Reviewers say that although the Sears eGift Card cannot be used as freely as network branded cards, it is more versatile than most retailer-issued cards because it is not limited to use at Sears stores. The card can also be used at Kmart, as well as online and by phone at both stores and at Lands' End. Reviewers like that the card can be delivered instantly via email, especially since the Sears eGift Card can also be printed and used in bricks and mortar stores as well, an unusual feature for an online gift card. Sears eGift Cards are available in denominations ranging from $5 to $500. For a gift card that can be used in many locations, reviewers suggest a network branded gift card like the Discover Gift Card (*est. $4). However, they note that there are fees and an expiration date.
Although we didn't find reviews for the Sears eGift Card itself, we did find some for the Sears Gift Card (which has the same terms) at the Montgomery County (Maryland) Office of Consumer Protection, BankRate.com and CreditCards.com. Each of these reviews compares the terms and policies of several gift cards, but none of them rank cards or offer specific recommendations.
