Each time that you make a qualifying purchase at a participating Kmart store, you will earn at least 1% in rewards. Cosmetics, skin and sun care will earn 10% and certain purchases will earn even more. One week after the end of each calendar quarter, Reward Certificates will be automatically printed at the register when you use your Kmart Smart Rewards card while making a purchase at a participating store, if you have earned at least $3.00 in rewards. When you haven't accumulated enough rewards to receive at least a $3.00 Reward Certificate, your rewards will roll into the next quarter. See Terms and Conditions for complete details.

*How will I receive Reward Certificates?
Reward Certificates will be printed automatically the first time you scan your Kmart Smart Rewards card and make a purchase at a participating store approximately one week after the end of each calendar quarter. The Certificate prints so that you can save it for your next visit to Kmart. Reward Certificates will be issued as long as you've earned at least $3.00 in rewards.

Your rewards are being tabulated as long as you are using your Kmart Smart Rewards card each time you shop at a participating store.
