Topic Wiki

To find items (like this one) that are eligible for Easy Rebates that may end up being worth buying just for the points use this link.

If the status for the Easy Rebate says "Your reward has been sent" but you've never received the card or lost it before ever using it, then call 1-877-266-6483 to have Staples send out a replacement.


There are often coupons that lower the up front cost of paper that's on sale with a rebate. And other coupons, too.
Staples.com > on top menu bar - shop deals > coupons
BUT:

The coupon is now only able to work once per order! The $5 off is now being pro-rated between all the cases in the order, rather than the 4x it's put in!
To use the coupon 4x, you need to have each case checked out separately.  Which means that besides the bother at the register, you submit 4 different rebates - and you get 4 different rebate cards of $41 - instead of 1 rebate card worth $164.

Why use GC?  When I get a rebate, I can select check as the form of rebate.
Most people don't realize that.

I have about 1000$ in gift cards to staples. I want to buy a computer from them but i want to purchase it with an amex CC. What the heck am i supposed to do with all these gift cards.

It can be done. Just find a clueless cashier.

i dont feel like doing 100 rebates- if thats what your referring to.. but i guess if thats the best option ill actually read the thread.
and i tried a few people there- didnt work. they gave me this look and said i know people who got fired from doing such a thing.

FTFY  if you're lucky they will have more FAR software again which sometimes has a limit of 10. Use two or three addresses and you can basically unload all of them on that

and yeah, I just cashed out my last $200 on a visa gc, it was mixed in with a bunch of other FAR stuff and they let it go

part of the issue with selling them is that you can anyway get around 9% off with the IB

Throw them out?
Paypal gives them out for free on their website.
Unless you have a smart phone.
Then keep it for small spends like United AU or US Air A"H

I tried to buy visa gift cards using my staples gift cards at 3 different locations in queens and brooklyn.

I have found you have a better chance of it slipping by when it's mixed in with other stuff

Huge success - tried a fourth time (to use gift cards to buy visa gift card with the $15 rebate deal)at a different store in queens
- "at the wire" - Saturday night at 8:50 PM (10 minutes before store closed and deal expired).
they had the $200 visa gift cards (other 3 stores only had $100 visa cards)
Used Staples gift card to buy $200 visa gift card, getting $15 back in visa rebate! (and did same deal for brother and dad)
Went back on Sunday, bought out visa gift cards and some amex gift cards to reach closer to my spend on INK bold card that i just got on friday.
total purchases at staples between sat night and sunday - $2600 of visa gift cards, $1000 of amex gift cards + fees + 2x duracell battery deal (pay 1399, get 1399 back in staples rewards) + 2x for my bro on my ink card his staples reward card.
$3366.40 charged on my INK card ( toward 5000 spend threshhold , used up $212 in Staples gift cards. will get back $15 from the gift card sat night + 16832 UR points.
Not bad for 2 trips to staples! :)

Don't be shocked if you get AA'd
You are not supposed to spend too much in Staples and definitely not for the first $5k
