Buy a Top 10 Pre-Selling Book and Sears.com Will Reward You

                SEARS MAKES IT LIKE GETTING BOOKS FOR FREE!

    HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill., Oct. 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Reading is important,
regardless of where the book is purchased. That's why today, Sears Holdings
is announcing that it will reward customers for qualifying book purchases
on Sears.com, Target.com, Walmart.com and Amazon.com.

    Sears.com's new, innovative program is both simple and rewarding:



 >
    1. Buy an eligible book* on Sears.com, Target.com, Amazon.com or
       Walmart.com;
    2. Email the receipt to us at readamerica@customerservice.sears.com; and

    3. Get an online credit equal to the purchase price (up to $9) to use
       towards a purchase of $45 or more on Sears.com.**
    "The $9 credit can be used at Sears.com on the purchase of any items so
it's like getting the books for free," said Imran Jooma, senior vice
president for Online at Sears Holdings. "We believe this program will
benefit the thousands of customers who buy books every day by putting more
money into their pockets."

    Sears.com is simple and easy to use. The Web site offers the option to
create a helpful profile that allows customers to keep track of their
purchases, lists and addresses. Creating a profile makes returning to shop
at Sears.com easy and worry free, particularly with the holidays right
around the corner.

    The award-winning*** Sears.com has not only dramatically increased its
online product offering, but has also added other unique benefits to better
help customers with their busy schedules and lives. "We want to help our
customers keep their homes and families running smoothly, which is why we
recently created ShopYourWay(TM)," said Jooma.

    ShopYourWay(TM) gives customers the ability shop how they want, when
they want. Highlights of the program include:
