Update: I registered for this rewards card today and it says it is not in the system for 72 hours. If I were you, I would not wait until too close to doubles to register. You just never know with Kmart, so better safe than sorry. You get a temporary card to print and one in the mail.

Looks like Kmart isn’t going to make this easy. I just got an update from Kmart. It looks like you are going to have to have a Shop Your Way Rewards card to participate and it will be tied to your card. Maximum of 5 coupons a day. Honestly, I probably won’t participate with 5 coupons because of how far my Kmart is.

The rules for this event are as follows:

-Offer dates:  04/04-04/10

-Manufacturer Coupons up to and including $2 value will be doubled

-In-store Activation MUST BE tied to your Shop Your Way to Rewards card

-Does not include Kmart Store Coupons

-Does not include Kmart Pharmacy Store Coupons

-Limit 5 total coupons per customer per day

-First 5 coupons provided by customer will be doubled

Does anyone have a Rewards Card?  You can get more information here about the card.

I made a quick trip to Kmart. I ended up with a profit

I had several of the Dry Idea coupons leftover from the last round of printables.

Here is how it went:

(2) Hartz Crunch & Clean used $2.00/1 Printable FREE

(1) Listerine used $2.00/1 FREE

(2) Secret Deodrant used $2.00/1 from Kmart Book FREE

(1) Cascade Rinse FREE coupon from Home Made Simple

(2) Natures Source used $1.00/1 peelies FREE

(2) Dry Idea Clinical used $2.00/1 printables  $1.00 each

(1) Dry Idea used $2.00 printable FREE

Paid 3.06 including taxes

Got $5.00 OYNO coupon for purchasing the Dry Idea and FREE Milkbone Catalina

Net: $1.94 MM!!

I made my first trip to Kmart today.  I met a nice pair of ladies who had traveled from Maryland to PA because their stores don’t double. My kind of gals!

A couple observations:

- I bought Hartz Crunch Clean Dog bones and out popped a catalina for Free Milkbones – which are $3.49. Not to bad.

- There were $1.00 peelies all over the place for the Nature’s Source products that were $2.00, making them free.

-Rice Krispies was included in the $5.00 rebate. Sweet!

-The Scrubbing Bubbles Toliet Gel is in a box. If only I had looked at the picture on the coupon, I wouldn’t have wasted so much time!

- Take your spouse with you, even if they moan and complain. It’s so much more worth 20 coupons!

So heres how it went for me:

I just got a great email from Skye M., the Kmart coupon doubling queen, who confirmed rumors about Kmart!

Rumor has it that Kmart will be doing doubles again on 07/05 . I will be checking to see if PA is participating this time and report back as soon as I find out.

Skye – are you reading this! Meet you in Ptown?
