Analysis
The name of the game here is the Sears e-Gift card. Sears physical gift cards somehow code as coming from Kmart so those won’t work, but buying an e-Gift card or even reloading an existing e-Gift card should trigger this offer. Thus, you are getting 20%+ off gift cards at Sears which is very nice, but it has the potential to get better.
Portals have been known to possibly payout for e-Gift card purchases and reloads at Sears. It isn’t guaranteed, but probably is worth a shot. Greg the Frequent Miler is running an experiment so stay tuned for the results. He has already confirmed that buying and reloading e-Gift cards triggers the “Congratulations” email from Amex.
Conclusion
This is a great deal and one that I think many people could benefit from taking advantage of. The cards can be sold for 84-86% meaning there is the potential to make a few bucks as well as credit card rewards. You can of course also use them to save with Sears and don’t forget 100% back in points deals. I wouldn’t plan to hold on to them for too long due to the company’s financial situation, but I will still be buying. How about you?

My order being reviewed as well.
Mine was cancelled…
Anybody tried loading existing physical GCs?
I have done it often, but my orders always go into verification and I have to call to talk with someone.
Sears is reviewing my order. I wonder if this is due to the influx of e-gift card orders.
This is fairly normal for them unfortunately. I haven’t purchased a gift card in the past few years without having my order go through the verification process.
