Note: Savings Coupon offers are valid in all stores

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.

Pokemons actually is a pretty complicated game if you're trying to grind out the best stats for the pokemons.

they're fun games but if you play one you've played them all.
 
I'm sorry upfront but to me bitching about 17.50 is just stupid. i as I'm sure many of you have wasted much more on dumber things.. just my 2 cents.. the deal is fantastic and the best option out there. i may just grab them both for the nephews...
 
[quote name='handsome_bitch']I agree with bretfav. I needed just one copy and everyone here kept begging josh for a deal on both. So those of us who needed one get hosed this time around. Telling us to sell a copy on ebay, is stupid. With the amount of copies available on ebay, youd simply get back the amount you paid extra after fees and shipping. Not worth the time. This time around, we miss out on a deal. Ill live, but ive already preorder at amazon.[/QUOTE]
I don't think everyone was "begging" for a B1G1HO deal on both, but many of us were speculating that it would be. Furthermore, your insinuation that this deal would still somehow be all our fault is flawed for a number of pretty obvious reasons:

1. Nintendo specifically placed limitations on the deals Josh could do.
2. The SYWR team denied him the bonus point offer he wanted to do originally, IIRC.
3. The deal was made before any of the posts you're referring to, because it took time to get approved.
4. Josh apparently ran this promotion before for the previous versions, IIRC.

Pointing the finger at everyone else and stamping your feet about it just seems rather silly when you think those points through.
 
I still think its a good deal, i was planning to buy both versions at some point either way. (Whether i got both at Launch, or one down the line)

Would be a bit dumb to expect Nintendo to let one of thier biggest launches of the year go for THAT cheap.

K-Mart has definately earned my business lately, and will in the future (Namely Pokemon, Yakuza 4, and possibly Homefront)
 
[quote name='elessar123'] But Pokemon, a deep RPG? Really?[/QUOTE]

The battle and stat systems are really, really complex. Elements like breeding pokemon for superior stats and to cultivate ones with movesets that are only available through specific parentage add depth to the game that the kids who play them may never realize.

Compare it to Dragonquest IX. Both games offer a fun story that leads you through a series of events. You're able to customize a party to take on the individual challenges, or you can level past them and breeze through. Both games have a final battle. And then both games expand into a much larger world that at least triples the content of the game that was the basic story. Now, there's reason to min/max your numbers and party cohesion, and there are challenges and rewards that go well beyond the initial offering.

Yes, Pokemon is a deep RPG. You can play the main story and consider yourself done, or you can immerse yourself in the endgame content. Both approaches are wonderfully fulfilling.

Josh was gonna do whatever promo he was gonna do anyway. Considering that it's exactly the same as last year, I think everyone"begging" josh to do a B1G1HO having any effect is exaggerated.

Also, I thought you were very good at selling on ebay?
 
[quote name='FINALBOSS']You won't receive the points if you didn't opt in before the purchase. You better have e-mailed Josh about your purchase with a picture of your receipt and all the needed information and I'm sure he'll honor the deal for you. But if you rely on the system catching up and giving you the points you'd be mistaken.[/QUOTE]

Hmmm...I wouldn't have done that because I had no idea that I needed to do that. I read the FAQ before I went to buy the game and there wasn't anything about having to be a member and be opted in BEFORE your purchase to get the SYWR points. On top of that, I only keep my receipts long enough to make sure my games work, so I have no idea where the thing is now.

I hope you're wrong about having to opt-in before the purchase to get the points. If that's really the case, that's a really unfortunate way for K-Mart to do things, considering that many people (such as myself) open up a SYWR account to take advantage of these offers in the first place.

There are three examples of it being posted. Not finding it in the FAQ isn't just a bad excuse, it's a downright lie. It has been in the FAQ for nearly 3 weeks.

It's also in the SYWR terms and conditions when you sign up for a card, that in order to receive the bonus points you have to be opted in for their emails. This has been the case with SYWR for months (long before the Feb 6th date that they started enforcing that).

