What is a Staples Rewards Check? Can I cash it at a bank?
Staples Rewards Check is a fancy name for essentially a coupon. It can only be redeemed at Staples. It has no cash value so it cannot be put in your bank.
You said Rewards Checks are a coupon, how are people using this and another coupon? Isn’t that double stacking?
No, on Staples coupons, they even tell the cashier the process for scanning, scan the coupon then scan any rewards coupons. Rewards are an earned from doing something. So really think of them as cash that can only be used at Stapes, much like Extra Care Bucks for those familiar with CVS.
How do you get your Rewards Check?
As of March 1, 2011, you can only receive your rewards check by computer.
When do you get your rewards?
I suggest just setting up your email properly with them because they send out great email alerts. But with that being said, usually somewhere around the 15th of the month.
Can I use a % off and a $ off coupon at Staples then?
YMMV, some can get managers to do this, most can’t. Usually they only accept one Staples coupon.
Where do people get coupons?
In the mail, in their emails, or from sellers like those on eBay or other sites. Kindly email someone in this thread that seems to know what they are talking about and they will tell you other places.
People are talking about ‘fake’ coupons, what are they talking about?
There are coupon sites out there that you pay a small fee for Staples coupons and they generate a coupon for you. Everyone has their own opinion on these coupons. Use at your own risk and as your mind allows you. THESE FORUMS SHOULD NOT TURN INTO A DEBATE ABOUT STAPLES COUPONS.
Does Staples accept manufacture coupons?
Officially from Staples HQ, YMMV. They say it is managers discretion. Nearly everyone I have talked to and in my experience, yes they do.
Can I use a coupon on free after rewards purchases?
Yes, BUT you get the proportional cost back in rewards. I.e. You have $50 in Free After Rewards and use a $10 coupon, you will only receive $40 in Rewards.
Do gift cards also affect my rewards pay out?
No, you will get 100% of your rewards due because gift cards are essentially cash.
Can I use my rewards checks on free after rewards purchases?
Yes, but it is the same as coupons. If you ask a pro-Stapler though, you are a fool if you use your rewards check on something that is free after rewards.
Does using a coupon on a SER (Staples Easy Rebates i.e. 95% of the rebates from Staples) purchase affect my rebate?
No, you will get 100% of your rebate no matter what coupon you used. If it says the rebate is $4.99, you will still get $4.99 back in a rebate even if you used a coupon. So for example, buy a $20 item with a $20 rebate and use a $5 coupon. You will pay $15 but you will still get a $20 rebate.
Does using my rewards check affect my SER rebate?
No, you will still get 100% of your rebate, like the above situation.
Do gift cards also affect my SER rebate pay out?
No, you will get 100% of your rewards due because gift cards are essentially cash.
How does Staples do their ink rewards
Ink comes to you as a Staples Rewards Check. You get $2 per a cartridge. 10 cartridges can be recycled by regular members per a month and 20 can be recycled by a premier member per a month. No minimum purchases necessary before you can get your reward.
How do you become a premier member?
You become a premier member by spending $1,000 (less coupons and rewards checks) at Staples in a calendar year.
$1,000!?!?! That's insane!
Not really, items with rebates count towards your $1,000. So say you buy a $20 item that has a $20 rebate, you will have $20 towards your premier status. However, use a $5 coupon on that $20 purchase, you will get your $20 rebate but only $15 will be counted towards your premier status.
How do I know how close I am to premier?
StaplesRewardsCenter.com has been updated and now has a nice tracker when you log into your account.
What are the benefits for premier?
20 ink cartridges a month, free shipping on everything at Staples.com, 5 months expiration date of rewards, and certain special premier only events.
When do you receive SERs (Staples Easy Rebate)?
Typically, 30 days after you submitted it.
OP, you failed to factor the stamp into the rebate.
Before you sit there and go through all the cost of transaction, learn a bit about Staples. SERs are EASY. You simply go online with your receipt and submit it. You can mail it if you want (and they give you a hell of a lot of paper to mail it) but that's insane!

that is a rebate deal....REBATE is not REWARDS. your rebate will go thru fine. Rewards deals are subject to different rules at Staples.
if you use a coupon/rewards to pay on a REWARDS deal (such as this), you will lost PART OR ALL Of the rewards value of the promo depending on the item........which is very poor use of your rewards check.

not sure about what? my info regarding use of rewards checks/coupons to buy rewards merchandise is 100% accurate.
re the 3M, yes, you can use the coupon for free tape.
if you use a coupon/rewards to pay on a REWARDS deal (such as this), you will lost PART OR ALL Of the rewards value of the promo depending on the item........which is very poor use of your rewards check.
i thought this was the way to roll rewards forward, at least for office max
re the 3M, yes, you can use the coupon for free tape.
Was not sure if coupon good for that item... Coupon says - "roll of Scotch Magic tape". Ad says - "Magic tape with dispenser"...
I think it will work....
I think it will work....
that depends, try and use it on the item clearly specified. just depends on the coupon wording/what's pictured
can't speak to office max, but DEFINITE NO NO at Staples.
If you take a $25 rewards check and buy a 20pack of batteries with it on this
deal, you'll get zilch back in rewards. thus wasting your $25 on rewards on something you don't need or could have converted in to cash with FAR merchandise (REBATE NOT REWARDS merchandise)
Hope it will work.
Thanks & repped !!
