UPDATE: PREVIOUS THREAD WENT WAYY OFF TOPIC - Lets try to keep this one focused on getting free appliances via the "kenmore challenge"!
Sears stores have something called the "PRICE CHALLENGE" as advertised in their sale papers...if you can find a better deal on featured products in their ad, you get the cost of the item in the form of a Sears Gift Check! Recently they have offered some electronics, but mainly appliances.
All you need to do is find a COMPARABLE (need not be same brand) item with the same or more features at a better price somewhere else! Granted, this is pretty difficult, but possible places to find a better deal are:
Bestbuy
Lowe's
Home Depot
I did this recently and got a FREE WATER HEATER!! They arent currently offering the challenge on the water heater,,this week I believe the items in my title are the featured KENMORE CHALLENGE items. When I got the water heater, I asked if anyone else had taken advantage of their guarantee and they said no! Has anyone else on here taken the KENMORE CHALLENGE???
Please, lets keep this thread intelligent and eliminate stupid questions, heres some anticipated answers:
1. You need to meet a specific set of features for each model to "beat" the challenge. The info is available ONLY in the stores, they have a little checklist you can take to comparison shop. Not all stores even have this info, as apparently few people have ever taken the "challenge".
You can begin the search for better deals by looking at a Sears ad to find the types of items and prices you must try to beat...
2. You need to BUY the item, then present the better deal. You can return the item later and keep the Gift Check.
3. The "challenge" items are advertised IN THE SUNDAY SEARS SALE PAPER!! From there you can see what appliances qualify...But you often need to go to the store to find the exact specs of the item which must be beat...some stores have a "checklist", others do not...if anyone gets one of the checklists, post it!
