Nice, I just found the brother toner to be returned and now they would give me $ to do that.

I see $5 for recycling. Where do you see $10? May need a computer chair and have to check for any additional off codes.

I stopped recycling ink a while back when the requirement went to $50/180 days of purchased ink. Still a good deal but I just do not use/purchase that much retail ink any longer.

I was not aware that the tech recycle of the normal $5/month was available without any additional purchase requirements, so great to know for future. As for this three month offer, what a bonus!!!

Thanks to all the posters and OP for giving some new info. Very useful.

$10 offer does not start until 4/16, clearly in title and OP info.

LJDerm,

about 2x a year Staples will offer 50% back in rewards on ink/toner. I did this last in September 2022 on 9/15, bought $51 pre tax with Discover rewards GC's that offer 15% bonus. (ie $21 in rewards for $25 GC).

Paid about $54 w/tax, got back 5% CB on a cb site, 50% back in rewards ($25) so about $28 back on $42 worth of rewards redemption + small OOP..

That allowed me recycle for SEVEN MONTHS (Sep, Oct, Nov, Dec, Jan, Feb, March (prior to 3/15)

Each time I had a $10/30 coupon to use from various sources, so each $20 ink rewards became $30 in value. Therefore I got $210 in spending for the $20 net purchase of ink (after discounts and rewards on the ink) Was worth it. I won't touch it without the 50% back on ink. Hopefully it will roll around in September again (currently don't qualify for ink rewards) The price of ink cartridges (empty/used on Ebay) has gone up quite a bit since 2020. Now about .40 per cart versus .10-15 years back. So each 10 you recycle has a built in cost of $4 also.

Sums it up quite accurately. Of course the rewards check for what you turn in on say 4/16 won't be in your account to redeem until about May 12 and valid until 6/30 to redeem.
I did it last time.,in January I think and I still haven't got my reward yet.

you are given a receipt at the time of turn in, you should have received your reward in February. If you have proof of your recycle transaction, I would contact them. Most have long received January's by now. in fact, Feb issues rewards expired on 3/31.

You can also use a $20 off $100 or $25 off $15 in conjunction with the 50% back in rewards.

So are you telling me I could have been recycling random stuff for $5/month?

Could have likely cleared out all the useless cables I have by now.
If running into a Staples store to recycle something and then running in the to the store the next month to buy an overpriced item is worth $5 to you, then yes. To me personally, it isn't worth it for $5. Now for $10, it might be worth it.
