The
Shop Your Way Rewards program
is a customer loyalty program at Sears Holdings Corporation
which launched in November of 2009. The purpose of the
Shop Your Way Rewards Billion Points Contest is to bring
attention to the program, while at the same time driving
support for both the charities that Sears Holdings works
closely with and those that are members wish to support.
If I am lucky enough to win this contest, I will be
supporting three of my favorite charities which are
close to my heart. Autism Society of Illinois, St. Judes,
and Juvenile Diabetes Research . My son Conor is on
the autism spectrum and I will be donating a portion
of the winnings to help the Autism Society of Illinois
in whatever way they see fit to use the points.
