I too, am a member, and thought the same thing - There would be a discount
all the time and on all tools. SEARS informed me that the card is only good
on CRAFTSMAN tools, (I understand that), but also, it is only good on
CRAFTSMAN DAYS - about 4 days each month.
So I watch for the flyers and decide what I will get during that month.
