Now, to see some Staples FAR's on this item...

Why can't I find that thread? Tried search and looking at dazviking for recent posts.

Ah, I had inadvertently hidden it with Not Interested. Thanks.

HP Everyday 8.5"x 11" photo paper Limit 4
$9.99- 50¢ instant savings - $8.99 easy rebate = 50¢

So $8.49 x 4 = $37.96, meaning you would still need a $12.04 HP spend to qualify for the $15 gas card

$12.04 plus the $2.00 (for the 50 cents after rebate photo packs of paper) plus the tax and stamp doesn't make this a MM at all but just gets you an additional free pack of photo paper (which I don't use anyway).

So this really isn't much of a deal unless you actually use this photo paper. Am I reading this right? But I am sure this post will help someone out who actually used the photo paper and could use an extra pack.

you're right Mr. V, didn't realize there was an instant savings involved. Your remainder # of $12.04 is correct.

But I am sure this post will help someone out who actually uses the photo paper and could use an extra pack.I use it for Christmas calendars and this is a great stock up deal for me. Thank you for the math and Mr C for the post! I've been on no dates with Staples the last few weeks because of her recent not-so-fat weekly ads. Looks like date night is back on w/her next week LOL.

To sweeten this deal slightly... http://reg.e.staples.com/c/s/tagfrm/hBP9uFTB7SHGCB8kLDQDNO6XwOA/...

I did a quick lookup of the qualifying items from the rebate form, and they're in the $14+ range... buy one of the $17 items, use the coupon linked above, to get down to $12, which should put you right above $50 wyb 4 x 9.49 that are on Staples rebate next week.

just a heads up the opportunity to do this again presents itself next week (7/22-28) at Staples. Limit 4 rebates on the photo paper.

Also, rebate limit is 10 on this offer, so even if you did it already, you can likely do it again!

MISTERCHEAP said:   the SKU list should be the "qualifier", not the type of paper. Sounds like a bogus way to deny a rebate. Of course your advice to include one pack of present. paper with the 4 photo papers is a good suggestion to avoid hassle, but their denying a rebate when you bought $50+ of any qualifying SKU's (shouldn't matter which ones) is pretty bogus in my book

Sent mine in last week. Included 4 packs of Q8723A (the FAR stuff) and 1 pack of Q2509A-- both on the SKU list. It cost me a stamp, and may cost me a phone call and/or nastygram to get it paid. We'll see.

I sent in a submission with 6 Q8723A's. I just got email saying that the rebate was valid.

The paper is FAR again at Staples starting tomorrow.

Submitted one on 7/12 and another on 7/24. Not a peep out of them yet for me on either submission.

I didn't see a URL for submission status, only a phone number... and I hate calling

labboypro said:   From that site, I see _1_ of my offers in stage 3. The other one doesn't appear. May have to call them *sigh*

Called them... talked to a lady who apparently didn't do so well in grade school math class. For one submission, she kept INSISTING (more loudly each time) that my submission, which totaled $52.95 was MORE THAN the $50 requirement, wasn't enough to qualify. At one point, she actually said (and I use quotes here purposely), "You didn't meet the minimum $50 purchase requirement because you only spent $52.95." (Yes, she actually said that... which prompted me to write in my notes and circle it with a Sharpie.). For the second submission, she said she didn't know why it wasn't approved because it was "for $162.83" (which, oddly, she did NOT dispute was above the $50 purchase minimum requirement)... however, I attempted to correct her math here as well-- I bought 4x at $9.99, which extended to $39.96, and 1x at $14.99. She again insisted that the EXTENDED price needed to be 4x'd, thus jacking up the number way beyond what it actually was. On that one, it wasn't worth explaining her insane math problems more than once, so I let it go. Finally... today, I received _3_ GCs in the mail... I only submitted _2_ offers. I hate HP, and believe they should shut their doors... but it appears they're working hard on their end to do just that.
