Can you believe it? Christmas is coming up fast and because of that some retailers are offering layaway plans to help make your family‘s Christmas wishes reality. While other stores like Wal-Mart, Best Buy, and Toys R Us offer layaway options, only Kmart is sweetening the deal with Kmart's Big Layaway Giveaway. Between September 9, 2012 and November 17, 2012 you could win the option of your layaway balance being paid in full up to $500.00! If you mail in a free entry and have no outstanding layaway balance you will win a $500.00 gift card to use at your favorite Kmart store or at kmart.com if your entry is drawn. How’s that for making the Christmas season merry and bright and saving big on holiday gifts?
There are three ways to enter. You can layaway your purchase online, place a layaway at a store near you, or mail in a free entry. Each week every Kmart store will draw one winner. That equals 1235 entries per week and 12350 prizes, so there is plenty of opportunity to win!!
Setting up a layaway contract at Kmart is easy and takes little to get started unlike Best Buy and requires no minimum purchase unlike Wal-Mart. To get started at Kmart you simply shop and then pay a $5.00 service fee and a down payment of $15.00 or 10% whichever is greater. After that you make easy affordable payments every two weeks either online or at any register. For purchases made of over $300.00 you have the option on in store purchases of having a total of 12 weeks to pay off the balance. Those layaways require a minimum payment of $30.00 or 10% down plus a $10.00 service fee to start.
