It would be nice if the people that aren't using the coupons would generously give it away, I don't see how this is effects hp though - even if you dont use it you're giving it away to someone else so technically it's still being used!

Not talking about how it affects HP. Moreso saying that you are capitalizing off a free thing you got as result of a bad price mistake

belongs in ethics board,
but buy $200 worth of ink and bring it to staples for store credit.

I did not do that, I just bought a new printer and some paper, and selected next business day morning delivery for free
And then you can buy gift cards? How does that work if you didnt buy it from them?

You are right. Wrong forum.

Which printer did you get? I was hoping to get a laser all in one with wireless capabilities within the 200, but looks like the non-wireless one for 209 is the closest. I use laptops, am i overvaluing the wireless feature?

IME staples has giving me store credit in the past, I am not sure if you can purchase gift cards with a staples gift card

If you felt comfortable capitalizing on t he price mistake and you ordered - why shouldn't you feel comfortable with something they are giving you willingly. You were ready to take a mistake of $3000 but youre not comfortable with $200?

I dont want to be a controversial figure or get into any arguments, so obviously people do whatever they are comfortable with (I've also conceded that this isnt the right forum). The difference IMHO is getting a $3,000 machine (or 15) for $100 and then either using it or looking to capitalize by re-selling it for all close to the $3,000 that HP actually would have sold it for if that mistake never happened. Then they admit fault, give a coupon code for 200 and people are trying to get every cent that they can for it. That was all I was saying- its grey area.

Interesting, I'm not sure I'm comfortable "punishing" Staples for HP's mistake. For those who are interested, anyone notice any HP ink/toner that's seller at Staples for more than HP.com?

Back on topic: I've added a dozen things from HP.com that I'm remotely interested in, none are eligible for this coupon :(

ETA: Not that I'm interested (but maybe someone else is), it seems HP paper (even the fancy glossy ones) are eligible.

I better use my coupon ASAP, as the good items are probably all going OOS.

This is weird. I had only ordered one comp, but now the order status is showing two orders, with different order numbers, both cancelled. Any one else see this?

I doubt they're going to restock much.

Says in the terms and conditions. No TV's. No Xbox's No Beats Headphones etc

It does work on some Beatz HeadPhones/Earbuds, are they any good?

It also works on Triton surround sound gaming headphones, are they any good?

ETA: These coupons are selling for over $100 on eBay, hmmm...

Anyone have a suggestion on what department to call if I never got a code? I did the order, it was cancelled and I had received an original confirmation. 
Customer Service.
thanks, just called and they said they will send my coupon within 24 hours. Some reason I dont have that much faith in HP

IF they declined your order from the start then as far as I know you did not receive a $200 coupon. It was only sent to those whose orders were confirmed at one point and then got cancelled.

this guy is starting at $1  http://www.ebay.com/itm/HP-200-Coupon-INSTANT-DELIVERY-/330776257899?pt=US_Coupons&hash=item4d03cd256b&autorefresh=true

Check completed listings, while some have sold as high as $130, with eBay being flooded with coupons it's going to be a race to the bottom in no time. I think the market could sustain $100+ per, but the greedy sellers are going to keep posting lower prices.
