Yes, giftcard is treated as cash.

Quote from iyg : I only earn $100/month, but I have a hard time cashing them out recently =.= i wasted $40 rewards 2 months ago =(

2 months ago there were plenty of deals out there.

Quote from drhass : There's a MM software deal out there right now. If you have any expiring rewards, I'd jump on it.

Which one is it?
How did I miss it? Thx.

McAfee Total Protection 3 PC. search https://www.stapleseasyrebates.com for mcafee

Use the 20% off everything in the bag to make it a MM

Also. Total Defense Premium / Unlimited (if you haven't done it already). Both are mail in rebates (not easy rebates)

I went to Staples the other day with the coupons for this deal, I have to end up giving it up in the end.
They gave you the look that: you are cheap.

Staples needs to train them well, don't unleash like that. For now, I probably just pay for Costco paper. I have to admit that I am a coward.

IF I was ever in a situation of wasting rewards there are a couple of options. 1) Buy and return something in the last 7 days they are good to extend the rewards another month or 2) at least buy some overpriced Staples staples like TP, paper towels, etc. and make some use of the rewards.

Thx. It says that "Rebate amount paid to customer for single or combined rebate offers may not exceed the purchase price of the McAfee product." Does that mean I may not receive $65 in check?
Can I do both total defense premium and unlimited?

I was waiting on a good deal and forgot to use it at the end.

From past experience, I've always received the full amount from McAfee, regardless of rewards / coupons used.

Quote from iyg : Can I do both total defense premium and unlimited?

Yep.

Understood. I have to remind myself to pay certain bills via an entry in Google calendar least I forget to pay them as they don't have ebill notification.

BTW, are you premier? IIRC, Staples sends out emails for expiring rewards for premier members. Have never gotten to that point. When the thieves were stealing rewards checks I was cashing them out within minutes of issuance via online orders. Thankfully, the theft has stopped with the new system of generating those codes.

Hmm, I cannot find the total defense software on Staples. Is it a ghost product or sth?

I am premier, but I don't receive any email regarding expired rewards.

It is only sold in the stores so you will not find it on Staples.com. You can find the skus on the rebate in the rebate center using "total" via the product keyword search. If you care to you can call Staples.com (1-800-333-3330) and ask them to check store inventory with the skus. Or call the store instead.

You won't find TD on staples.com, it's a continuing rebate. Go to https://www.stapleseasyrebates.com and do a keyword search for total defense. You've got until Nov 2013 to submit it, plenty of time.

Last week I bought the paper and the Lysol wipes in the same transaction. I thought I would be fine since they are both rewards items and I paid them cash.
The 5-ream paper coupon took off 4.99 to make the paper "free after rewards", but according to my awards account, I didn't get full rewards credit for the wipes. A % of the paper coupon shows like it went to the wipes as well.
Just posting this to warn others not to loss part of their rewards this way as well since it is the same coupon out this week.
