Definitely not going to buy something from giftcards.com. Fool me once . . .

Purchasers of a Personal Genome Service from 23andMe from a few years back can now claim benefits from a class action settlement.

Under terms of the settlement, qualifying purchasers of a PGS can claim either a cash payment or a certificate good toward the purchase of a Genetic Testing Kit from the 23andMe website.
Info

Portion from my chat with customer service.

STAPLES: The $4 for your Ink and toner rewards will be issued on the next scheduled payout that is from your November ink recycling.
8:15 am

Will the purchase details in my account be updated to reflect the correct amount of the rewards?
8:16 am

STAPLES: Yes it will be updated.
8:16 am

So then I will be getting $80 in rewards rather than $40?
8:16 am

STAPLES: That is correct.

Yes, you can do multiple orders. I placed a couple right after I picked up the first order.

The convenience store chain Sheetz exchanges gift cards for their egift card. You can see how much you will get here: https://sheetz.cardcash.com/

Bought these https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B073X1K1R6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 for $10.99 and already claim the $10.00 credit in my account

Just received this e-mail:

Dear valued Staples Rewards member,

Thank you for being a Staples Reward member.* We are informing you of a program update to the Staples Rewards Program when shopping in our US Staples stores.

Staples Rewards checks must now be redeemed in full at the time of purchase. If a Staples Rewards check is not redeemed in full, the remaining balance is forfeited, and balance checks will no longer be issued. For full Program details visit staples.com/rewards.

Sincerely,

The Staples Rewards Team

Got a $10 off $20 coupon today when I did my recycling.

@mistercheap said in Staples rewards changing in February, 2024-Changes unknown.:

@penguin110 Thanks for sharing this. will keep in HD for a few days, then move to DD so everyone can see this as it is important, if not ‘vague’ news.

What troubles me about this is, absolutely NO mention of the ink rewards program (changes, does it continue, etc) especially for those of us who have invested in cartridges and spent $50 on ink in recent months to get the 7 month benefit of recycling total. They’d better not reset the program and penalize people who’ve already bought ink or even worse, D/C it altogether. I never trust announcements that give you no information other than to tell you ‘how great’ a new program will be, but we’ll just ambush you with it on 2/1.

If it’s so great, then tell me what you are planning to do! otherwise it’s not great to be left in suspense.

Thanks, I wasn’t sure where to post it. I will definitely complain if they reduce the recycling benefits. I made my ink/toner purchase a month or so ago and was just charged the fee for my plus account.

The lawsuit alleges that certain Kenmore barbecue grills, with model numbers 01566, 03495, 16142, 16154, 23673, 23676, 23681, 23682, 23683, 23766, 34172, 34176, 34178, 34308, and 34611 (the “Grills”), sold by Sears were manufactured with firebox trays made out of galvanized steel, making the firebox trays defective and resulting in the firebox trays rusting and failing prematurely.

@cheerfuljam

No. I have “won” everything with the same bag I have been using.

This is the response I received a couple of days ago from Staples chat offline responding to a question I asked a couple of weeks ago:

Qualifying cartridges recycled online can take up to 6 to 8 weeks for processing. If after 8 weeks you do not see the recycled cartridges under your account please contact us with your Rewards customer number along with your UPS tracking number and we will be happy to further research this for you. The “bolded” words were from Staples.

Thanks. Ordered one as it has good reviews everywhere I looked.

Staples is trying again to buy Office Depot. You can read about it here: https://www.cnn.com/2021/01/11/investing/staples-office-depot-merger-proposal/index.html

Please be aware:

Click the “Process Order” button below to receive your FREE half-pound bag of Amora Coffee plus a FREE half-pound bag of Chocolate Cherry pay just $1.00 shipping and handling, plus sales tax where applicable. Starting in about two weeks, and every month thereafter, you will receive a fresh batch of four half-pound bags in the blend you selected, at the regular price of $16.00 per bag plus $8.95 shipping and handling (Total $72.95) plus sales tax where applicable, billed to the credit card you provided.

If I recall, Staples sent out an e-mail a month or two ago that noted that balance certificates were no longer going to be issued. Not sure when I read that nor when it stated that it was going to begin.

@mrvietnam said in Official Kellogg's Family Rewards Program Codes Master Thread:

I have a new thing KFR is doing to me. I completed two activities and instead of earning one token for each, it said i earned 0 tokens! I sent a support request to KFR and we will see what they say.

That happened to me as well. I just did it a second time and got the token.

@dionaea said in Keurig Recyclable K Cup Class Action Settlement - submit by January 9, 2023:

I got an email from PayPal that said “Your Smith v. Keurig Green Mountain settlement payment is now available in Venmo”. I don’t have a Venmo account nor do I use Venmo. The $5 is in my PayPal account and ready to use.

Same with me.

To those who turned in ink/cartridges and technology this month before the new rewards program started, you can turn more in this month and get the rewards under the new program as well.

U.S. based CSR told me that wouldn’t work.

Worked for me. I already received both rewards. The coupons under the old program expire 3/31/2024.

Old program 3/31 expiration are for JANUARY tech recycle, not Feb. they wouldn’t be paid out until March, so no way you could know for sure yet.

Checked my old rewards again and the expiration dates on all of them are now 4/30/2024.

@ukedog said in Staples - New Offer to 10/5 Recycle 10 ink carts at store get $25 in rewards make sure offer is activated:

@mistercheap Ok, so I haven’t done my monthly recycle for September of 20 ink cartridges yet, getting the normal $40 ($2 per) in Easy Rewards.

So can I go ahead and do that first, then come back with an additional 10 cartridges a day or two after, and get the extra $25 in Easy Rewards?

Also planning to recycle technology (old cable) for another few $ as well this month…

I turned in 30 cartridges and technology in one transaction and got points for everything. My regular 20 cartridges, the 10 bonus for $25.00 and the technology.

Persons who received unsolicited text messages from Hooters can now claim benefits from a nearly $1.3 million class action settlement.

Thanks for the info @penguin110, but I think this much anticipated local event deserves it’s own post. Would you like to create a separate thread? Alternately, I could add this to my OP. I think the info would be overlooked/missed if not highlighted in a thread title somehow.

I’ll post it later today. Thanks.
