgford11']disregard - I think the mlb 11 offer changed overnight from $10 to $15. I think that's my tipping point![/QUOTE]
I'll do my best, the reasons the offers vary so much is more due to budgetary constraints with SYWR vs. anything else.

dang, this hurts. if I got an email from from kmart, including my receipt for my MvC3 purchase, does that mean Im correctly signed up SYWR online account? and I think I read this earlier, but whenever the MvC3 $25 hits the account the money will be good for storewide use, I just tell the cashier to pull it from my SYWR card?

Me too, only one more month before old reliable coupons come back. I'll only do SYWR past March if I absolutely have to.

I would love to know the deal too. I just sent him my rough draft.
I attended one of the mall tour events yesterday, and wanted to include that experience.

does anyone know when will we receive the 25,000 points from buying marvel vs capcom 3? I bought one last Tuesday and I still haven't receive the points yet. I would like to use that $25 credit toward the purchase of killzone 3 tomorrow.

Just reading it now, looks amazing.

Heads up to all, Nintendo has asked me not to post the offer until Wednesday afternoon.

Pretty sure if you bought the game last Tuesday, with your card, you should have gotten the points that day or within a day. From Wednesday on, the points were put on hold for the remainder of the week.
 
Gah! I was in Kmart on Saturday and couldn't find anything to spend my $10 GC on so I bought my daughter some earrings. If only I had waited a day, I could have got Enslaved for only $5.

Theres one in Chula Vista and San Ysidro. I got the last Enslaved copy at Chula Vista for PS3 but i dont know about XBOX.
 
[quote name='FINALBOSS']I wish I could say I was surprised about the MvC3 points being delayed even more.[/QUOTE]
I know it totally sucks but technically I only said "next week" which is still happening according to the team. It is not good enough at all, very upset with the whole program.
 
Was hoping to have the MvC3 points to put towards Bulletstorm but oh well. My next game will be covered almost entirely by SYWR points and a gift card.
 
might have to try out Enslaved (anyone know which version has more "market value" in case I don't like?) and pick up de Blob 2 on Wii or DS.

has anyone ever exchanged a game for another console version? thinking of doing that for mvc3

oh and Josh, how can we be a part of the user generated content?!
 
[quote name='W0lfRHart']so will kmart have bulletstorm on shelves tomorro or do I have to wait til wed[/QUOTE]

It's street dated so it should be in the stores' backrooms now unless there was a shipping problem. Actually being on the shelves tomorrow is another story...

Wait, is one version of MvC3 inferior over another?

Also, off-topic: What's Enslaved even like? What makes it worth the $15? Is there a superior console version?

OT, Josh, how many copies of BS: Epic Edition did each K-mart get? Will there be enough to last until the MvC3 points come through?

  • 1-21 An issue was uncovered in which SYWR members were receiving both their coupon from the regular receipt and a digital version that could be copied multiple times. This led to honest customers redeeming multiple coupons and dishonest customers the ability to produce many of the coupons. We are working on a fix to this issue. The timing for unique one-time-use coupons is the end of March for the 3DS launch. The TBD offers listed in the coming soon section have all been proposed as SYWR reward points offers in which I am awaiting approvals for. Once I receive more information I will post the deals as they become processed.
  • 2-1 There is a survey in the OP that is for our current plans for a multitude of concepts for our new Kmartgamer.com website. There will be a few paid focus groups for those that are screened and selected from this survey. Regardless of whether you are selected in the paid focus group, after we go through the initial rounds I will hold a CAG feedback session later on (unpaid) for anyone that is interested. More details to come.
  • 2-4 As of Feb 6th, to earn SYWR bonuses a member has to have a valid email address on their profile and opted in. This has been communicated to members through SYWR emails and in the circular along with new signage indicating to receive bonus offers they have to have a valid email address on file and opted in to receive email.
  • 2-10 We will be launching new test stores in the Chicagoland area on a more customer friendly and easy access merchandising strategy that we will provide more information closer to E3.
  • 2-16 As of this morning 2-16, when purchasing Marvel vs. Capcom 3 the 25,000 SYWR bonus points will not appear on your receipt. However, the deal is definitely active and the points will post on your account next week due to a system issue we are attempting to resolve. If for some reason your points do not post shoot me a pic of your receipt, mailing address and SYWR reward # and we'll work it out immediately.

When will the points post for Capcom 3 25,000 points,You said next week and its 1 week since the offer was valid

It doesn't say 1 week bud, it says "next week."

I am 100% on board with the timing not being appropriate but unfortunately I cannot control when the points post this week.

I believe we over bought the 360 version so we should be good. I fully expect to be above 98% instock at the end of the week. Similar to MvC3.

this week is a heck of a lot better then in 2 or 3 weeks. and the points can be used anywhere in store correct?
 
Just picked up :360: Enslaved and had a pretty good experience. Went into store 7358 Goodlettsville and all of the sales tags were out and all of the sale titles easily viewable. My only complaint was having to go to customer service to get an employee paged to electronics but that is more of a company wide issue than a store issue. When I told the associate I wanted Enslaved he mentioned that it was on sale for 14.99 so he was knowledgeable about the sales.

The only real complaint I have is an issue with the case. The case seems smaller than most K-Marts I have been in and all of the titles are faced out so if the game is older than a couple weeks then it is buried in the back of the case and you have to try and read the post-it notes that are showing what the titles are in the back.
 
I've been to about 3 Kmarts since the clearance drop and it's funny seeing all the clearance games out on the floor with signage. Finally there's breathing room in the glass cases.

I imagine the store associates taking pictures of the setup to please the overlords at SHC.
 
*sigh* Well, it looks like Bionic Commando :)360:) is rarer than I thought--I couldn't find a single copy at any of the 4 Kmarts near me (Frederick and Hagerstown, MD; Waynesboro, PA; Springfield, VA), and they all had pretty well-organized clearance sections/bins. :???:
