I have Premier and there’s a $35 minimum for free shipping. So is paying for Plus a better deal than earning free Premier?
Dear Staples Rewards Premier Member,
Thank you for being a Staples Rewards® member. We’ve made some updates to simplify the program. We’d like to take some time to explain what this means for you.
The new changes are:
Delivery is now free with an order of $35 or more*
Consistent with our sustainability efforts, we’ll no longer mail ink and toner rewards – they will be available online.
Resellers are not eligible to earn or redeem rewards
We remain committed to ensuring our Rewards program is valuable. You’ll continue to enjoy these benefits:
2% back in rewards*
$2 back in rewards on ink + toner recycling*
Member-exclusive deals
Bonus sales events
Free, expedited refunds
$25 annually for in-store print and marketing services
$20 annually for in-store technology services
Keep in mind if you order from a Kiosk in store, shipping is free for all orders. You’d have to save $49 in shipping costs to break even, so that’s your benchmark. Also, if you’re already allowed to recycle 20 on your premier status per month, the free shipping is really the only benefit you are getting for your $49.
