Not bothering to link to Staples. No biggie, but it is standard procedure to do so. Reps for posting at all.

Their headline is "for each cartridge you recycle in store — that's up to $25 in savings!".

Note the term "up to" which covers their butts.

However, while they reduced the number of bonus cartridges @ 500 points per cartridge from 10 to 6, they increased the amount of points of my regular cartridge recycling from 400 to 500.

Not related to recycling, but related to rewards. There's an offer for 30% back in points on select printers. How do we know if a printer qualifies? And do we earn the 30% if we pay with points?
They had a promo before where you get $10 in points if you spend $50. I got the $10 points even though i used points for the purchase.

Oof, wasn't aware of the change and just recycled my 10 ink cartridges. 6 of them got 500 points each and the other 4 got 100 points each. Ah well.

If you click on the offer (not the activate, but the actual offer) it gives more details:

Valid on purchases of select printers made online at Staples.com. Valid on all HP Tank printers, all HP inkjet printers, all HP LaserJet printers, select Epson® EcoTank™ printers, all Canon® printers, all Xerox printers, select Brother inkjet printers and select Brother laser printers."

Generally, the printers that the 30% applies to will say that on the printer page on the Staples website.

And no, you generally will not earn rewards on the part paid for with rewards. You probably weren't supposed to earn the other promo either, but Staples is notriously bad for programming things correctly.

It says "all Canon Printers", but I don't see it on the specific Canon printer I want (don't see it on any Canon printer at all).

Not sure when I received an email for:

Recycling is now extra rewarding.
As one of our Most Valuable Customers, you now earn 500 points per ink or toner cartridge you recycle — up to 50 per month.
That's up to $125 in savings!
