PALO ALTO, Calif., Nov. 14, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Activehours
and Shop Your Way, a business unit of Sears Holdings (NASDAQ:
SHLD), announced a strategic partnership today that integrates the
Shop Your Way rewards program into the Activehours mobile
application. The Activehours application allows people to access
their pay when they earn it, rather than waiting for a paycheck. To
download the free Activehours app and get paid when you want, visit
Google Play Store or the Apple Store.
"Activehours offers a unique benefit for our Shop Your Way
members. This partnership allows us to make a difference in our
members' financial lives by providing instant access to their pay
the day they've earned it," said Terry
Rolecek, president, Shop Your Way Financial Services for
Sears Holdings. "By integrating the Shop Your Way program with
Activehours, we provide our members with the convenience of
purchasing products and services when they need them rather than
having to wait for a paycheck which has already been earned."
As Shop Your Way members and associates within the Sears
Holdings family of companies access their pay through Activehours,
they will receive Shop Your Way points which may be redeemed online
or in-store at Sears and Kmart. Existing Shop Your Way members can
take advantage of this new benefit starting today by linking their
accounts to the Activehours app at
shopyourway.com/activehours/earn-at-activehours or
activehours.com/shopyourway. Existing Activehours customers who
sign up for a free Shop Your Way membership at
activehours.com/shopyourway will automatically earn points on their
next Activehours cash out.
"The Activehours app makes paychecks lightning fast, intelligent
and now, they are even worth more," said Ram Palaniappan, founder
of Activehours. "It's refreshing to strategically partner with a
company such as Sears Holdings that understands the benefit of
offering their associates and Shop Your Way members a service that
allows them to receive wages in real-time. We're excited to welcome
the tens of millions of Shop Your Way members to the Activehours
community."
With Activehours, users get more power and flexibility in how
and when they're paid. Additionally, employers benefit as employees
report improved attendance and reduced stress. Activehours is
currently working with people employed by more than 10,000
companies, including Sears Holdings.
