@marvomatic thanks.
Some of the stores prices have really gone up. We found one that was reasonable and my wife went and was able to use the coupon for my kid, I went a few hours later and after getting the haircut they pointed to a sign saying they don’t participate.
@mrvietnam said in Staples - New Offer STARTS AGAIN May 2025 Recycle 6 ink carts at store get $15 in rewards make sure offer is activated:
It appears the Staples recycling offer has changed downwards starting 5/1/25. I recycled on my two accounts this afternoon and instead of giving 500 points each for 10 cartridges ($25 in savings), they now only give 500 points for 6 cartridges ($15 in savings). I recycled 10 cartridges and I only got 3,400 points (for a total of $17 in savings vs the $25 in savings I got last month). The other 4 cartridges they gave me only 100 points each. Recycling an alkaline battery once a month still nets you 500 points (or $5). Still a good deal as the 10 carts only cost me $2 from eBay, but not as good of a deal as it was.
That does seem to be the current offer.
Fun fact, you can still buy the plus membership, but it won’t activate. If you’re lucky, you can convince the CSR to send a ticket to activate it, but that boat may have sailed. I was able to activate 3/4 accounts.

@mtnagel I prefer business machines. Machines for home use have always disappointed me.
I have other Rewards accounts and I use the points on those to buy stuff.
You might have to do what I did and buy the macbook using chase points when they have 20% off apple.
@my4mainecoons If you aren’t going to play games, I would just get a Mac if you can. It’s really night and day between PC laptops and the M series Macs.
Gemini agrees that the one with the faster CPU is better, if you were to buy the dell.
@mrvietnam this happens all the time, sometimes when they scan your barcode they scan it into the wrong field.
I tried to do a kiosk plus items from the store order this past weekend and apparently you can’t do that anymore? The kiosk order needs to be paid for separately.

@dangeruss I didn’t think that buying Plus would be as good as spending real money. You have to be a loyal customer to spend $1K. Then, if all the Plus account does is recycle they’re not going to “reward” that account.
The plus accounts I had when they converted to easy rewards remained at 20 carts, despite me spending a ton of money last year. The regular accounts remained at 10 even though I just bought plus.
