Has anyone dealt with Staples rewards Theft??

205 28 July 17, 2010 at 12:02 PM in Question
Ok, so I have been turning in ink cartridges to staples for a while now, and have received rewards since February I believe, and I have never been able to use them except one. I usually waited til the last day before they expired and then they wouldnt work when using them online or in store they wouldnt work, so i just figured i missed my chance, and would try again next month (i know, not the smartest approach, but thats a different issue).

Anyway, since I kept having non-stop problems with my rewards, I just logged onto my account to check my status on rewards.. Well apparently, EVERY single one of my rewards was redeemed in New York by somebody buying external hard drives both times. One was in Staten Island and the other in Selden... The problem here is that I am from Indiana, and have never been to New York in my life.. Now I dont know if 'New York' shows up if you buy online, or if someone guessed my rewards account number, because I keep my computer clean and scan it constantly for everything, and have never posted any information anywhere.. I cant call the rewards people til Monday to figure this out.. Do you think they will credit me with any of these rewards, or am I screwed?

So has anyone else had this happen, or did i win the unlucky lottery again? lol

Until we hear that the "updated" checks are not being stolen, I'm going to use them quickly.

We should be able to tell by looking at eBay auction or coupon sites that sell these. "Recycle checks" with certain expiration dates should be limited in quantity. We'll see...

It looks like it has already had an effect in the number of listings in ebay.

NJ Staples Rewards victim here as well. Never even been close to that damn state (no offense meant). How quickly will Staples Rewards restore your stolen rewards check and issue you a new account number? I may have missed this as well, but if you use a rewards check, wouldn't that purchase automatically be in your account with what was purchased and all pertinent details?

with 7-10 days to get a new check via usps

new account is immediate. just ask them to make it premier (for next year as well) if your old account was premier.

Odd that all you get when you go to their site now is a login box and nothing else. As to the disclaimer you have to wonder why they feel the need to even make that statement. Guilty conscience?

And the way this scam artist has operated in the past, those existing members better not complain about a used coupon or they will be bounced and redirected to the Staples home page. Goodbye any balance.

I am thinking that existing members probably already have a balance of 0.

Wow! I thought you were kidding but it is true. Cannot post the URL as SD removes it but just Google SDer Club. Serves them right. Wonder if any others are in the same boat? Need to go check.

Lol maybe they will seize Ebay next!!
