also discussion about this in the master staples thread.

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…

Recycled 10x2 empty cartridges yesterday.
Now I’m tapped out.
Where can I buy more for $.50 ea?

I pay 22¢ each for 450 but that might be too many for you.

@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.

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.

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

Actually, I bought carts last Black Friday time, 300 for $60 right before the Staples changes. Recycle 20 a month at OD on 2 accounts. Haven’t recycled at Staples since Feb until Aug and now Sept and hopefully Oct. Gives me a nice boost in my rewards balance going into the holidays. Not to mention, each $20 in rewards is worth $30 in value w the $10/30 Q, so its a nice deal.

@mistercheap
Do you think the $25 will work in September and October? I also recycled the first time in a while last week and got the $25. I’m wondering if I can do it again before the coupon expires on the 5th or if it’s a one time use thing.

Same was talked about on SD, at best a roll of the dice. Someone will have to be the guinea pig on Oct 1 and let us all know. Worst that happens is, you only get 50c each for the carts up to your stated max in your rewards panel.

@my4mainecoons I just recycled 20 cartridges (my limit) and was credited with 20 cartridges @ 400 points instead of 10@400 and 10 @500. So, I think that if you used the coupon during Sept, it won’t work now.

I was just coming to post that people on SD have said the same. no go if you recycled on the promo in Sept.

Staples has a new offer listed for this promo in next weeks ad, starting 10/6

The new cartridge recycling offer ends 11:2.

I will recycle my 10 cartridges and alkaline battery today to make my free $27.50

I was just wondering do these coupons that print out on recycling transactions if II use them on other accounts or does it have to be used on the account that it came from?

Regardless of the date printed they really expire 12-31-24.

I get e-receipts. Since there’s no bar code on the $10/$30 the cashier has to key in the 16 digits. I suggest that I read the number to them. It’s easier for them and they don’t see the expiration date.

I just got back from recycling 10 cartridges and one alkaline battery on separate transactions. On my first transaction of 10 cartridges I didn’t get any coupons back, but on my second transaction of a single alkaline battery I got two $10 off $30 purchase coupons. One of the coupons says it expires and the other coupon says it /31/24.

good on any account, not tied to your rewards info.

I just did the same thing. I have 2 accounts, one is plus and one is regular.
On the plus account, i recycled 10 inks and just my receipt printed out.
On my regular account, I recycled 10 inks and a phone charger. a 10/30 printed out.
I then used the 10/30 coupon with the points I had on my plus account to make a purchase, no problems.

@my4mainecoons Do the reward points expire?

No they do not.

On a related note, I am down to only one month left iof empties. If anyone knows of any good deals on eBay for bulk empty cartridges, please share.

I ordered this on eBay just now:

Mix lot of 450 Virgin & Non Virgin Empty Ink Cartridges for Staples Rewards
$97.95
It comes with free shipping in 2-4 days and free returns.
Seller: planetgreenelectronics
99.2% (93.3K)

What made this a must buy for me is when I was going through the checkout process I noticed they offered me a $25 off $50+ coupon (YMMV) and I clicked on it and it saved me $25. So after the $25 coupon and the 3% I am getting back from Am Ex Everyday Blue card, I paid $79.55, or 17.7 cents a cartridge. IMHO that is a very good price nowadays for empties. Since I recycle 30 cartridges a month, these 450 carts will last me for 15 months, or through January 2026.
