@c3 Dunno, https://www.staples.com/stores/recycling
still says the 1000 pts for tech recycling expires 3/30/24. I don’t see any update on the app either. Hope they have something for Earth day.

Yeah I don’t see the 1000 pts for tech recycling on the app and the website still says it expired on 3/30/24. Hope it comes back later…

It’s the 2nd Thurs of the month (as of EST) and I just got the $5 Reward for recycling a cable in Feb, a couple days before the new program began. I also got 1000 pts for recycling another cable right after the new program began. So total of $10 (Reward & Pts) for tech recycling in Feb due to the program change. In addition to the 1000 pts for recycling a cable last week in March.

Anyone know of a workaround for the -1 ink cartridge problem?

From SD, no personal experience:

1. Recycle 21 cartridges. That should take care of both tech and ink recycling.
2. Recycle tech first, and then ink in a separate transaction. May not be as reliable as #1.

#2 worked for me last month. I did them on separate days (tech first) and only did 4 inks but did get credit for all 4.

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 updated the app and now I see the ‘1000 pts when you recycle tech’ offer pre-activated under Easy Rewards.

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.
