I literally just got back from Staple where I recycled batteries and saw this post. I opened the app and it said I just earned 2000 points so it looks like I did not have to activate the offer. If I look for the offer, I cannot find it so looks like it worked
I think if you click on the email, possibly it auto activates the offer? I saw my offers under 'For You', and it wasn't listed. Then I clicked the 'more offers' tab and I saw it pop up. The activate box was checked already for the recycling offer, unlike the other offers. Once I recycled and 'used' the coupon, the coupon disappeared.
Yes, any kind of battery is OK. Alkaline, lithium, NiCad, etc. I've heard of people who recycle 1 single battery each month, which is a little extreme. But it works.
I've recycled a single CD most months and gotten the credit each time.
I recycled my tech item in 1 transaction and then recycled 20 inks in a separate transaction this morning.
I just checked my Rewards and I received 2000 for the tech item and then received 400 points each for only 19 inks. Therefore, the problem from the past couple of months has still not been fixed.
However, for the 20th ink, I received another 2000 points. Therefore, I will not be complaining about the missing 400.
This kind of makes up for me not recycling tech last week (and missing out on 1000 points) because I listened to someone on SD that told me that it's limited to only 1 tech recycling reward per calendar month.
Anyone else fortunate like I was to get an extra 1600 points?

Check Points History on the app and it gives description of each pts activity.

It seems that you misunderstood my comment. I did check my points history on the website. I was saying that I received an extra 2000 points for recycling 1 of the 20 inks instead of 400. That's why I received an extra 1600 points.

I don't think I even opened any emails from Staples and definitely did not click on any links in them. I only read the post here right after returning from Staples, opened the the app, and it said I got the bonus points. Fine with me :-)

Ok, you need to let this go, you made the final choice, own up and move on.

You are correct.
However, had I not listened to that person, I would have also recycled my 20 inks last week and I then would have only received an extra 600 points instead of 1600. So that person actually ended up giving me good advice. That's all I was trying to say.
