Sears Mastercard To Be Replaced

Boatnmaniac

This is an FYI for those who have a Sears Mastercard account:

Yesterday I received a letter from Citi stating that this credit card will be replaced on 4/12/2025 with a new Citi ThankYou Mastercard. The account number will not be changing so the current Sears Mastercard credit card can continue to be used for purchases until the new replacement card is received and activated in May-June.

What remains to be seen is how this might impact downloading of transactions. Currently, Sears Mastercard is a Citi retail card with it's own unique EWC (QWin….Quicken Connect for QMac) download connection setup. Will this setup still work as is or will it be changed? If it will be changed:

1. Will it simply be a change to the name of the financial institution to something else (such as, maybe "Sears Mastercard" being changed to "ThankYou Mastercard") but will still remain a unique Citi retail card financial institution with an EWC/Quicken Connect download connection?
2. Or will it be retired and then we will need to set up downloading via one of the Citi.com financial institutions (such as Citi Cards) with an EWC+ and/or DC connection?

My guess is that it will be #2 that happens but that is simply a guess.

Hopefully, there will be information about how this change might impact transactions downloading provided by Quicken and/or from Citi.
