I had no issue with my Costco receipt, $7.99 for a bag of apples. I did include a picture of the UPC barcode. Received my rebate within 2 days.

It’s live again. Same $2.50.

“We’ll continue offering cash back on eggs every Friday in February, so check back each week.”

It does not mean $2.50 offer for every Friday.

I just went to Trader Joes’s, and they only had half dozens left, so I bought one for $3.49 and got $2.50 back.

Is the Cottonelle Blue (Ultra Clean) also on clearance?

Update: Based on SD, that should also have the same clearance price.

I was going to Staples this weekend for this, until I read this review:

https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/the-best-toilet-paper/

“If you want a super-soft toilet paper and don’t mind a little butt dandruff: Cottonelle Ultra ComfortCare (our previous top pick) and the brand’s Ultra GentleCare (an aloe-infused cult favorite) are the softest toilet papers we’ve tested. However, they are also the dustiest and lintiest of all the papers we’ve tested, shedding tiny little lint bits and other residue everywhere the toilet paper touches, from bathroom cabinets to human bottoms. These are still super-comfy, super-cushy, and super-sturdy choices if you’re okay with tp residue.”

Low lint is the primary reason I switched to Charmin Ultra Strong, since I use it not just as “toilet paper”. Otherwise, I’m fine with Costco Kirkland.

I’m not buying any, but there is no such offer in my account.

A new offer starts Jan 5.

I see 2 such offers on the desktop, but only 1 in the app. Has anyone actually gotten credits for more than 10 cartridges?

At the end of the offer details, there is a 6-digit number. I think that’s the offer number. Both offers have the same number: 201289.

Recycling is a continuation of the offer which started a few weeks ago, NOT a new offer.

I just submitted my last rebate for this promo. Went through fine, even without the typical reminder text.

@my4mainecoons said in Hulu w/ ads for 99 cents a month for a year and add Disney+ w/ ads for an additional $2 a month. Now through 12/2/24.:

$2 CB thru TCB. Wasn’t it $12 last year?

It is now.

PayPal is not an option, so I signed up for Venmo. Then I got this message when I filed for the rebate:

“We could not process your rebate due to a violation of our terms of service.”

Update: Got the rebate after manual review.

@my4mainecoons said in Prior FRESH PASS Members (Acme/Alb/Safeway, etc) email offer for 50% off for a year, $10mm with 12x$5 credits ex 12/10:

If I take a 30 day free trial do you think I can sign up for the $49 deal on 12/9?

The free trial does not give you the $5 coupon.

@cheapcharlie9 said in Prior FRESH PASS Members (Acme/Alb/Safeway, etc) email offer for 50% off for a year, $10mm with 12x$5 credits ex 12/10:

In the title of the thread it says:

$10mm with 12x$5 credits ex 12/10

Wouldn’t it be an $11 MM as you get $60 of credits and pay $49, making it an $11 MM?

Close enough. You’ll most likely get 13 months of $5 credits, instead of just 12.

@mrvietnam said in Prior FRESH PASS Members (Acme/Alb/Safeway, etc) email offer for 50% off for a year, $10mm with 12x$5 credits ex 12/10:

Do you guys remember from last time around, if you cancel your fresh Pass account early will it still be valid until the expiration date or should you cancel like the day before to make sure that you don’t get charged??

You can cancel the renewal any time after the 15-day refund period.

It’s available to everyone.

Thanks. Got it from Safeway, on sale for $3.99 - 30% “manager special” because it expires in 3 days.

@mtnagel said in ROCKSTAR ENERGY DRINKS! Buy 2 Single Cans, get $5 Venmo/Paypal Rebate via Text Submit (See post for details):

Took over 2 days to pay out for this.

Receipt was instantly approved, but no payment after 2 days.

Update: Just received it. I did send an email to support last night.

I emailed support and received the reminder text a few hours later.

@mtnagel said in ROCKSTAR ENERGY DRINKS! Buy 2 Single Cans, get $5 Venmo/Paypal Rebate via Text Submit (See post for details):

I then realized I didn’t get the text two weeks from my last redemption like I have been

Does that mean submitting a receipt without having received the reminder text is unlikely to work? I was expecting a reminder text today but didn’t get it.

The offer was 8% when I enrolled a few days ago, but Citi has changed it to 1.5%.

I went through Swagbucks, which tracked within a few hours.

