Character Beach towels
Need beach towels?! Kmart.com and Sears.com offering up select Kid’s Character Beach Towels for just $8.44 (reg. $12.99). Even sweeter if you’re a Shop Your Way Rewards member, you’ll score $9.22 back in points – essentially making a towel better than free! Choose free in-store pickup if available at a store near you OR score free shipping with a $35+ order.

Where are the points coming from? Through July 23rd, Shop Your Way Members get 5,000 back in points (= $5) when you spend $5 or more on qualifying home items. Points will be awarded a day after your transaction and will expire in 14 days and there is a limit of one per customer. PLUS, Shop Your Way Members will get 50% back in points on qualifying Beach Towels excluding clearance. Points will be redeemable 7/10 through 7/16.

(Thanks, Christine!)

    Dose that mean we can only do this deal once?

    • Cristine

      I had to them as separate transactions, but I was able to do more than one. And I bought ones that were not necessarily the kids ones (you just have to make sure they have the extra points on them).

      • Cristine

        i should add that I am not taking the tags off until the points are awarded. They might only award the points once per account. But according to my transaction receipt, I earned them….

        • Masha

          I did the same yesterday. Hubs picked them up today. But points awarded, only one shows $7.5, the rest are $2.5 (I did the $5.19 towels that were a mm). So I think they won’t credit all of the $5 off $5. How is their customer service if I call in about that? I rarely deal with syw and Kmart.

    All they had in my area was Star Wars, but you can always use more towels, especially free ones! Thanks!

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      You’re welcome Catie!

    Hi all hip2 savers. Wanted to ask a personal question so thought this is the place. What are the options to give as a return gift in a house warming party…… Looking for some ideas…… Thanks in advance😊

    • Pitzersss

      What is a “return gift”?

    • Just Me

      My thanks is good food at the housewarming lol. Maybe a card but not a gift

  6. JaCinda

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      Great gift! YW!

  7. rosi

    Thanks Collin! went in-store and got my daughter a shopkins towel ! She’s going to love it! And I loved it was free 😉

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      How cool! So glad you could snag it for her! You’re most welcome!

  8. Maggie

    I was able to get a $7.99 towell with $9 in points from Sears…shopping Kmart.com for pick-up is so lovely…and then I show up at the store and no one know what to do! I have much better luck at Sears and am hoping it all goes through. Thanks for posting!

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      You’re welcome Maggie!

    I Hate Kmart. I just spent the last 4 hours selecting items and trying to check out to no avail. Chatted with an agent who said she’ll place the order for me than later said ALL the items are no longer I stock😡. The floor supervisor got on the chat and says they’ll give me 5% off one item😡, which one exactly ? You just told me everything I wanted is out of stock. I am beyond mad, I wish there’s a way to get my money/pints back without having to buy anything from this company.
    Vent/rant over. I’m just so upset, what a waste of time. 🌺

    • nicole

      I have had similar bad experiences. I always feel like I am in a bait and lure game with this store. The last 2 online orders I placed were similar to yours. I placed an order because of an email they sent, they canceled it because of stock issue (the other didn’t give me points) and then tried to resell me the same items at a higher price when I called customer care and didn’t seem to understand why I was upset.

      • Luv 🌺

        What is there problem. This is part of why they are closing down, people are tired of all these games, we do have options; it’s just sad for the good employees that loose their jobs due to the company’s bad decisions and awful customer service. Thanks Nicole for ‘listening’ to my vent and understanding. God bless you. 🌺

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      Darn! Sorry to hear how frustrating it was trying to select your items! 🙁

  19. PoorCollegeStudent

    I purchased the dory towel right now but my 9.22 points haven’t kicked in. It says I only have 84 points. Did I do something wrong or will the points come in later??????
    I made an account and everything.

    I purchased it when this was posted, got $5 back in points the next day and then this week got the remaining points for a total of $9 (and some change)! It was expiring this week, so I went and got some stuff today!
