I have partnered with Sears Mastercard to help your family with spending on a budget and to show you how simple it is to earn rewards and save money on every day items!

Raising three children is by no means inexpensive and I have always been passionate about trying to save money. Just recently my husband and I printed off our yearly summary for all of the purchases we made in 2016 and it was quite shocking to see how much money went towards our household supplies. My goal this year is to be more vigilant about saving money on every day items and I am going to share some advice on how to make this possible!

A few years ago I discovered that rewards programs were not only a great way to save on future purchases, but also a simple way to earn money on purchases you are already making. There are an overwhelming amount of credit cards to apply for out there and sometimes it can be a bit overwhelming trying to find the best one for you. I have found that the ideal credit card for families is none other than the Sears Mastercard, where customers can earn rewards points on all purchases they make no matter where they shop! Here is what you can expect to earn when using your Sears Mastercard from Citibank:

• 5% back in points on eligible purchases made at gas stations
• 3% back in points on eligible purchases at grocery stores and restaurants
• 2% back in points on eligible purchases made at Sears and Kmart
• 1% back in points on all other eligible purchases

There are so many benefits to using a credit card to make purchases on your every day items! You are literally throwing money away when you pay with cash or your debit card. Doesn’t it make sense to take advantage of earning points so that you can save even more on your next purchase? When using your Sears Mastercard with Shop Your Way, you will earn points on purchases. You can then take those points and redeem them on purchases ranging from everyday household consumables or towards larger items such as kitchen appliances sold by Sears and Kmart. Ready for the icing on the cake? You can even use your rewards points in combination with in-store promotions at Sears and Kmart!

If you are a new Sears Mastercard customer, you can earn more Shop Your Way points on a complimentary basis with no fee for 12 months from the date the account is open! What are you waiting for? It is time to start earning and saving money!
