It means you pay full price and then get 100% of that back in the form of a coupon you can use to buy just about anything in the store.


There are many schools of thought about whether or not you can call them free. This is how I think of it:
1. If you shop enough at Office Depot that you will be spending the rewards in place of real money that you would spend anyway, you can consider these batteries free. For example, I used my last rewards to buy postage stamps. They are the same price everywhere, and I needed to buy them anyway, so the batteries I bought to get those rewards were free.
2. If you spend the rewards on things you otherwise wouldn't have bought, or things you would have bought for less elsewhere, the net cost of the batteries range from "really good deal" to "you should have just shopped at amazon", depending on the specifics.
3. If you aren't careful to track things and let the rewards expire without using them, you just paid way too much for batteries.
If you are a member of Costco, they sell a set of 40 AA batteries for $13.99 which is cheaper than this.

You pay $16 and get 16 batteries.
Use a reward to buy another set of battery for free.

So you get 32 batteries with $16 while you get 40 batteries with $13.99 from Costco.
Cool story bro

So I rarely ever shop at Office Depot but I need some batteries. Does 100% back in Rewards mean it's free?

Means it's 50% off if you use your rewards to buy more batteries.

last time, I wanted to print 2 pages in office depot. I ordered it online and the print service people looked like very busy on others jobs. He just left the other customer and me on the line. Luckily, they got self-printer. I got my pages and cancelled the online order. It did save me lots of time.

Reminds me of Staples years ago. They all leaked and ruined a bunch of electronics. I guess they were fake.

Lol $1 per battery with the incentive being spending that money on Black Friday, on the off chance they have a good deal.

I don't understand how $0.50 each battery is a frontpage deal? Maybe for rechargeable but not these.

Duracell -- the only battery I won't use even if free.

Every single one of those left in the device for long enough leaked. None of the cheaper Insignia, Kirkland, Energizer, Amazon or other store-branded batteries did. Yet Duracells reliably leak, sometime ruining the device they're in.
