Has anyone dealt with Staples rewards Theft??

This problem has been going on for years. A couple years ago a huge number of $5 to $25 gift checks and Discovery card reward checks were stolen and those flooded eBay for more than a year before they ended the program. It was believed that someone who worked in Staples marketing dept was selling the codes to coupon distributors at 90% off the face value. Although the corporate office started an internal investigation those thieves were never caught. Maybe those guys are back, who knows
