Quote from adamant : Are you not planning on recycling any time in the next 6 months?

I agree with jjj444yes. Recycle TODAY, before the 3/15 deadline. There will probably be more double ink promotions sometime in the next 180 days that will help you meet the $30 spending requirement and also get recycling bonuses.

Worst case, wait 180 days from your April recycling and buy ink you would use anyways.

Quote from ConnieL2527 : Make sure to submit your battery rebate for the purchase $50 or more http://blog.officezilla.com/wp-co...rebate.pdf

Nice, repped. I didn't know they were doing this again. I did do a Duracell rebate at the end of 2012 and it came quickly with no problems at all.

Is anyone else in the test market where they offer instant 10% off on paper and ink (as opposed to 10% back in rewards)? I am hoping that the 10% instant and 5% in rewards will stack.

Quote from SUCHaDEAL : A Couple of reminders: The Duracell Batteries are LIMIT 2 PERIOD (not per sku, you can get 1 of each or 2 of one kind (AA or AAA) DO NOT USE ANY COUPONS OR REWARDS, if you are using rewards to cash out. split the order so the duracells are NOT part of that order since coupon use of any kind gets prorated against all items on the order. ______________________________________________________________________ You will now only earn 5% rewards on FAER ream paper (vs 10%) before, however, you will now also get 5% rewards on the FAER photo paper which in the past, earned 0%! ________________________________________________________________________ REBATE ITEMS are NOT reduced by rewards used.

Good point!! Also make sure that when using your rewards in store--you will get a print out of your balance of coupon on your first time use and then the remaining balance is good on a ONE time purchase ONLY and any balance left will be forfeited.

Quote from pbmpharmacist : I got $20 for the subscription offer (Visa card came in LESS THAN A WEEK).

Do we have to activate for $20 offer? If yes, then I guess we cannot re-sell them.

Quote from YoSlick : Can you do these Mcafee rebates as most others? That is can you do a rebate each time it is offered or does "1 per household" mean that if you got one on another week you can't get this one?

while the offer doesn't say "per year"... the general consensus is...

the safe route is to do it 1 per product, per household (where 1 PC, 3 PC, 2012, 2013,, IS, TP, AV+, etc and all variations in between are different products)...

and... then find some other households...


others have stated that the per year (even when present.. which is NOT the case here) has yet to be enforced...


for me... I just don't want to take any chances..






Mcafee has been pretty damn reliable as far as the MIR world goes.. (which has really gone downhill..... Intuit... Tigerdirect... to name a few of the worst)

No activation or CC# is needed. Just fill out a website, get $20 visa card in 1-1.5 weeks

Quote from coolmuke : Do we have to activate for $20 offer? If yes, then I guess we cannot re-sell them.

yes, YOU have to activate it...

seriously folks... keep discussing this openly so that the answer will be YES...

If you can find manufacture's coupons to use on the batteries (and the cashier takes them) the staples system counts it as payment. The $4 off 2 packs coupon was great when this deal was around each week in December.

Quote from SUCHaDEAL : assuming you could recycle 20 (premier) at $4 per cart, it would look like this: $50 in ink get back $2.50 in rewards for 5% ink and $80 in ink recycle rewards for $82.50 total. since you get $40 normally, you are getting back another $42.50, so the ink is costing you $7.50. now keep in mind, you have to spend $35 anyway every 180 days in ink to maintain the ink recycle payout if you haven't bought ink in the last few months.

I know that. I was referring to 2x rewards but 0.25x normal ink double double, so (2*0.25) = 0.5, or Half Half. Nevermind

Quote from jjj444yes : was that on a 1 pc or 3 pc? and was that a small disc less box? or larger cd having retail box?

It was a 3 PC in the larger box with a CD in it (Staples item # 957358).

is it just me or does the date look funny?

nvoice(s) must be dated from January 1, 2013 through March 31, 2012.

Quote from coolmuke : Do we have to activate for $20 offer? If yes, then I guess we cannot re-sell them.

Yes, but why would you want to resell it? They mail you a $20 visa card for free IN LESS THAN A WEEK. I went on Amazon and converted into an Amazon gift card in 2 or 3 minutes.

No one has an opinion on that email sent from the Office of the President?

Quote : Dear: The new Rewards program requires that you purchase $30 on ink in the past 6 months since your last ink recycling. So each time you recycle ink, that is the new start date for keeping track of ink purchases. Hope that helps, have a good day! Sincerely, Christopher Fernandes Office of the President Staples, Inc.
