HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill.,
Dec. 7, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Shop
Your Way, a business unit of Sears Holdings (NASDAQ: SHLD), and
Uber Technologies, Inc. have expanded a popular rider rewards
program to 23 new markets. Riders who link their accounts at
shopyourway.com/uber/ride can receive unlimited Shop Your Way
points – up to $2 in points for every
ride with Uber. The more a member rides, the more points they
earn.
Since the program initially launched this fall in New York City and Chicago, more than 10,000 Shop Your Way
members have linked their accounts, earning more than $250,000 in points in just over two months.
Points can be redeemed online or in-store at Sears, Kmart, Lands'
End, or shopyourway.com on a wide array of products, gifts and
popular brands.
"Expanding the program during the holiday season is especially
timely, because we know members are using Uber to shop," said
Leena Munjal, senior vice president,
customer experience and Integrated Retail, Sears Holdings. "In
fact, Black Friday was the biggest points- issuing day in November.
We've had some riders already earn more than $300 in points. We've also had driver-partners
who have earned $1,000 in points in
addition to their Uber earnings."
The 25 markets now featuring the $2 in points for every ride offer are:
- Atlanta
- Boston
- Chicago
- Connecticut*
- Dallas
- Detroit
- Houston
- Las Vegas
- Los Angeles
- Miami
- New Jersey*

Shop Your Way and Uber also launched a sweepstakes that awards a
total of $10,000 in points every
month to riders who have linked their Uber account to Shop Your
Way. Every time they ride, members are automatically registered for
the chance to be one of 1,000 winners.** Plus, Shop Your Way
members who are new to Uber will receive their first trip free, up
to $15, and $5 in points.
"After a successful launch this fall in New York City and Chicago, we're excited to expand the rider
rewards program with Shop Your Way to additional cities," said
Jill Schweitzer, Product Manager at
Uber.

multiple ways, including:

thousands of current Uber driver-partners in Chicago, Los
Angeles, Miami,
