Need another reason to shop at Sears?  Saw this today... very cool. 

Even if you lose your job, you'll at least get to keep that Kenmore washer-dryer under a new program launched by Sears.

The Illinois-based retailer has announced it will modify payment agreements on new appliances purchased between July 6 and Aug. 1 if consumers are laid off -- as long as they spent at least $399 and put the items on a Citibank-issued Sears credit card.

One-twelfth of the purchase price will be credited to shoppers' accounts for every month they are unemployed. Those who are jobless more than a year will have the full debt forgiven. Sears officials said they might extend the offer if it proves popular.
