No Payments/ No Interest Offer
This offer applies to electronics purchases over $399 after discounts and coupons are applied. The purchase has to be paid in full within 12 months. This offer is not valid with Sears Commercial One and Sears Home Improvement Account Accounts. This is a deferred interest option, which means if you don’t pay off the balance in 12 months the interest accrues and will be added to your account. This can also take place if you default on your account.

Sears Card APR’s
Your APRs may vary each billing based on changes to the prime rate. The purchase APR equals the Prime Rate plus 17.15%. The cash access APR equals the Prime Rate plus 18.15%. The default APR equals the Prime Rate plus up to 22.15%.

If you default under any card agreement you have with us because you do not make the minimum payment when due, go over the credit line, or make a payment to us that is not honored, all your APRs may automatically increase to the default APR. We set your default APR by reviewing (1) the seriousness of your default with us and (2) your credit history.

Sears Choice Rewards
You earn points for eligible dollars spent and charged to your Sears MasterCard card. Everyday purchases gasoline, groceries, and drugstore items, plus all of your Sears and Kmart purchases,will earn you points. Once you reach 2,500 points you can start redeeming them. You can redeem for travel discounts beginning at 10,000 Points and redeem 25,000 Points for one round-trip coach ticket