It's not a lie at all. Unless, somehow, what's on your screen reads differently than this:

"As of Feb 6th, to earn SYWR bonuses a member has to have a valid email address on their profile and opted in."

I did read that before I made my purchase. Because I read it, I went home as soon as I got done buying the game and opted in. Are you saying that it clearly states that you must be a SYWR member and opt in BEFORE making the purchase you want the bonus points for?

I referenced having read that in my posts. My particular question of whether it matters if I opt in before a purchase beforehand or thirty minutes after a purchase is not clearly addressed in that excerpt. After hearing that it works that way now, I can read that and see how that can be the case. Why would I think that would be the case beforehand, though? So if I see the deal on CAG and go in, I can't just sign up at the register for the program, buy my game and opt in as soon as I get home? That's just not very convenient. Under that reasoning, I'd have to have gone, signed up for the program, opted in, then gone back to buy the game. I live forty minutes away from my nearest K-Mart.

The SYWR terms and conditions? Riiiight. Because I stopped the customer service lady as she was signing me up so that I could read them all word for word, just in case I was missing some aspect of the program that was going to cost me $25. Again, this is not an issue of my crying foul because I didn't know I had to opt in. It's a matter of not realizing that not opting in before my purchase would cost me the bonus. I'm not trying to prove that K-Mart is some nefarious villain trying to screw me, here.

Also, it's irrelevant to my particular situation if it has "been this way for months", since I said in my original post that I just joined the program on the 19th when I bought the game.

I often do keep receipts for my games. I have some three year old games where the receipt is still behind the booklet because I simply forgot to throw it away. However, I only do this to ensure the game will work when I first play it, since no store is going to accept a returned video game that has been opened unless it isn't working properly. And even then, why would you purposefully keep your receipt for a year? Particularly when no one's return policy is that long? Since when is that a "general rule"? I'm more likely to vote for b) Something you just made up.

I don't recall saying that it was anyone else's fault that I can't locate my receipt. I also don't recall asking you specifically for help, since I've seen you be unnecessarily rude to posters in this thread on other occasions. Of course, it's not as if you helped, anyway. You just pointed me to the same sentence in the FAQ that I've already seen a dozen times. Take your snark elsewhere, please.

He's got a file full of receipts in order of purchase date, as well as a backup file of xeroxed copies in a fire-proof safe just in case. He absent-mindedly flips through them sometimes while he is perusing this thread looking for people to condescendingly reply to.

I especially like the signature: Wow! Impressive! You post a lot in the K-Mart deals thread! The exasperated tone in it (he "apparently" plays a Kmart CSR) is so impressive. It's as if he is doing us all a favor, with each little sigh he lets out as he addresses our ignorant queries. Nevermind the fact that no one is ever asking *him* a question; he just butts in and gives his own two cents. The second line about PMing him is so bad-ass, too. I'll bet he has absolutely no self esteem issues, was never bullied in school and lives a balanced, healthy life when not "playing a Kmart CSR" here.

It's implied. Doesn't explicitly say it...but that's certainly what it means. As of Feb6th you need to be a SYWR member and be opted in to e-mails in order to receive any deals from that date.

As I said earlier though...just e-mail Josh and I'm sure he'll give you the points anyways.
 
Picked up the last Castlevania Lords Of Shadow :ps3: copy for 29.99 but my copy does not have the free downloadable Castlevania Symphony of the Night sticker on it? Did anyone get a copy with the sticker on it?
 
FWIW, I generally keep my game receipts in the game cases. It's interesting years later to go back and see where and when I bought games and for how much. My SNES, for example, was purchased at Venture. Anyone remember Venture?

But, yeah. Saving receipts doesn't hurt.

You're right, it is. I should have figured that I'd have to have that all taken care of in advance to qualify. I wish that we could opt in during the sign-up process at the register or something. I just figured since points from loyalty programs never seem to post instantly anyway, my opting in right after I got home from making the purchase wouldn't have caused any problems.

