Anyone else not get the ‘1000 pts when you recycle tech’ offer Easy Rewards under “For You” or “More Offers”? Not showing up in my app…

I just recycled a battery this morning and got my 1,000 points right away. It did list the offer in the app though. It was already activated. I didn’t have to activate it.

Thanks, it’s not there at all for me, to activate or pre-activated. I wonder if I’m just not eligible for tech recycling pts at all this month.

I am still getting 400pts for 50 cartridges again this month, too bad I don’t do those lol.

I got $50 in Paypal from them earlier this month. I’ve stopped using Topcashback since my last 4 purchases through them have not tracked. Even though Rakuten % is lower than TCB, at least they reliably track. Except for Priceline rental cars for some reason. The last 2 have tracked but stuck in “pending” I had to contact Rakuten to get paid. Priceline hotels are fine. I pretty much only use Rakuten now.

Fetch is currently having a ‘limited time deal’ on redemption of several gift cards: Albertsons, Kroger, Meijer, and Visa. I got the Visa $5 for 6300 pts, normally 7000. Albertsons $5 is 5950 pts, normally 7000 pts. No idea how long the ‘sale’ is good for.

I recycled my old cable and got 1000 pts after a few minutes like everyone else. However I also recycled a cable a couple days before the change so it’ll be interesting to see if I also get the $5 reward on the 2nd Thurs of March.

My account actually has the offer to earn 400 pts up to 50 cartridges per month. I haven’t recycled any for over 10 yrs but probably won’t start now.

That’s interesting since a U.S. CSR told me that the range is 5-40 carts/month.

Yeah it’s totally wasted on me. I dug through my junk box and managed to find 5 ink carts. Turned them into Staples today and got the 2000 pts after a few minutes. Glad they gave me credit for all 5 lol.

@pakle if you recycled tech on the old program you’ll get the old $5 reward. That’s it for Feb. You won’t get 1000 points if you recycle another item. I called and asked.

Thanks! I guess I won’t see that $5 reward until 2nd Thurs of March if it follows the old system. Probably better to have waited until after the change to get 1000 pts & faster credit and more flexibility I guess.

also wondering if it must be $5+ for 1000 or will they let you convert for $4.99

Online, you can apply only $4 of points for the $4.99 purchase. Don’t know about in-store, but my guess is the same.

Thanks! I forgot the Rewards can be used online! I guess because I only do tech recycling and those Rewards are in-store only. Love that you can do 600 pts for $3 off or whatever. The pt system is so much more flexible than trying to figure out how to maximize in $5/10 increments for me.

Just recycled a tech item, and the 1000 points were credited in 5 minutes.

Good to know! I did my tech item recycle a couple days before the change, and haven’t gotten pts yet. I’m going to recycle another old cable to see if it’ll trigger the 1000 pts…

I logged into today and was pleased to see I still had the $5 Rewards that expires 2/29 from tech recycling in Dec. I also got 1000 pts that says “Welcome Gift 2/6/24” under Points History!

I recycled an old cable a few days ago (before this new launch) so I wonder if I’m getting the 1000 pts for that as well. I guess I have so many I can recycle another one in a couple weeks if I don’t see it. I think they said the recycling pts should reflect much quicker than before??

PS. A relative told me they logged in and did not see the 1000 “Welcome Gift 2/6/24” but they also don’t have any leftover rewards either. Not sure if everyone is supposed to get the Welcome Gift…

I got the $5 Reward for Jan’s tech recycling, expires 3/31. I should be able to combine that with the one that expires 2/29. I still have the 1000 pts for “Welcome Gift 2/6/24” so I’m wondering if I get stuff worth $15, I can ‘convert’ the 1000 pts at the register and use the $10 in Rewards too.

If someone could report on their experience converting the pts at the register, I’d appreciate it. (also wondering if it must be $5+ for 1000 or will they let you convert for $4.99…)
