With all this talk of hassles getting a Sears credit card...

I had a lot of trouble getting Sears to correct some incorrect
charges.  To make a long story short, after getting several nasty
notes from them (while they failed to respond to my letters as
legally required), I had to write to
  - the Sears president
  - the Postmaster General
  - the Federal Trade Commission
to get them off my back.

I mention this because someone else just told me she had similar
problems getting Sears's Credit Dept. to do their job.

I don't recommend getting/using a Sears credit card unless
absolutely necessary.
