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

On an unrelated note, the 5 off 25 for text signup now looks at the subtotal after other coupons (not before coupons like previously). For example, last week, you could purchase 4x of the .01 reams and use the 5 coupon for exactly $5.00 in fillers. This week, you get the error "minimum purchase requirement not met" when purchasing 4x of the .01 reams and exactly $5.00 in fillers (short by .84 cents for 4.79 paper).
I bought 5 travel size toothpaste for $1.00 each as a filler.
When I bought it with the 4 $.01 paper reams, the 5/25 coupon failed because the subtotal was $24.16.
When I purchased the toothpaste with an original price of $31.99 Phillips light bulb & used a 30% Phillips light bulb coupon code 72607, it worked fine because the subtotal was $27.39 (22.39 + 5 filler).

I actually need to use it today.
please PM.
thanks,
With the email subject title: "Oops! We're a little late. Your welcome offer is here!" Looks like it was an IT glitch. Hopefully they start coming in again.
Edit: make that two. One to my Yahoo email address as well.
Maybe I'll go buy a Hammermill case with it tomorrow, FAR.
