Hi all, I'm a complete newbie to Staples rewards. I have $100 in rewards. From reading these threads, gather that I want to purchase items that have rebates and not rewards to cash out the $100. Is that correct? So I'm confused why some are talking about purchasing both the free after rebate and free after reward items. Is it because they are not using rewards as payment? If anyone can shed any light on how I can spend the $100, it would be greatly appreciated!

I don't want to waste a lot of people's time, so is there a thread that spells out the ink deals from before so I can figure out what is going on? I'm completely lost as to what is double double and not and HP ink vs other brand ink. I need to purchase ink, but not HP ink so I'm trying to figure out what everyone is talking about. Thanks much everyone!

Hi there.

First rule of cashing out your rewards into actual money is to buy FAR products since you get the money back by rebate. DONT buy free after rewards items with rewards money since it doesn't roll over, meaning you will not get any rewards back if you use rewards money to buy free after rewards.

Now about double and double double. There are these special weeks where you get double rewards for upto 5 carts if you buy HP ink which is called double. And if they also offer a percentage back as rewards on buying ink, then it becomes double double.

Quote from jjj444yes : it would be wise to screen shot.. and otherwise document that for your benefit... in the event, that things turn out differently... as has been known to happen from time to time exactly.. not touching this thing with a 10 ft poll... had to work too hard to fix last month's double recycle and my view is. the less you contact rewards CS.. the less opportunity they have to add "additional cardholders" to your account

Haha I just had an additional cardholder added to my account after chatting with them. I'm such a noob.

Quote from Elementary_Watson : It has worked but when people were abusing coupons sometime ago on downloads it would go to research and then they would ask you if you wanted to remove the coupon or cancel the order. Have not heard of that happening lately since the Chinese coupon hackers went out of business.

I actually had that happen to me in december. Used a legit coupon I received in the email on a download version, got a call from Staples that it can't be used. Person calling said they will reissue the coupon for me to use on a delivery product, never happened.

this is still happening... downloads + coupons + shipping to non tax states = fast ticket to "researching"

and can lead to other non fun things... such as blacklisting, merging.. etc

Quote from Elementary_Watson : See this thread: http://slickdeals.net/f/4047718-S...App-Thread You can install bluestacks(Android emulater) on a PC or Mac and generate mobile app coupons. All the coupons are/were mobile app coupons.

Quote from Elementary_Watson : Only with a manager override and since with Ebay you won't have a physical coupon it makes that harder. You can call Staples.com after making the purchase and try to get a credit for the purchase if you still meet the minimum for the kiosk amount. In any case, that item is OOS at the moment. Online only coupons have not worked in the store on store or kiosk purchases since 5/1/11 when they changed the store system to not accept them.

I never heard blue stacks before, would like to try that but found out support os has no windows 8, do you know anyone successfully run it on win 8?

Thank you

Quote from ksquires1991 : the staples multipurpose case coupon for this week should work on sunday for the 49.99 case paper with 25$ rebate. Making is FAR

Good point, thank you,

The rebate limit is 2 right? Meaning two free cases?

Quote from gswood : Good point, thank you, The rebate limit is 2 right? Meaning two free cases?

Yes on the rebate limit but coupon has theoretically expired and says limit 1 on the coupon.

I get mental highs from successfully stacking coupons at the register.

Well we can buy 1 case at 2 different stores then. That should work as long as cashier scans the coupon.

When this deal came up I was like not MORE paper. But considering the 10% back on paper will cover the sales tax it is not too bad. $25 for the spend for each case and FARewards & Rebate.
