@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.

@my4mainecoons Make/model? Via Ebay?

Not sure I agree on printer ink, because you don’t earn the rewards when you pay with rewards and staples tends to be high.

Have to give some thought to this on what the best options may be.

I bought ink for resale to keep Premier status. Figure $1000 for ink, get back 50% in Rewards. Resold ink. Used the Rewards to buy more ink or other stuff for resale. I think I broke even or maybe made a profit. Having maintained Premier consistently they gave me 400 points for 30 empties/month with the new program.

I’ve had premier/plus and those accounts where I let plus lapse didn’t get the higher limit. Now even with spending a ton of $ last year, still only 10 carts even after buying plus.

My wife went to recycle, did tech, battery and ink and no $10 off $30 came out.

@mrvietnam i might be willing to use them more if they showed up under grocery on my cc.

Now that Office Depot has run dry (pun intended) of case water sales, I have been using my $10 off $30 coupons that expire in a few days to buy case water over at Staples. Since Staples gives the points for practically free (just pay for the cost of the cartridges from eBay) I am not losing any money and making it more attractive by combining it with the soon-to-be expiring $10 off $30 coupons. The interesting thing is at one store they did not charge me CRV when paying with coupon/points and at the other store it charged me CRV on the case water but not on the individual jugs of water. Nice way to stock up on Arrowhead spring water.

Do kiosk order, order $60 worth, use $15 off $60, then $10 off $30, total $25 off $60. Can also get fancier water and PM, but the PM will dilute the $15 off $60.

Where do you get $15 off $60 coupons, I believe the $10 off $30 are for in-store purchases only. Does a kiosk count as an in-store order? I thought Staples stores didn’t have kiosks anymore. I don’t remember seeing them at my local stores. Staples allows to stack xx/xx coupons?

Kiosk counts as in store, which I learned the hard way when I didn’t get a bunch of points that had online only offer in easy rewards. Kiosks have been taken away but they can now place the order for you at the register (either on the actual register or a tablet/phone). The online coupons need to be put in as part of the order process and then you can add whatever items, do PM, and use the $10 off $30 at the register.

Thanks! I haven’t been using the $15/$60’s. Nice to know how to stack them!
I get my annual Maine Coon calendar from Staples kiosk. PM to cheapest online
($22 vs $14) and toss in an in-store filler (Ziploc bags, Kleenex 3-packs) so I can use a $10/$30. Resell the fillers.

There are currently 2 active $15 off $60 which are stackable and in theory $10 off $30 on top of it (and any in store promos that are going on, for example if they have $10 on every $50 spend, you can buy $140 worth, use 2 $15 off $60, then $10 off $30 and pay $100 and get $20 back. (The $10 on $50 was limit $200 in spend and one time use, so you might want to get something for $240 to max it out, but you obviously get a smaller discount. You can also PM, but the PM reduces the online coupon value (but the in store one is still good). Also those 15% off in store from way back when are still valid until 12/31, but personally I don’t love how they get applied. You can do a battery deal, $75 worth of batteries, $15 off $60, $10 off $30 and $50 back in points. Doesn’t have to be duracell either, but the specialty batteries might involve a CSR reach out, but so far they’ve given me the points.

Sorry everyone, been dealing with some family and work stuff. I did reset MrV’s password 12 days ago and thought the matter was settled as he mentioned he was still logged in under that account on his phone. @MrVietnam @CheapCharlie9 please ping me if you’re still having issues, and sometimes I miss the chat notifications, so please email me if I’m not responsive.

We’ll see in the coming days what Staples plans too.

I just saw something on reddit where they are having cashiers check id when redeeming points. That’s going to make things a lot more difficult for those managing multiple accounts.

By the way, MC, I just did change my password on PW and lately I’ve been going around site to site giving each account a unique password. It makes my job a little bit harder cause I have to remember all those passwords but it’ll be really tight security now on my accounts…

You should not be remembering your passwords. Either set up password manager in chrome, which will help you generate and store the passwords, or use something like keepass and put the password file on some cloud storage and sync with your phone.
