Sears / The Bay / Zellers = HBC

If all these stores are webbed together as one company, my question is can you exchange something bought at Sears for store credit at say The Bay?

Same company but separate when it comes to the money dept. methinks. The only universal thing about them is the fact that you get HBC Reward Points!!! I can almost get a toaster!!!

Home Outfitters is also an HBC company.

sears isnt hbc... they're giftcards are cross over because it says so on the card. it has all 3 store logos on it. im pretty sure for merchandise you can't return at whatever store you want.. imagine everyone returning giant big screen tv's at home outfitters.. i dont think they would have storage space for all that and then have to transfer them all to the bay/zellers.

Sears is actually owned by Walmart.

^^ That is affirmative. This transaction was completed not too long ago.
