Staples AD SCAN 6/3-6/9 $50 in HP Ink = $4 ink recyl/20% rewards, $5 GC on 2 Kcup Boxes, $5/25 Breakroom coupon

mail2genious said:   what HP ink would FWers be buying for $50? I hope to see quantity just for recycling for rewards.

I have the all in one printer from a while back that was a MM after various .edu rebates and whatnot, and it uses the 564 carts. I plan on getting 2 of the black XL carts and a single of my lowest color for a total of (22.99*2 + 9.99) = 55.97, less the 10% HP generics discount leaves me at 50.38. About as close to 50 as I can get.

just posted this thread about the 20% OM savings bag coming out on Sunday. If your Staples price matches this, you can ramp up your HP ink purchases by about $15 for free! http://www.fatwallet.com/forums/hot-deals/1196337/

No exclusion on HP ink that I can see (unlike the $25/75 Staples coupon which DOES exclude it)

Math (assuming you get 10% HP discount as well)

Buy $70+ of HP ink PRE TAX

less 20% OM Price Match = $56.80+

less 10% HP discount from generics deal $51.12 + tax

thank you

Viv,

go to Staples.com, click on the ad...then next to the current weeks ad you'll see a button that says "see more" or something. Click that and a drop down will show the new weeks ad, the $5/25 coupon is buried in there on one of the pages.

yes, mistercheap, i know how to get to the upcoming ad...please see the screenshot that i have when i do that. (I honestly wouldn't ask it if I wasn't encountering difficulties)

oh ok viv, I know since they changed the format, some people were unsure how to navigate to the "upcoming ad". Thought that's what you meant, sorry for the misunderstanding.

It must be a website problem. Even the link from a Staples email for the upcoming ad shows nothing but blank pages.

Can we use rewards to purchase the $50 in HP ink?

I just dumped the last HP printer here (did I mention that HP can go die in a fire?), and am now using several Brother units. But, I'm still going to buy $50 in HP ink on this deal. Here's why--

20 recycles x $2 = $40

but...

20 recycles x $4 = $80 - $50 ink = $30, and I can peddle the ink for $25-30, so figure net $55-60

Just got back. Bought 7 boxes in one transaction got 3 rebates(wish I had bought 8 boxes now). Slip says limit 10 $5 gift cards per address!

Did it give you 3 gift cards when you filled it out online?

sandyv said:   Please let us know how the rebates are working online once you fill them out. Is it allowing you to fill out the form for 3 of them and showing a 3 X $5 gift card?

all Staples easy rebates work the same. one rebate offer will capture all the eligible rebates on one receipt.

if you bought 6 boxes of KCUPS at one time, you enter the rebate info ONE TIME for 3 x $5 gc's back.

why didn't you buy 8 boxes? would've gotten another rebate.

Didn't realize I was going to get more than 1 so I was just trying to optimize my 25 off 75 coupon.

Not on all of them, but I did notice one increasing from $25.99 to $27.99. However, $27.99 is the same price as OfficeMax and Office Depot.

Just a heads up. If your reward account gives you 10% off HP ink automatically, you may want to make sure the total is above $50 after the discount. I made that mistake today and wonder if I just lost $40 in reward .

Also, is the $25 off $75 ad banner coupon still valid? I tried using it today and the cashier said they don't accept coupons that were not printed from Staples.com (she didn't even try scanning it).

I guess you should have checked that on the receipt and made an additional purchase if you ended up under $50. It did not have to be on the same receipt, just the same day. You might want to go back to Staples if they are still open in your area. Also, you only lost $20 since you'll get the normal $20 anyway.
Good point. Too bad all stores are closed in my area. I have premier status so instead of getting $80 in reward, I will get $40.

It looks like a Staples coupon, to me. What didn't she like about it?

She saw the URL at the bottom and said the coupon is not from Staples. I am going to cut the bottom out and try again tomorrow.

I guess wait until it posts and then contact CS and see if they will do something for you since you forgot about the 10%.

Moral: turn off headers and footers in browsers. Saves ink, too.

I just ordered more ink online. Hopefully this will work.

If you spend $50+ pre tax and AFTER any coupon/discount use (don't forget the 10% HP discount many of us get now for doing the $10 generic recycle deal)...



How do I verify that I am eligible for additional 10% HP discount ( Total 20%)? My rewards account still shows 10%. I am premier & completed the generic recycle deal.

think you're confusing some terms here:

1) the 20% REWARDS on HP ink is for all rewards members next week.

2) the 10% PURCHASE discount on HP ink from the generic deal is linked to your rewards number. When you purchase HP ink and use your rewards number the 10% will come off automatically at checkout (at least that's how it works for in store purch., I've never done it online, so can't comment).

so plan accordingly, if you buy $52 worth of ink pre tax and get the 10% discount, you'll fall below $50 required to get the $4 per cart ink rewards. You need at least $55.60 in pre tax ink NOT to fall below $50 if you get the 10% discount, you'll then earn 20% rewards on that discounted price.

Yep, we were warned about this earlier in this thread by Mister C

Don't see it mentioned yet, but as in previous versions of this deal if you order online you have 7 days to complete the recycling portion (rather than having to do both on the same day).

Will the banner ad 25 off 75 work on HP Ink? Mine says HP ink is excluded (I think it was mentioned earlier as not viable possibly).

I was going to buy the free McAfee with the coupon. I remember reading somewhere that having a filler item with the ink will trick the system to think the coupon is applied to the filler item but not the ink. I have never tried that of course.
