I just got some more great Capital One offers. I got a spend $30, get $25 back for Best Buy and a spend $20, get $20 at Home Depot. I also got a spend $5, get $5 at both Chewy and Office Depot.

I am using their card and I am also using the link on the offer just in case I have to go through that link for it to track.

Since they charge for shipping with my type of membership, I plan to order online with curbside pick up and hopefully that will work. Curbside pick up is free.

I will update this post within 45 days and let you know if I got my cash back or not. It will come in the form of rewards to the credit card.

I see those capital one offers often but I never quite understood it so never used it. Do I have to use their card to pay to make it work or can use any other other cc? Thanks in advance!

I have never done a Capital One cashback offer either, but these offers are too good just to let go by. The way I understand it is you have to use the Capital One credit card the offer was attached to. I think within 45 days they will give you the cashback in rewards to the credit card you used.

I usually shop at Sam’s Club and eBay anyway, so I might as well use the Capital One card to see if I get the cashback eventually or not but if not, it’s no big loss as it would be money I would be spending there anyway.

I saw these offers on my Capital One Quicksilver credit card. I do not see an expiration date listed.

The Sam’s Club offer:

I just recycled a coin battery. No $2.99 charge but no credit either.

I am in Southern California and I just recycled my 6 ink cartridges and one AA alkaline battery and I got 3000 points, so I got 500 points for each of the cartridges but no points for my alkaline battery and they didn’t charge me any fee luckily. I wonder what the select states that are being hit with a recycling fee are.

I still have a huge box of free after rewards batteries I got at Office Depot over the last decade, so I won’t be buying batteries for years to come.

You should check them. I’ve had to throw out a lot of brand new batteries because of leakage.

Thanks. I do. If they leak you can call Duracell and they will mail you a coupon for free batteries.

I just read on the Staples subreddit, the $2.99 fee is waived if you purchase a battery at the same time.

The fee is waived if you purchase batteries in the same transaction. And you can price match (to Walmart, where they’re half the price).

This will be useful when they run their Free after Rewards Batteries deals, then bring in a bag of 200 old batteries. Better than paying for batteries to recycle old ones

I still have a huge box of free after rewards batteries I got at Office Depot over the last decade, so I won’t be buying batteries for years to come.

Does anyone know of the items Staples will still recycle for free and you points back, besides monitors?

@penguin110 said in PSA: Staples scraps rewards points for recycling batteries as of 5/3/26. .:

I recycled a computer yesterday and received the points. The cashier listed it as a monitor.

Interesting. Thank you for testing it out. I wonder what other tech items they will give points for, even without having an offer on the app. I will recycle ink cartridges later today and try to recycle a battery and see if they impose a $2.99 charge or not. If they impose a charge, then I won’t recycle the battery but if not, I will and I’ll see if I get any points. From what I’ve read the fee might only be in certain states and not everywhere.

It’s kind of funny that Staples will make changes like this and not even tell the customers beforehand and just let them get to the store and find out. Seems like pretty poor customer relations.

@pakle said in PSA: Coming attractions - Staples will charge $2.99 fee to recycle batteries per transaction starting Sunday, 5/3/26. .:

So it looks like pts for tech recycle is totally gone? I read the initial comments and recycled a battery yesterday, no pts since I already did it in April. Now the tech recycling offer is totally gone from the app offers. Assume recycling an old cable won’t even get the ‘other tech’ pts now either.

That is what I am thinking too. I think now the points for recycling program may be limited entirely to ink and toner cartridges recycling. I guess one could test it out by recycling something “other technology” and see if they get any points.

@my4mainecoons said in PSA: Coming attractions - Staples will charge $2.99 fee to recycle batteries per transaction starting Sunday, 5/3/26. Recycle your montly alkaline battery now to avoid the fee.:

@mrvietnam May 2. I checked yesterday.

So then I have no case. I just assumed the offers were monthly. I won’t waste my time calling then. I have about 100 used AA batteries I will be throwing away soon as I can’t get rewards points for them anymore.

It looks like the only thing you can tecycle at Staples going forward are ink cartridges. I say that because as of this morning I only see a recycling offer for ink cartridges.

I wouldn’t be surprised if later this year they get rid of the ink recycling also. I’m with Mistercheap. Nothing would surprise me at this point as they make changes and don’t tell the customer in advance, kind of make changes.with no prior notice to their customers. Good thing I don’t have a box of three or 400 cartridges that could become worthless if they have plane to scrap the recycling program.
