Duracell AAA and AA batteries here are mainly attractive as a free after rewards stock up, especially for buyers who can also use the purchase toward ink recycling or other Office Depot rewards redemptions. The deal can effectively turn a small out of pocket spend into store credit, and the rewards behave more like a gift card than a coupon. The big caution is leakage, with repeated reports of batteries leaking in unopened packs, in storage, and inside devices well before expiration. That makes them a better fit for low risk use or quick turnover than for anything valuable or long term.
people planning to stack Office Depot rewards with ink-recycling qualifying spend because commenters say the 100% rewards can be used for ink recycling/qualifying spend and they've earned back more rewards on a battery purchase.
office and home battery users who go through lots of AAA/AA and are willing to accept the risk because commenters say they still buy these on 100% rewards since they use lots of batteries anyway.
shoppers who want a "free after rewards" battery run and don't want to pay for a Costco membership because commenters argue this deal is free after rewards and better than paying membership for a comparable pack price.
anyone storing AAA/AA batteries for long periods in devices or leaving them in electronics, because multiple commenters report Duracell AAA/AA batteries leak badly if left in devices for a long time and can cause a mess in the battery compartment.
people who can't risk electrolyte damage to valuable electronics (like remotes, flashlights, calculators, toys, or camera equipment), because commenters warn these batteries can leak even when stored unopened and can ruin devices.
buyers who want to avoid the hassle of warranty/service steps, because commenters report Duracell may require sending in unopened battery packs (with a shipping label) or dealing with a service center process.
people who want to keep batteries in long-term storage without surprises, because commenters say leaks can happen years before the labeled expiration date (including from unopened packs).
They can leak in unopened packs and in devices, sometimes years before the expiration date. The reported failures are often at the bottom of the cell and have damaged electronics, toys, and remote controls.
The purchase earns 100% back in Office Depot rewards, which post as store credit-like rewards that can be used later. One pack can also qualify for ink recycling rewards if you meet the $10 minimum spend, making the effective return higher.
Duracell can replace leaking batteries, but the process may require photos, a service-center claim, or mailing the batteries in. Some replacements are handled with a coupon for any Duracell product, while others result in a check for the purchase price.
Costco's 40-pack for $19.99 is cheaper per battery, but this Office Depot offer is free after rewards and can be more useful if you want store credit back. Costco also requires a membership, while the Office Depot deal can be stacked with rewards and ink recycling.
Interesting. After missing most of last year until Thanksgiving, is it back to regular this year? I hope so. It is also interesting that the deal last until 24th instead of one week.
This is a great deal for the rare person who still has any device left that hasn't been destroyed by a Duracell leaking battery.
Amazing how it's still prevalent. It's been years, and they still don't care enough to fix the issue? Or maybe not enough people complaining, or maybe it drains fast enough so people tend to not keep it in long. I still have an unopened pack with leak (way before expiration date) all over.
What is a good deal item to buy at OD with the reward points earned?
At least when staples does a similar offer, it seems they carry more worthwhile items to burn the reward points on
OD rewards have an expiration whereas Staples don't.
All ODs closed near me. The last time I purchased OD batteries (the last promotion) they already leaked. Glad they closed all the stores near by and curbed my urge to PM and buy batteries from them.

To be more precise: objectively, these batteries have a high probability to leak and potentially ruin your electronics. Notably, the leaks occur far before the "expiration" date if the batteries

Costco offers a 40-pack of either AAA or AA batteries from the same brand for $19.99.
This particular offer provides a 100% reward, and many individuals choose it because this purchase qualifies for ink recycling, which necessitates a minimum expenditure of $10. Otherwise, Costco's pricing is considerably more favorable.
