Sears/SUWR {ShopYourWayRewards} Sweeps: Big Pain = HUGE Opportunity.

OMG! I thought I would try it so I just picked one. Sorr, hated it way more than I thought I would. Takes forever and very confusing. I will never believe a review on Sears again. Sorry..not my cup of tea, Could have entered 50 good sweeps in that time. Good luck to others.
Sorry you were discouraged, but there is a learning curve and when you're starting out (like learning any new subject) it can seem long and confusing. That is no reason to disbelieve the reviews of those who have put in the time to master the skill - it really does get a lot easier with practice. FYI I'm 15/1376, #14 on the Leaderboard with $642 in winnings. Personally, I find them a fun, rewarding challange that don't really take all that long once you get the hang of it.

Thanks for all your helpful posts on the topic, dblu0104. I have a question. How do you get to the leaderboard? I have tried everything I can think of, and still don't see it!
Once you're on the SUWR Sweeps page, there should be a tab for "MY SWEEPSTAKES", go there and it should give all your stats: #you've entered, winnings, and should include the leaderboard.
I am starting to find just entering the contests is harder then completing them. One thing I do though, is after I enter them all for the day and create all the catalogs, I go to the main status page (all tab, and status tab) and click like, want etc. on random stuff. Then I notice when there is a bunch of like items so it means someone did a catalog and I'll just put those in my own catalog. It helps a ton because I knock off so many contests quicker just doing that. I barely see half the contests after I've done that.

I tried going to shop your way rewards and the page I had for the home page was not the one you had in the attachment. There was not a choice for contest on the homepage I had. Please advise I am new to this.

willowangel,
On your My Stream page, there is a black menu bar across the top, then a gray menu bar right underneath it. Reading across, it says, "Departments Brands Stores Topics Catalogs People Apps."
Click on "Apps" and then you will get a page with a handful of app icons (I see 3). Once there, you can't miss "Sweeps."

I am having trouble deleting the entries that are already over under my sweeps. I hit the remove key and it expands the entry but doesn't remove it. Is there a trick I am missing. Thx
To delete a catalog of yours: Open the catalog you want to delete; you'll see a tab on top labeled "settings"; open that - at the bottom of the list of choices is "delete". I've found that if I try to create a catalog and it won't go through, that generally means you already have one with the same name. You have to delete the old one before you can make a new one to enter that sweep with. Also, there appears to be a limit on the number of catalogs you can have - somewhere around 500. If you've been entering the SUWR sweeps for a long time and find you can't create any new catalogs, then you need to go in and delete a bunch of old ones.
Thank you so much! I tried everything but did not notice "settings." I had problems a few times, not knowing that I already had a catalog with the same name and wasted so much time.
I just followed your instructions and can delete and rename.
My enter/win ratio is extremely low, (5/1396), and I have spent so many hour on SYWR, I am thinking of not wasting any more time. I entered everything this past week, except the FB sharing sweeps and did not win even the smallest point amount or from the lowest entry sweeps. It is discouraging.
Thanks, dblu0104.

Aaack I'm so close to needing to have to delete a ton of catalogs....not looking forward to doing that! They need to make it easier
Well, not sure if this works for you, but I find when I put a lot of time/energy/focus into a particular sweeps/sponsor/etc., I probably won't win from them, BUT, I'll discover I *will/did* win an off the wall, very low # of prizes sweeps I only gave about 2 seconds of my attention to - which I'll know because I don't remember the sponsor/sweeps title off the top of my head!!!
That's where the "enter & forget it" part of the sweeps credo came from - me realizing the sweeps gods don't/didn't give a fig just how hard I "worked" for a win, they would just capriciously draw my name on {sometimes rare} occasion, lol!!!

Amy, thanks for reminder - "Enter and forget it!" I know it is not merit based and any win is random, but with the odds relatively low I was trying hard to enter everything everyday, knowing I shouldn't expect a win, but at the same time, expecting a win. 
The day after I posted, I did win 10,000 points - kind of like the whiner's wall - letting off steam when you have had enough!
Every night, there is a batch of SYWR sweeps ending and you see the countdown - ending in 23 hours...until the last minute - so it is harder to enter and forget it because the reminder is always there.
hjm81, I have been deleting about 10 catalogs per day, and it is slow. I have also been deleting items from Things I Like so I will be able Like things more easily - how many hammers can you find to Like!? I was wondering if anyone knows a quicker way to delete catalogs and also to delete items from the big Like, Want, Have catalogs? It is so slow, waiting for the deletion process, then reloading the page to delete again, waiting, reloading. It would help if you could at least see the oldest catalogs but there is no option to sort that way. I've been trying various ways to sort.
Any ideas? Thanks, and good luck to everyone who is putting in the time to enter!
