### 4/5 — Ignore the bad reviews

*2024-04-02*

This is not a “scam.” If you have the SYW credit card and your points are not syncing, all you have to do is contact customer service and they’ll fix it for you. I don’t know why no one here has bothered to do that. That being said, the app could definitely use some work. The UI/UX is not great and I haven’t done anything other than redeem my credit card points because everything else seems too overwhelming/confusing. I also don’t understand why there are two separate apps that seem to be the same thing, but this one is newer so I guess this is the one to use?

### 1/5 — Scam

*2023-06-26*

Just like others have said, there is no way to redeem the points. On my paper statement it shows I have over 100K points. Only way to redeem is through the app. The app says I do not have any points. There is a tab to link credit card but it takes you right back to home page. No matter how many times I have deleted the app thinking the newer version will load, same thing happens. Even trying to access account through web, it brings you back to app. Very frustrating

### 1/5 — Warning Do not sign up

*2023-06-13*

The deals are masked with a 1$ to 1000 point redemption rate. That is bad enough. I tried to delete my account. It seems this app will only delete your info if you are a resident of CA or VA. Do not sign up unless you never want to leave.

### 1/5 — This is a Scam

*2023-02-06, version 9.2.3*

I have around 30,000 point in the main website of Citibank but each time I am trying to claim those points into gift cards they always force me to download this App.
I created and account linked my credit card an I do not see any point on my account.
Also I use my credit card everyday on the grocery store, buy gas, 7-11 but apparently nothing appears on my history purchase.

### 5/5 — Max rewards app

*2023-01-21, version 9.2.1*

Easy to use! Thanks

### 1/5 — Probably scam

*2023-01-19, version 9.2.1*

I have 33,700 points supposedly on the website of (citiretailservices.citibankonline) but when I try to redeem those points send me to this app automatically.
I sign up follow the instructions link my SYW card and I do not see any point.
Also is too curious that Shop Your Way has two apps instead of one.
Why is the reason that they have two?
Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Chase etc etc… only have one app and why CitiBank does not recognize this card SYW?
I hope the developers and also Apple Store can answer this review.

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2022-10-11, version 1.19.3*

I am forced to use the app to ‘link my card’ to my account and the app won’t let me add a card because it keeps crashing. What’s the deal?

### 1/5 — Bad app

*2022-10-06, version 1.19.2*

App does not let you log in. Error message keeps saying whoops something went wrong try again later

### 1/5 — Shopyoutwaymax

*2022-09-20, version 1.19.0*

App does not work

### 5/5 — I love the Citibank/Sears Shop Your Way Points on eligible purchases

*2022-09-15, version 1.19.0*

I love the Citibank/Sears Shop Your Way Points on eligible purchases such as: 

* 5% in Points on eligible Purchases at GAS   
   STATIONS.

* 3% in Points on eligible Purchases at 
   GROCERY STORES and RESTAURANTS.

* 2% in Points on eligible Purchases at SEARS 
   and K-MART.

* 1% in Points at eligible Purchases on ALL 
   OTHER ELIGIBLE PURCHASES.

It would be even better if they ever offer at least 2% in Points at eligible Purchases on ALL 
OTHER ELIGIBLE PURCHASES.  Just never take this away and thank you so much! ❤️