I did e-mail Josh, we'll see what happens.

Yeah, so do I...like I said, some of my two and three year old games have old receipts in them to this day, because I forget about them. It's just that in this case, I left it in the bag, played the game right away and since it worked fine, never remembered to dig the receipt out. Unfortunately, empty bags and what not don't last in my place for long without getting thrown out by my wife...

You do in fact have to be opted in before hand to to receive bonus offers. The system does not act retrospectively on its own. I'm not thrilled with the new parameters either to be honest. Email spamming seems against the whole customer loyalty initiative in my book.

I'm sure we can work something out based on an honest mistake.
 
[quote name='confoosious']This is how 99% of things work. You can't crash the rental car and then go back and tell them you meant to get the CDW.[/QUOTE]

Fair enough. However, most rewards programs don't have a separate, way better rewards program tucked inside that require you to perform an action online before you make a qualifying purchase. As I said before, what about those of us who are signing up for the first time when we make said qualifying purchase?

At the time, I didn't realize that the bonus program is an addition to the rewards program itself. I thought they were one and the same, and as long as I opted in before my points posted, I'd be fine. That's a little different than your rather extreme example of crashing a rental car and wanting to retroactively purchase insurance.

I know you guys probably took a chance on Two Worlds 2 because the publisher worked out that $40 deal but this seems to be a similarly niche western style RPG.

Josh, when I visited the Oxon Hill, MD Kmart (whose store # I don't know, unfortunately), I noticed that the electronics section didn't have a visible area/table set up for the recent clearance drops, unlike every other Kmart I've been to recently. I know you said that the stores had a week to set up displays after the drops, so I felt I should give you a heads-up.
 
[quote name='JustYourAverageJoe']

1. Nintendo specifically placed limitations on the deals Josh could do. The Poke police are tough but they do allow me more freedom on the blog since they do not help fund it directly. They actually were more strict about the Megatim81 pictures than the offer.
2. The SYWR team denied him the bonus point offer he wanted to do originally, IIRC. This is the biggest factor. I had planned a $15 coupon or SYWR offer but both were not options. Since gift cards do not work for us due to internal reasons the fall back offer was the BOGO.
3. The deal was made before any of the posts you're referring to, because it took time to get approved. The fall back plan from the direct software offer was always the bogo, I was just fighting for the direct offer as much as possible and had to wait for final approvals, or lack there of from the SYWR finance side.
4. Josh apparently ran this promotion before for the previous versions, IIRC. Funny thing is that the BOGO last year was our BEST performing offer last March. We ran a direct Pokemon offer per sku and it did not due as well as the combo.

That said I think it is always better to pinpoint value in a direct way instead of BOGO's. More of a personal merchandising philosophy than anything else as I think it allows for the most consumer flexibility. The BOGO though as far as value is concerned is definitely the strongest value offer for launch though that I have seen.

Yes! Any Pokemon game including White.

The bundle offer is technically the best offer, it just has the highest entry price.

Overall, the bundles will be allocated and only a few per store. Would have bought more but Nintendo only built so much.

What will it mean for the 3DS (system and games) launch offer(s) if Nintendo is a little strict in terms of what you can offer? Hopefully the coupons will triumphantly return then, but will the value be lower because of Nintendo's influence (e.g. a $10 coupon w/ 3DS purchase)?

Of course, I realize that asking now might be a little preemptive, but I thought I should throw out the question now. ^_^;;;
 
[quote name='bretfav']There don't seem to be many unhappy people about this Pokemon deal. While this is a great deal for those wanting 2 copies, it does nothing for those that only want one.

Even at $5 off I would've bought at Kmart to support Josh, who I know had his hands somewhat tied by the sewers.[/QUOTE]
My goal was to hit $15 per title. Based on my options at hand though my only play was the BOGO to hit a similar value.