@george2001 said in Staples Rewards (ALL, not YMMV) Recycle 10 ink carts, get $25 in rewards. must activate offer ex 8/31:

I have a limit of 20 carts/month. With this deal can I recycle 30 carts and get 400 hundred points for the first 20, and 500 points for ten?
Or is it 500 points for ten, plus 400points for ten more?

500 points for 10 first, and then 400 points for 20.

Also, this offer should be automatically activated already.

Even the 5% offer is about to expire.

Same here. I submitted my first purchase Tuesday (6/25) evening. When I checked Wednesday (6/26) evening, the bonus was gone.

I redeemed the last offer and still got this offer.

new offer cut to half:

500 points when you recycle tech, batteries and more. Single use per month. Expires 01/25/25.

Got my $5 after 2 small purchases, each with a 20% off coupon.

This one is better, depending on your needs!

That’s the description of the stainless steel one.

@hbg1 said in Staples rewards changing in February, 2024-Changes unknown.:

I recycled last week but it sounds like it’s definitely worth trying again since the offer is still showing in my app.

It’s not “still showing”. It’s a new offer that started this week.

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

@my4mainecoons said in Staples rewards changing in February, 2024-Changes unknown.:

@mrvietnam That offer might not have a limit.

I think all there offers are limit 1. I have never see any offer with any other limit.

“May be used unlimited times per Staples Easy Rewards member within the promotional period”

@my4mainecoons said in Staples rewards changing in February, 2024-Changes unknown.:

So that’s why MrV still had the offer when he’d already recycled

Many (if not all) people who recycled during the last period still had the offer “activated” in the account. I recycled the second time but did not get any points.

A new recycling offer is up, valid until 6/10.

The current offer (which expires 5/19) started on 5/5. You will not get additional points if you already recycled during this period, even if the offer is still shown in your account.

@frugalpete said in Pennzoil Synthetic Oil $25 on 10 quarts rebate exp 9/30/24:

Are the gift cards available from the same participating retailers?

Many retailer gift cards are available. I picked Amazon.

Got mine after 4 weeks.

@my4mainecoons said in Staples rewards changing in February, 2024-Changes unknown.:

@c3 Doesn’t it work by the month? I thought May 1.

Nope, not since they started the point system. If there is no offer in your account, you would not get anything.

@my4mainecoons said in Staples rewards changing in February, 2024-Changes unknown.:

I recycled tech yesterday and did not receive anything for it

If you already recycled in April, before the 2000-point week, your account should not have a new recycling offer this week.

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

@c3 Do the points expire?

“Points don’t expire so long as your Easy Rewards™ member account is active. For an account to remain active, a member must earn or redeem at least one point in an 18-month period.”

The current 1000-point ($5) recycling offer expires this Saturday 4/20.

Next week will have a 2000-point ($10) recycling offer expiring on 4/27.

I think these are separate offers, so you can do it once per offer, but don’t know for sure.

1000 points for tech recycling is available for the next 2 weeks, until 4/20.

Someone on SD reported that the March tech recycling period has been extended to 4/6.

Unless you want this particular paper, there may be a better deal for 10-ream cases starting Mondays almost every week.

@c3 said in Staples rewards changing in February, 2024-Changes unknown.:

As pointed out by someone on SD, https://www.staples.com/stores/recycling now says that the tech recycling program expires on 3/30/24. Not sure if the whole program expires on that date, or just the next one (March) which has not started yet.

Looks like it is really dead.

@my4mainecoons said in Ink Rewards affected by Staples Program changes? Don't get cheated, obtained a good outcome, see post:

Anyone know of a workaround for the -1 ink cartridge problem?

From SD, no personal experience:

1. Recycle 21 cartridges. That should take care of both tech and ink recycling.
2. Recycle tech first, and then ink in a separate transaction. May not be as reliable as #1.

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

I am still getting 400pts for 50 cartridges again this month, too bad I don’t do those lol.

That’s worth 20,000 points, or $100! I’m no longer doing it, since my account has only 100x10.

As pointed out by someone on SD, https://www.staples.com/stores/recycling now says that the tech recycling program expires on 3/30/24. Not sure if the whole program expires on that date, or just the next one (March) which has not started yet.

Got $1.xx today. Wow, this thread started over 6 years ago!

I don’t seem to have that page

Scroll down to the FAQ section.

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

My account actually has the offer to earn 400 pts up to 50 cartridges per month.

Wow!!! There is a discussion on SD that those limits may change from month to month.

@my4mainecoons said in Staples rewards changing in February, 2024-Changes unknown.:

It says ONE DAY ONLY instead.

Sure, I’ll pick that “one day” when I want to use the coupon.
