Since this is new program, thought I’d post my experience so far.

Sunday & Monday of this past week I made 3 purchases in 2 different stores.
The purchases were not in my purchase history until Thursday and still didn’t show anything towards the “purchase 3” reward.
Thursday night I made 4th purchase.
Friday I made a purchase in 2 different stores.
Friday PM I now have a “pending” $5 Reward. Says it will be emailed in 7-14 days.
Will post when the email appears and what happens with the 2nd Reward.

Reward #1: $1.89 oop
Reward #2: 88¢ oop

@psxzombie If you keep redeeming the ones for points with 5+ gallon purchase they start sending 8+ gallon purchase. Enjoy them while they last.

Might be too much fuss for some but I’ve redeemed a lot of gas offers:
I would get 5.01 gallons to earn the bonus points for eg 200PP wyb 5+ gallons.
I would get 4.51 gallons to earn the bonus points for eg 10x points on gallons of gas purchase.

The distinction is that the system rounds up when they’re multiplying the gallons but NOT when minimum is required to earn a bonus.

If I needed a full tank I’ve bought eg 5.01 gallons on one Plenti card and another 5.01 gallons on another Plenti card and received bonuses on both cards.

Recycle your old tech for free and earn a $10 coupon.

From November 12 to November 18, gather up your old electronics and bring them to your nearest Staples® store and if you are a Rewards member, we’ll give you a coupon for $10 off your next purchase of $30 or more.

*Coupon will be printed on the receipt when items are recycled. Coupon terms apply. Not applicable on business exclusive pricing or custom pick pricing. Limit of one coupon per customer, not per item recycled. See our FAQs for more details on our recycling program.

NB: Coupons don’t work on items with rebates.

In the past have been able to work around the 1 per Rewards acct by not giving Rewards card.
In the past have been able to recycle one item at a time and earn more than one coupon.

I have a hard time finding anything I want that doesn’t have a rebate or isn’t on sale. If folks find things, please post.

@mistercheap yeah I understand no true oop but I put oop instead of “price at the register”. I’m looking at how to break up transactions based on Reward checks. I’ll have 2 @ $50, 2 @ $40 and a $30 to cash out.

1 McAfee & 2 Sharpies will use a $50 Reward check but has to be done B&M.
1 McAfee online uses a $40 Reward check and give up the penny.

I can do more w/ Sharpies & paper than with McAfee so might go for 3 Sharpies ($18) & 4 Reams ($33) = $51 (twice) and a copy of McAfee (twice).
2 addresses for rebates.

@myisland Check eBay gift card page daily-- they list the ones “on sale” or create a “product alert” so eBay emails you when new items come up for sale. The problem with option #1 is that you have to check every day. The problem with #2 is you may receive emails about listings you have no interest in. You can set up frequency of emails, eg immediate, once a day, once a week, etc.

@mistercheap 11/23-11/24? Is Staples going to be open on Thanksgiving Day 11/23?

For those looking to monetize Rewards:
Ream paper $8.29 oop w/o any coupons
Sharpies $6 oop
McAfee $39.99 oop

@buckmann I have 20 copies of McAfee from August for which I received rebates w/o installation.

@atikovi How do you sort? I was thinking of using Excel. I suppose I could also do screen shots of the TurboLister pages.

@briarycliffs didn’t you use to be a golden retriever? miss it.

@ctgolfer The white is my fave. The fabric on the black one isn’t as nice – rougher and it attracts fur which you can really see.
