Is there anything I need to 'activate' so this will work for me? I have a 15 cart limit each month and already turned 15 in last weekend.
NM - I checked the rewards page where you can activate offers, the 500 points per cart up to 10 carts offer shows up as activated on my account, so should be good to go. Thanks and rep'd OP!

I brought in 20 carts yesterday and was surprised to see 10x500 and 10x400, but I don't see where I can check how many carts I have left to recycle this month anymore.

I see I can mail in carts (which I have never done) and it says: Recycle up to 20 per month.* You have recycled 0 cartridges this month.** but not sure if that's accurate
You should have 10 left since you brought in 20.
This month staple allows to recycle extra 10 inks for 500points/each

no need to activate anything, it's automatic activate just like the technology/writing recycle

Nice - thanks! I just wanted to make sure it showed up in my account, since this is 'ymmv'. Now I have another question - I have an offer 'spend $75 in store get $25 in rewards back', and also got an email for $7 off each case of hammermill copy paper making those $38.99 each, code is a 5 digit 30572 - is there any option to use that 5 digit code in store so I can double dip this? I feel like the answer is 'no', but maybe?

Haven't bothered going to Staples since they dropped the ink recycling to $0.50 per cartridge. Quintuple that with this offer, and they'll definitely get me in the store this month. Thanks!

I've been seeing these cartridge recycling deals for 10 years, and I know it's a great deal, but I have no idea how you guys get cartridges. Now I'm more frequent in staples, do you mind sharing the trick?
Buy in bulk empty catridges in Ebay. Used to be 10 cents per empty cartridge was a good deal but now is more like 20 cents per cartridge. I haven't bought bulk cartridges in like 2 years so now prices might have gone up even more. Staples used to give out $2 in rewards per cartridge but now it is only 50 cents so not enough in rewards for me to keep recycling. This special offer is only good once a year maybe twice.

Yes any Cartridge. They only count how many and don't check for manufacturer of cartridge but only recycle 10 every month. Staples will not give out more rewards past the 10 cartridges.

So for standard members, we can do 10 carts at 50 cents each and only after that we get $2 for each extra up to 10?

So your account doesn't need any status or any minimum spend ? I didn't recycle for past 8 months.
