Staples reward members (free to join) can get free 1,000 Staples easy rewards points = $5 Staples rewards for recycling any tech, batteries, phone cases and more, in-store or online, but I guess in-store will be credited the month after vs. online which could take up to 60 days. I got it on me and my wife's accounts but possibly YMMV? Expires 3/2/2024.
$5 is probably not worth it for a trip to the store alone but for people who are still doing monthly ink recycles, it's an added bonus I guess.

This new points system basically is a 50% reduction from the old rewards plan with the exception of this battery promotion giving 1000 points instead of 500 points ($2.50).
I usually just recycle like a single AA or AAA battery a month
Unless something has drasticaly changed, I recomend bringing them to the store. At the counter choose both e-mail and printed reciepts so you KNOW they are not going to say they never got it and if they do you have proof.
I stopped shipping the recycling because it is too much a pain in the arse to call chat with them in corecting their error.

"For the new Easy rewards program the promotions are personalize. Right now we do not have an update for the offer for recycling rewards. But you may check your account."
So, some of us might be able to, other may not. Kinda like the old Plus/Premium members, they were grandfathered in and allow to recycle 20/month still
and for ink recycle, it is not available for every month now? I did not get points last month, but get points this month....

Thank you. Just seeing this now in my app as well.
I was lucky, I think the cashier misheard when I said I had 20 ink, and actually entered "28". So the first ink was credited towards tech recycling offer, and the other 27 inks towards ink recycling. Since I'm Plus, I only got credit for 20 inks, but regardless I got my full 9000 points for the month.
