Office Depot 100% back in rewards on select supplies 09/30/2012-10/06/2012

Quote from kfpanda : I used that same coupon last night to purchase the tape.

Quote from Cagnotte : You may wish to log out and clear cookies/cache.

Quote from bpvh : As others have noted, the reason the coupon is not attaching to your order is not because the order is being split up. The splitting of an order into more than one shipment has no impact on whether a coupon attaches.

Thanks to all for your help. Repped.

Clearing cookies and cache did not help. I added more items to get the total (minus the amount for the tape) above $75, and then it took the coupon.

Quote from bpvh : Early Sunday morning they were available. I ordered and received two of each.

It wasn't for me even early Sunday morning. Is the online availability based on region location?

Quote from mperlste1 : It wasn't for me even early Sunday morning. Is the online availability based on region location?

yeah depends on warehouse location (since they ship locally).

Of course. They have many regional distribution centers.

Quote from kimdotcom : Oh, that's good, I thought that if you gave them the rewards check and they scan it, it would show your name, regardless if they look you up? Because in staples the rewards number shows up when you use a rewards check, this what happens. Is that what you meant?

The rewards number is on the reward so if you don't give them your card, they COULD just decide to enter it from the rewards certificate and if that should happen the name on the card prints on the receipt.

I've never ever had any issues with using a rewards check with another card. I don't think they even check to see if it's the same card number.

Is anyone know if the Office Depot Copy Card consider as a gift card or merchandise cards? I have a copy card and not sure if I could pay with it and get the reward back? TIA

Be very careful with gift cards at Office Depot for these 100% rewards purchases, and in my opinion it is best to use them for other purchases like the FAR software. If any merchandise was returned to that card then it may disqualify the reward (up to the amount you used up from the card). That happened to me once. It wasn't obvious looking at the card I used that it was anything other than a gift card.

Is it a bad idea to mix freebie coupons with these 100% rewards deals? I know the terms indicate that it is, but I thought the reports were that it worked out fine during the last 100% rewards promo. Am I remembering it wrong?

Bad idea, indeed. Your rewards will be reduced by the assigned value of the freebie.

From the wiki:
'Q04. Does using coupons impact the rewards payout?

Yes. Using coupons to pay for 100% back in rewards items will reduce the rewards payout. This includes the stated value of freebie coupons. While dollar off coupons are useful in reducing the initial outlay, the eventual rewards payout, and the amount of sales tax paid if applicable, freebie coupons will reduce the rewards payout at the inflated value given to the freebie items.

"The price of an item eligible for Rewards is the price paid at checkout after the deduction of coupons, other discounts, the value of free items and the value any Office Depot Rewards and Merchandise Cards/Certificates applied to that purchase."*"

Never mind. Wrong brand of batteries.

Did anyone have their purchases on Sept 16 posted? My reward is still not posted for some reason.

I know it is normal for Officedepot to post the reward sometime later or at the time of reward payout. But all my other purchases have posted except the purchase on the week of Sept 16.

9/16 purchase should have been posted under your purchase history a while ago, if it is not you won't get any rewards for it, send them an email

rewards should also have been posted under rewards status

e.g.
"100% back on select supplies (9/16 - 9/22) $145.78 100% $145.78 "
