How to generate your own $10 off $50 coupon
With Staples blocking sign-ups from common free email services, it is now more challenging to generate coupons. But have no fear, there are still many ways to go about it. Here is an overview of the easiest way.
You'll first need to buy a domain name. Check out registrars like namecheap.com and name.com, and shop around for deals.
Then, sign up with an email service provider that offers a "catch-all" mailbox feature. This means that emails sent to any address at your new domain will automatically be collected into that catch-all mailbox, essentially giving you unlimited email addresses. For example, if your domain is example.com, emails sent to [email protected] (fill in the blank with whatever you want) can be automatically sent to [email protected]. No need to create new email accounts.
Gmail via Google Apps for Business [google.com] offers the catch-all mailbox feature, as does many other email service providers. It's also possible that your domain registrar included email services when you bought your domain from them (though they may not necessarily offer a catch-all mailbox). Search around for a service that you like.
This sounds complicated and time consuming, but it's really not. Feel free to PM me if you need some general advice about the process. -Olafur

Are they 7151?
I tried it on a bunch of different items (over $50) and the coupon is not working.
Try: http://www.staples.com/Glad-Tall-...uct_482898
EDIT: An hour later and I'm at 515 coupons at last check..... I think I'm going to start a thread to give these away.
Good choice. its still easy enough to get them, but giving them out in a thread kills them.
It killed a 20/100 last year, and has killed the 30/60 twice.

Taking it one step further, I threw together a Chrome extension that will generate a random email prefix, attach it to my catchall domain, and submit it to Staples. A couple of minutes later I get the coupon. And the extension submits a new email every 5 seconds or so without any intervention from me at all.
Before anyone asks, I'm not sharing the extension at this time. Multiple people generating hundreds of coupons per hour will get these killed faster than mass sharing them.

I've set up a catch-all email and submitted about 20 email requests to Staples but didn't get anything in several hours period. I wonder if the type of domain matters to Staples in order to get coupons in a couple of minutes, as you say. When the gmail trick worked, it took 2 days to get the coupons.

Can one staples account redeem multiple 71512 coupons if used on separate trips IN-STORE?
Thanks.

Thanks so much for the info and help! Unfortunately I don't have any domains i'm controlling at that moment. Luckily my staples still accepts office depot 10 off 50 coupons... I'll have to look into getting a catchall setup in the furture!
