How true. To mail a bulky item like that might cost $50 to mail, and K-Mart will send them a gift certificate back costing them a postage stamp to mail. These plans were great... for K-Mart.

Here are the differences between the Kmart Smart Plan and an extended warranty: 1. It's called the Kmart Smart Plan

I find it amusing that the intro and outro are SO trying to be Rosie and Penny. And I love the early 90s Kmart signage package and how their stores looked! My favored Kmart in Carroll, Iowa moved to a brand new store in 1992 from their tiny store at the top of the hill, and it closed due to end of lease in 2017, not because of bad sales or anything, but because Eddie Lampert is a selfish person, and doesn't care about whether Kmart lives or dies...it's just another real estate transaction.

I remember when Kmart was thriving just as good as Walmart. Now sad to see them all getting shut down.

One time it was over 30 days snd I called the number and they told me just go it any near by Kmart and have it replaced with no questions asked but I need to bring the item. That was best warranty plan out their and 4 times repair deal goes to automatically to lemon law replacement.

"If you don't tell 'em, you won't sell 'em." I want that on a shirt.

How true. Try shopping at Target and sometimes these plans pop-up to buy when checking out for similar cheap items.

I was working for Kmart back during that time. But only spent about less than 2 years. Management there couldn't care less about what you did, and often treated you like garbage. Didn't have to push those warranties like they did in the video, but had to push the store credit card. And the store I worked at didn't have those registers. It was the more antequated IBM 4683 POS terminals.

Even today, I might go to Target and when either me in the self-checkout, or a cashier scans an item, up may pop-up a message if I wish to purchase a better warranty. Sometimes I laugh when the warrant is $4.99 for a 9 foot extension cord.

At the 3:00 mark, does this make any sense at all? "Hi, I'd like to buy nothing from KMart at a cost of $0.00 and please charge me a fee of $4.99 so I can get my $0.00 refunded to me as a replacement should anything happen" HUH?!?! It should have said for products costing $50.00 or less....(or for products up to $50)

"I know there's pain... why do you lock yourself up in these chains...."

I think this plan violates consumer protection laws in like 49 states.

There are more people in this video than I've ever seen in a Kmart.

Almost looks like an Ames with Kmart signage. Nowadays of course the register prompts the cashier to ask the customer about the replacement plans.

This was around the time Kmart still had stores in Canada (which went bankrupt in 1998, stores sold to Zellers), Czech Republic and Slovakia (which were later sold off to Tesco around the mid-1990s when Kmart's American stores were in trouble...) and had a 51% share in the Kmart Australia joint venture since 1969 with Coles New World Supermarkets/Coles Group (which was since sold back to Coles-Myer in 1994) in addition to their core U.S., Puerto Rico, Guam and U.S. Virgin Islands stores.

The number still works

Turns down the plan, but still puts it on their KMart card. Win-win for them.

I love how these old style videos will always say at the beginning: "This video is broken down into two sections." A 2018 person watching the video might scream, "JUST TELL ME!"

Oh, goodness, Kmart had absolutely the worst price check system in the history of marts, sale items were never logged into the system as sale items ( Dollar General tries to run the same scam) so you'd wait 40 minutes as the cashier would first: squawk Price Check! into the mic, then management would fail to appear, said cashier would pick at the sticker or stare at the bar code for about ten minuets , then ask where you found it, you didn't recall where you found it, cashier would lean on the counter asking nobody in particular where Barfy or Bob was so THEY could see where it came from, Barfy or Bob would also fail to appear either because they didn't exist or because they were hiding in the restrooms. cashier would get twitchy because she had no idea what she was doing , you would say forget it because you had to get home and Sale Item would get hidden away under the counter due to its immense staggering value. Walmart effectively killed them off, not because Walmart was better or cheaper but because Kmart excects refused to undercut Walmart. If anything, Kmart priced themselves out of business with the same Chinese junk.

I don't understand. So, the KMART "Smart Replacement Plan" is now WHY the store is called Target?

We had Kmarts here in Canada for awhile until it got bought out by Zellers and that’s no longer in service after that got bought out by Target and that to is no longer in service in Canada it’s still in service in the United States where it’s actually doing better. Where I live in Saskatoon we only had one Kmart opened in the beginning of the 90s and state open until the late 90s when converted to a Zellers and that stayed until the early 2010s when it closed but the one that was Kmart didn’t go to Target like the other two in my town did that one sat vacant for six years until about a year ago when they put in some office space a fabric retailer a fitness gym and a Giant Tiger (a smaller type of department store) and two years before that they put in a blood laboratory
