To those who turned in ink/cartridges and technology this month before the new rewards program started, you can turn more in this month and get the rewards under the new program as well.

OT- I see they are trying to save by cutting store hours as well. Now the store doesn’t open until 11AM on Sundays, was 9AM. Used to be 8AM during the week and they pushed that back to 9AM-8PM, not even open 12 hours.

One store near me opens at 10 and another at 11 on Sunday. It has been that way for a while.

I bought a $200 visa gc and recycled a cable & 15 ink @ 400 points. I was expecting 7K points but only earned 6600. 🤔

Yeah, something similar when I recycled 20 inks on 2/8. I got 1,000 points “when you recycle tech, batteries and more”, then 400 points 19 times for the inks, for a total of 8,600 points.

On the bright side, they say I already have $43 of “Easy Rewards ready to redeem”.

But I definitely miss the ability to SEARCH site-wide on their website on my PC.
Have to use the Staples mobile app for that!!

Same thing for me with turning in 20 and only showing the 400 points 19 times.

This is going to be a cluster **** for a while.

@rsuaver If 50 cents in rewards for ink & toner and with their highly overinflated prices, I might just be done with Staples.

So for all practical purposes, the free birthday sub has ended.

For me, yes. With my work schedule, when I eat at these type of places, it is on the weekend.

@penguin110 Thanks for sharing this. will keep in HD for a few days, then move to DD so everyone can see this as it is important, if not ‘vague’ news.

What troubles me about this is, absolutely NO mention of the ink rewards program (changes, does it continue, etc) especially for those of us who have invested in cartridges and spent $50 on ink in recent months to get the 7 month benefit of recycling total. They’d better not reset the program and penalize people who’ve already bought ink or even worse, D/C it altogether. I never trust announcements that give you no information other than to tell you ‘how great’ a new program will be, but we’ll just ambush you with it on 2/1.

If it’s so great, then tell me what you are planning to do! otherwise it’s not great to be left in suspense.

Thanks, I wasn’t sure where to post it. I will definitely complain if they reduce the recycling benefits. I made my ink/toner purchase a month or so ago and was just charged the fee for my plus account.
