@sonofzeus What exactly is the “$100 reward card” being offered?
Also getting “Error Submitting” when trying to submit the form.

@mistercheap Does the promo card expire?

Wow $5/mo now for 10 recycles. Did they do away with the $50/180 days purchase requirement?

Received email just now:

The wait is almost over. Our new loyalty program is launching soon and we can’t wait to share it with you.

Changes to your rewards account:

The Rewards number above will be your account number when the new program launches. Any other accounts connected with this account will be removed and will become their own individual accounts. All accounts will be able to start earning and redeeming right away.

Thanks again for being a loyal Staples Rewards® member.

Guess we’ll see what this means in a few days…

@mistercheap I use 4K Video Downloader which is free. I did get VCapDL as well just as a backup. In doing some testing 4K Video Download is faster than VCapDL (at least on some Youtube videos that I tested it on.)

“Oops, we can’t find that coupon code.”

@yoregano
Just tried to use them, and both 5177 and 5173 are dead today.

Can % Back codes be used for the $50 every 180 days purchase to qualify for ink and toner recycling rewards? Or does that disqualify that purchase for the $50 minimum spend?

I am unable to view my available rewards on Staples.com. Is anyone else having this problem?

I’m able to see mine just fine. Maybe try another browser and/or clear your browser cache.

@sonofzeus Thanks OP! Just ordered up a tank exchange. The regular price does seem a bit high (I think I get a 15lb fill for around $15 at my local Costco), but can’t beat the promo $10 price (and they take expired tanks.)

UPDATE: Just got it delivered yesterday. Tank mfg date is 2022.

I can provide a non-simulated environment if anyone wants to try it for real. (And then come by every other week to try it again.)

Somehow they never seem to plan for these things…

Now Sold Out

Found out that Staples does not allow you now to use any unused remaining balance of your monthly Rewards. You must use up the entire amount in the transaction you are using it on, or any remaining amount is lost. They use to print up a remaining balance coupon at the end of the register receipt, but not anymore.

Turned in my recycles yesterday and a 10 off 30 printed on the receipt.

@mistercheap I was at Staples on the 16th and asked them if there were any special promotions happening for Earth Day, and they said they didn’t know of anything.

@c3 said in Staples.com Online Savings Codes. See last posts for most current codes.:

Exclusions are mostly meaningless. They all say that technology is excluded, but they still work on a lot of tech items.

BTW, someone on SD posted that the 35284 coupon may not expire until 7/2/2022.

Tried to use this in-store on a case of bubble mailers. Said the coupons was not valid.

In the fine print:
This is a 1-computer 1-year license, for commercial or noncommercial use.

@597404 Is this only for in-store (B&M) purchases? I did try the 5 digit code on a online order, and it said it was not valid.

You can also get them as a single pack for $0.69.

Great for when you need a filler item. (Haven’t found anything cheaper than this – I really miss the $0.25 tape dispenser cores they use to have.)

Yes, it only comes with the Amazon App store, but can be hacked pretty easily to access Google Play.

@sonofzeus said in Staples Double Ink Recycle Rewards when you buy ink/toner & Recycle on SAME TRANSACTION In Store / April 17 - 24:

What do you buy with REWARDS that can be converted to cash?

Ahhh, in the old days, it was so, so easy and you’d even make money on the rewards with free after rebate items that you could also use a coupon on . Staples Rebates dried up about 3 years ago.

Now, I use them on household/coffee/bottled water, etc. etc when they have a sale. Or sometimes I ship stuff to family using them since I have free shipping with PLUS.

Ah the good ol’ days. Yeah, these days I mostly buy staples (har har) with my rewards bucks. So just regular consumable household stuff like toilet paper, paper towels, toothpaste, cleaners, garbage bags, etc.

From the Staples thread:
“When I received my second dose I was told “don’t laminate it!” because they won’t be able to write on it if/when we receive booster shots. They said to instead make a photocopy or scan both sides, place back to back, and laminate that. Then carry that with you and keep the original in a safe place.”

Looks like PSEG is a New Jersey area thing.

Enter your email and you’ll get a $10 code. You can use that code to get the Water bottle or Shaker cup free, or the other items cheap. Shipping is free.

Didn’t work for me. Apparently you had to enter an email address to where they sent a prior notification.

Okay, so I saw that my August submission has shown up under my purchases, but it only shows the usual $2/recycle amount. When/how do the Double Recycling rewards get credited?

This seems like a scheme for Office Depot to sequester your money by offering a loss-leader. This should be like $6 retail.