The coupon system makes its triumphant return for the 3DS launch :)

I've had to frame the ad very particularly as it had to go through three proofs with Nintendo in order for it not to break MAP. Once you see it in the circular itself, it will make sense.

I was creative with the page layout in order to preserve Nintendo's brand integrity while offering our consistent value statement.

I was creative with the page layout in order to preserve Nintendo's brand integrity while offering our consistent value statement.[/QUOTE]Awesome; I've got my fingers crossed for a terrific deal (at this point, depending on reviews, I'd either get only one game--Samurai Warriors Chronicles--with the 3DS at launch or wait until the killer apps come out later).

I have a couple of other unrelated questions, if you don't mind my asking:

1) Do you have any plans down the road for a Dissidia[012] duodecim deal (i.e. Dissidia: Final Fantasy 2)? Sure, it's a PSP title, but it will be releasing at a $29.99 price point...

2) Is there any possibility of a Borderlands GotY deal in the near future? Having it on sale at $19.99 would be amazing! :bouncy:

Thanks as always for your continued diligence. :D
 
[quote name='akathatoneguy']It's not a lie at all. Unless, somehow, what's on your screen reads differently than this:

"As of Feb 6th, to earn SYWR bonuses a member has to have a valid email address on their profile and opted in."[/QUOTE]

Read the second link (to post #7). Underneath the Kmart Customer FAQ (which, by the way, I wrote, except for the minor changes that Josh made), you will see this:
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.
Click to expand...
Either way, no point in arguing this. Josh is willing to fix it, although he doesn't have to.

[quote name='akathatoneguy']He's got a file full of receipts in order of purchase date, as well as a backup file of xeroxed copies in a fire-proof safe just in case. He absent-mindedly flips through them sometimes while he is perusing this thread looking for people to condescendingly reply to.[/QUOTE]
How.. cute, I guess is what you're aiming for. I keep all of my receipts until the item's return period and warranty have passed. I used to keep a lot of these items in a 3 ring binder (order confirmations and such), but currently am a bit disorganized because I keep them in a drawer in a nightstand. I plan to go back to the 3 ring binder thing though. It worked really great and was easy to sort through.

[quote name='akathatoneguy'] I'll bet he has absolutely no self esteem issues, was never bullied in school and lives a balanced, healthy life when not "playing a Kmart CSR" here.[/QUOTE]
Funny enough, I actually don't have self-esteem issues, wasn't bullied in school, and I do live a great life, aside from the fact it's full of the wonderful cuisine of a college student. Thankfully, I actually don't like pizza and I don't drink alcohol, so that's probably helping a bit. :D

[quote name='confoosious']This is how 99% of things work. You can't crash the rental car and then go back and tell them you meant to get the CDW.[/QUOTE]
I have to wonder, why do people just sign up for things without reading the terms of what they're signing up for? The terms & conditions of the SYWR program pretty clearly say that you have to have an email on file and opted-in to the Sears HC emails in order to get the SYWR bonuses. It's said this as long as I can remember, online, in the SYWR-related emails, and in the store sign up packet's T&C.



Another thing: As has been said multiple times, if you have an issue with me, add me to your ignore list.

For me, Super Street Fighter is the title to beat. Maybe Rayman as well.

Thanks as always for your continued diligence. :D[/QUOTE] My pleasure :)
 
[quote name='bzchanboy']Hey josh just wanted to say I've patiently waited for Bulletstorm from store #4349 but they still don't have it on store shelves. I was wondering if you could kindly check up on whats going on with that store. I wanted to get a few copies for the ultimate coop experience.[/QUOTE]

I did! Thank you very much. I did already have them but I'll definitely pass them on.

By chance did you email me the store already? I'm sorry it's just so hard for me to keep it all straight :)
 
I did but I think it might have gotten middled into the mess thats all been going on. That or I need to get the whip out on Comcast's service!

The store in question is #4349 Redwood City Ca
