HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill., Nov. 15, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- In honor of the Black Friday tradition of shopping for super savings and the best values, Sears will offer customers more than 900 doorbuster deals and provide Shop Your Way Rewards Members with exclusive coupons and offers.

Sears gives customers more ways to shop, including Buy Online, Pick-Up In-Store, which enables customers to order doorbusters online from the comfort of their home and pick up their items in-store at their convenience. Purchases made from Sears.com or through any of its mobile offerings are backed by Sears' Ready In 5 Guarantee, which allows customers to shop from anywhere and pick up their purchases within five minutes. For added convenience, Sears offers curbside pickup at select locations(1).

Sears also recently created a "Shop Here, Give There" online layaway feature. Whether gift-giving across the state or across the country, customers can select their desired gift items at Sears.com, complete their layaway payments online, and invite family or friends to pick up their gift item from any Sears location nationwide.

"Our customers want to get the most out of every dollar – and every minute," said Monica Woo, chief marketing officer for Sears. "On Black Friday Sears will offer more doorbuster deals on the best brands, all backed by service and guarantees that matter. Plus by being a Member of our Shop Your Way Rewards program, our customers can earn points on every purchase and save."

Listening to its customers, who say they don't want to be forced to shop at midnight to get the best deals, Sears will open its doors on Friday, Nov. 25, at 4 a.m. Sears doorbuster deals(2) will be available from 4 a.m. until 1 p.m. (local time) on Friday, Nov. 25. The hundreds of doorbuster and holiday deals will be available on banner brands such as Craftsman, Kenmore, NordicTrack and Samsung, and exclusive fashion brands that customers love, including the new Kardashian Kollection, Lands' End, Bongo, UK Style by French Connection and Everlast.

To make Black Friday shopping even more rewarding, Shop Your Way Rewards Members will also receive five times the Shop Your Way Rewards points on qualifying purchases, equal to five percent back. The offer is available to all Sears credit cardholders and will run until Jan. 28, 2012. Customers can apply for a Sears card online, at Sears.com, or in their local Sears store; if approved, the offer is instantly available on qualified purchases at both stores.