@mistercheap
Hey guys, how does this Double Ink Recycling work? I went and turned in my 20 cartridges today (I’m a Premiere member), and the cashier said that I could turn in 20 more this month, is that correct? So in addition to paying $4/recycle they’re going to allow me to turn in 40 cartridges according to this guy, for a total payout of $160 this month? (Color me skeptical.)

Murphy’s Law: Never expect a staples cashier to understand Staples policies even if they claim to!

Double Ink Recycle means double the earn amount, not double the carts turned in.

You can recycle 20 carts and get $80 in rewards vs standard $40.

However, this program runs until 9/9 so you can turn in another 20 bet. 9/1-9/9 and get double again for Sept. But you can’t turn in another 20 in Aug and get $160 in rewards (please chk the end date, I’m typing this off memory, so don’t hold me to that Sept expiration date)

Yeah, thanks, that’s what I thought. Yeah I called another store to confirm and they didn’t even know they were doing the Double Ink recycling. Okay, will need to recycle early next month then.

Nice. Been waiting on this after missing out the last time.

Grabbed both! Thanks for the reminder!

Hmmm. Pack of 2 washing machine balls for $65.99 with a rebate of $65.99. How big are these balls?!?!

@mrsguin
Just ordered a pack. Not deliverable until Aug 4th.

@george2001 said in PSA: Staples accepting recycle ink carts in store again (YMMV):

Thanks for the info. So has anyone received credit for mailed in carts yet? I’m still batting zero on that.

I received credit for May, but not April. May submission was credited on May 31st.

@dangeruss I have not seen anything credited for April on my account. Generated a label for May. Might send them in this week.

@bc Yeah I was in the same boat, with a grandfathered T-Mobile pay-as-you-go. But I found myself having to buy refill cards more and more often, to the point where just talk and text was starting to cost me on the order of $15/month (and that was without any data plan.) So finally decided it wasn’t worth it and switched over.

@fivetalents
Not to threadcrap, but if you’re going to be using T-Mobile’s network, and you need a bit more talk/text/data, another good deal is using Mint Mobile. They offer unlimited talk and text + 3GB of data per month for $15/month (if you prepay for 12 months of service.) You can use my referral link if you want to get an additional $10 credit on your first month of service: https://bit.ly/2yevtO
You can BYOD, but it must be an unlocked GSM phone in order for it to be used.

If you’re going to buy these masks, just buy a reusable, washable cloth mask (they’d work just as well.) Also, buy from a US shop making the masks, they need the work to keep their employees working.

Uh, yeah “free”…

@fivetalents
Why would you buy an incandescent flashlight these days?

You could read the 2,000+ 5-star reviews, over 50 in the past three months.
It would be more helpful to share which type(s) you recommend and why, including price points/size. I have one and love it.

Some examples from the local Home Depot today. Much brighter and longer lasting and the incandescent Maglight:

@fivetalents

I can never check out on these for some reason. Same deal this time. I get to the screen where it looks like you’re suppose to be choosing a payment method, and then it just skips past that and then gives me an error message saying I can’t complete the purchase.

If you spend > $75 on ink this week you’ll earn 25% back in Rewards instead of the usual 5%.
Unlike the online offers this one B&M only includes HP.
Recently all the online ink deals have excluded HP.

I hound ink is more expensive in store than it is online, about 25% more expensive in some cases. At least that was the case when I bought my Brother toner cartridge, so the 25% you get in Rewards will be about the everyday online price with no rewards to have to liquidate.

Do you guys buy ink to resell? I have no use for staples ink, but need to buy $30+ every 6 months. If you do resell, which ones do you buy?

I usually buy HP, and it’s whichever cartridge is not on special sale, and is the least amount over the $30 threshold. I’ll then list it up on eBay for maybe $20, and if it doesn’t sell, then I get $2 back for in on the next recycling cycle the next month.

Yup, same here.

If you’re monetizing Rewards/gc better off not using the coupons, right?

I’ll bet Staples Rewards would count as coupons

I was wondering about this myself. Recent purchases using Staples Rewards does show the amount taken off as a “coupon”, so I’m guess that we’re out of luck on trying to monetize using this offer.

@fivetalents Nope. Just tried it again and still get the same error message.

Was not allowing me to checkout for some reason.

Where are you getting stuck, and what exactly happens/is there an error message? I can see the offer in ny cart in Chrome (PC). When I click the blue “buy now” button, I get the PayPal login screen.

Maybe try closing and restarting your browser, clearing cookies, restarting your device, using a different browser, or using a different device,

I get logged in to Paypal, and I see it trying to build the shipto/Pay now screen, but then it flips me to this screen:
