The MaxPerks Rewards site generally uses the date the item ships as the date of record (the "Transaction Date") for an online order. If this date falls outside the offer period it is possible that the system will not automatically credit the reward. If the reward is not automatically credited, contact MaxPerks Rewards customer service to have the reward credited.Newbie mistake..

Any chance of getting them to credit based on order date, not ship date? (Lets say I purchased paper last week, and then again this week, but the "delivery" of both happened this week....)
Second question, if rewards were used to make the purchase, are they reissued when you make a return??
If the rewards are not awarded according to date purchased, contact MaxPerks customer service. The system is getting better at automatically awarding rewards in such situations but it had a long way to go.

As for refunds of purchases paid for with rewards:

12. If an item paid for with rewards is returned, how will the refund be paid out?

Refunds for items paid for with rewards should be refunded via a merchandise cards. Merchandise cards do not have an expiration date.

Merchandise cards are valid for online purchases. Entered like a gift card or rewards certificate during checkout. Limited to one gift/merchandise/reward card per order though.

Nobody is talking excessive.. Plus it's no harm, just an extension of a gift card's time limit.
