After signing up for $1.99 Prime 1-week trial, I was offered $5 for reading my first free ebook instead of watching a movie. Just as good! Thanks OP.

Thanks OP. Used my remaining $5 in Chase rewards, got the $15, and charged the rest on the Chase card with 5% cash back this quarter on Amazon.

RE: $5 free amazon credit from watching first movie on prime (email)
Currently I see a special where you get 1 week of Prime for $1.99, so this could be a $3.01 money maker if everyone gets this offer.

RE: PSA: Staples accepting recycle ink carts in store again (YMMV)
@mrvietnam said in PSA: Staples accepting recycle ink carts in store again (YMMV):
From the second paragraph: " Rewards may be redeemed at any Staples store, online at staples.com® with a minimum purchase of $100 or more.…"
I hope I’m misreading that.

RE: PSA: Staples accepting recycle ink carts in store again (YMMV)
Did anyone read the small print on the rewards? Do you actually have to make a $100 minimum purchase to use one.
If so, does that mean that I’d have to spend $200 to use two of them? -
RE: PSA: Staples accepting recycle ink carts in store again (YMMV)
Had to call one last time after getting credit for June carts in order to get credit for April. I turned in July carts in store.

RE: PSA: Staples accepting recycle ink carts in store again (YMMV)
Called in this morning after checking online rewards status still showing 0 carts for April and May, and 29 carts recycled in June (yes, a -9 balance).
I supplied the UPS tracking numbers for all three months, and it was confirmed that they received them. I was told that it takes 6 to 8 weeks to get credit, so I should get credit for May’s carts in July, and for June’s carts in August.
She did credit me $40 for April’s carts which should show up in my account in 3 to 4 days. -

Is there any cheap generic ink available for this model?

RE: PSA: Staples accepting recycle ink carts in store again (YMMV)
Thanks for the info. So has anyone received credit for mailed in carts yet? I’m still batting zero on that.

Still nothing in my account for mailed carts. I guess I’ll need to call on Monday.

Mine were delivered 4/15. I bet they’re inundated with mail in carts.

Amazon Prime free 30 day trial. YMMV
I click on the Amazon Prime button from time to time to see if they’re offering any trials. This morning I’m being offered a 30-day free trial. YMMV, of course.

RE: EZPay
@fivetalents said in EZPay:
I use EZPay-like processors once in a blue for stuff like an infrequent DMV payment, utility bill or something, but I can’t remember the specific name(s).
That F rating seems weak to me. It’s only based on 5 complaints in the past 3 years (2 in the past 12 months). Three customer reviews complained about the website not working/not being able to reach anyone by phone. Of the 5 complaints, the BBB characterized the F rating as “Failure to respond to 4 complaint(s).” Even the one unrelated customer complaint was about fees related to a returned payment due to insufficient funds, not fraud.
Nonetheless, I would never give direct access to my bank account (unless maybe it was a no fee secondary account with only enough funds for such payments… but even still). If you’re concerned about fraud, I’d use a Citi Virtual Account Number instead of the real card number (you can set it up to expire in 12 months and set an alert to remind yourself to add 12 months every year or generate/give EZPay a new VAN every year).
Thanks for the info. The Citi virtual Account number is a great idea, thanks. I completely forgot about that option. I’m planning on using a Citi “double cash card” (2% cash back) for this anyway.

@my4mainecoons said in EZPay:
I’ve never heard of EZPay. Is the $4.99 assessed by the insurance company or by EZPay?
I paid insurance with prepaid Visa’s that I bought at Staples when they were “on sale” with no activation fee and gave me 5% back with Chase Ink. No fee from insurance company so effectively saved 5% on insurance.
I think that the insurance company is using EZpay to process the pmt, so it’s EZpay that gets the $4.99. That cost would be the same if I used used a pre-paid Visa. If I remember right, there would be no fee to transfer the money from my checking account instead of using a credit card.

EZPay
So I’m considering using my Double Cash Mastercard (2% cash back) to pay for my homeowners insurance.
They charge $4.99 for the service, but the 2% cash back more than pays for that.My concern is the BBB “F” rating.
So, has anyone here had experience with EZpay, if so where there any problems / issues?

@my4mainecoons said in Staples Rewards Certificates extended to June 30th expiration:
@dangeruss I thought I read something about 7-10 days on the website and I was surprised given all the negative stuff I’ve heard about online recycling. So if it takes e.g. 4 days to get there then 3 days in quarantine before they open them then 10 days to process… Yeah, I’d ship them now for April. They go via UPS and my closest UPS drop off location is Staples.
Are Staples stores still accepting UPS drop off?
I scheduled a UPS pick up from home (front porch).
I shipped on 4/9 (from So. Cal.), and their estimated delivery is next Wednesday, 4/15, so 6 days.

RE: UPDATE 5/19 Staples Rewards Certificates extended to June 30th expiration
I just shipped mine in yesterday. It dawned on me that the mailing label is the only thing that identifies that it’s from
me. Was I supposed to print something to put into the box with the cartridges?
