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

VivYip said:   does anyone know if there were any exceptions to the k-cups GC rebate?

(I purchased 1 starbucks pike 1 starbucks normal, 1 revv(?), 2 hazelnut, 1 green tea)

3 rebate receipts came out ( hazelnut, starbuck pike, and green tea)

on the other hand, if a person is in search for a the 20/75 r 25/75 coupon, the new breakroom catalogs are out with 20/75 coupons that expires 9/3/12 (This makes me wonder if the rebate is also good for online orders...if so, it'd be better)

only rule I saw was it must be 16-18 count boxes, ANY BRAND. (think those were the sizes which qualified)

halfway up the thread, another user posted it, 20 dollar subway for 100 in purchase on the same receipt. A bit too much for me, considering HP generally tries to smash people using pre-coupon prices.

The online terms of the bags exclude HP products, so if is working online at OM.com, I imagine it is a bug.

I noticed last night that Staples is now carrying 24 packs of K-Cups for $12.99,which is the same price as they're selling most of the 16-18 packs for online (some are $11.99). Unless you have a coupon to use, this $5 gift card deal isn't really much of a deal at all.

Yes, that is SOP for easy rebates where the limit is greater than one.

$80 and 20% have been posted to my Rewards account.

I finally got to Staples today. Picked up the 940 combo pack, which was $96.99, less my 10% less $25/75 coupon (scanned fine). So I paid $66 and get back $53 extra in Rewards. Plus I used gift cards I had gotten from Discover so those cost me 20% less than face value. I could have bought less expensive cartridges but I needed to spend $84 minimum (for the 10% off and $25), and I can actually use these, and buying individual cartridges while still spending $84 would have put me pretty close to $96 anyway.

Then I gave another $25 coupon to a woman in front of me who had spent over $200. Too bad I didn't see her beforehand because I could have given her two. And she was buying HP ink but was not trading in any cartridges! She was also buying HP photo paper (4x6") which she seemed to have coupon for $9.99. Good to know that someone actually pays for that stuff. I could have sold her some!

BTW I just noticed that the 10% discount shows up online if you are eligible for it. So you can easily tell if it's on your card.

Be careful with coupon usage.

I bought $60 ink and the Panasonic phone in the other thread, and used a $25 off coupon. But the coupon pushed the ink price to below $50.

The terms of this sale says" Spend $50 on HP ink in ONE TRANSACTION and earn ...", so the only solution was to void the previous sale and buy more HP ink in ONE TRANSACTION.

Hi, can you explain what the 10% discount is for, and who is elegible for it?
Thanx

Hi, can you explain what the 10% discount is for, and who is elegible for it?It's discussed earlier in the thread. Some of us (maybe Premier Rewards members?) got notified that we get 10% off on HP ink purchases. It comes off automatically when your Rewards card is scanned.

I read the whole thread but couldn't find the elegibilty requirement ( - premier). Thanx

I did homework before going to the local store, but forgot that coupons prorate among items part now at Staples.

after I hauled everything into my car and found the ink purchase was a couple dollars short of $50 because of that. So I thought of just buying one more ink tank to go above $50. However, I realized that >$50 ink purchase has to be in one transaction. That leaves me the only option: return and rebuy.

I had several coupons, but it was just easy to do return and rebuy since I also recycled a landline phone for $20 off.

Lesson learned, but no damage done this time.

But the coupon pushed the ink price to below $50.What did you expect it to do, given that coupons are pro-rated across the entire order? My opinion, if you only had the one coupon, you should have tried using it only on the phone and bought the ink separately, since any coupon deduction took away from your 20% Rewards on the ink. And if you had a second coupon, you should have just bought extra ink and also bought it alone.

I didn't think the $50 had to all be in one transaction, just purchased the same day as you recycled the ink cartridges.

I bought about $48 of HP ink (I also didn't realize until I got back to the car that I had the 10% off thing) at the time I recycled. So I went back and bought $20 more a few minutes later. I got the full $80 recycling credit. FYI

Is this true that you would have gotten the $80 reward and 20% reward if you had paid in cash for the >$50 HP ink in that period?
So if you have paid with your previous rewards, you wouldn't get the promotion, is that right?

Edit: that is the case, didn't read the details of promotion correctly

Thanks for your reply billrubin, Yes I paid the whole transaction by rewards, and didn't know that it is deducted in achieving the $50 mark. My bad, didn't read the fine prints in details enough I was thinking with myself, sweet!, I didn't pay tax too! but I was all wrong, my transaction is worth only few cents
