Staples ad 1/13/13-1/19/13 FARewards binders, totes, $1 AR photo paper, 15% off cleaning and breakroom

My store had the ad for 1/13 out by mistake this week.

Free after rewards: Binders (limit 4), cardboard storage boxes (limit 2), plastic totes (limit 2)
$1 after easyrebate: Staples 4x6 glossy 60pk $9.99 - $8.99 rebate, limit 4
$3 after easyrebate: Hammermill ream, $6.99 - $3.99 rebate, limit 4
Triple recycling (up to 5 cartridges) with $50 HP ink purchase
15% off entire cleaning and breakroom purchase, probably can combine with $20 off $75 cleaning and breakroom coupons if there are any out there.

Thank you OP...

(evil question: could you scan the ad? if it's not possible, it's okay...thank you for the heads up!!!)

i know what you mean...i've had that happen to me several times... (I try to edit, and then it's as if my post has disappeared...)

there could also be a coupon on the front page of the online/home delivery ad and not on the in-store ad.

what the heck is the picture in the QS?

Thanks OP - now let's hope for some FAESR S/W!

I can get Premier just by buying stamps from them each year. Not to mention the rewards on CC. I feel like a dope! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

FYI, stamp prices going up on 1/27/2013 by $0.01. But it adds up...

Stamps don't count towards Premier (at least according to the terms; I've never bought stamps there to try). Still, if you use a lot of them and get a Chase Ink business credit card you can get 5% back/earn 5 chase ultimate rewards points per $ for buying them at Staples. In fact, now that I realize that, that's where I'll buy them instead of Costco (Costco lets you save a whopping $0.25 per 100 stamps.)

FYI, stamp prices going up on 1/27/2013 by $0.01. But it adds up...Are you certain of that? I am looking at T&Cs and it says:

"The following Qualifying Purchases are eligible toward earning Rewards:

Copy & Print services excluding postage stamps, shipping and shipping supplies, merchandise used in assembling Copy & Print jobs, custom printing orders placed online, and third party services"

jqsmooth, you may want to buy free-after-rewards items at Office Depot (like this week) and then use the rewards for stamps.

if last year is anything to go by (and man, I really hope it's the same this year) the week of 1/13 is the week that the online download software (like trend mirco and kasperky) has the limit 10 and it's great for converting rewards...here's to hoping for the best! (I was checking my rebate history)

Okay...who wants to try to figure this out.

1. Already did the binder purchase last week. I believe that you can only buy 4 over the promotion period, I can't do it again.
2. The totes were 100% back in rewards last week, but not this week. Can you do this again next week?
3. The storage boxes were 100% back in rewards last week, but not this week...it's a different brand this week. Can you do this again next week?

Anyone see any fine print anywhere. The binders is mentioned on the web site that the end date is 1/19/2013 so my conclusion is it's a one time thing.

2. Yes.
3. Yes.

Are the triple reward cartridges advertised this week in addition to the cartridges submitted for triple rewards from 1/6/13 - 1/12/13? Or can you only submit the 5 cartridges for triple rewards once? IOW, is this considered a separate promo from last week's triple rewards promo or an extension of the same promo?

IF the promo crosses months then it can be done for both months as recycling is a per month calculation. This page indicates this is a single promo as it runs from 1/6-1/19: http://www.staples.com/sbd/cre/products/130106/23967/index_23967...

Ah ok - thanks. I hadn't seen that page, just pages in each flyer that appeared to have separate date ranges. But the page you linked definitely shows it to be a single promo.
I'm trying to figure out whether I should just recycle 5 ink cartridges now and keep the rest till closer to the last week of the month, just in case another promo comes along

My rewards is showing up and it came through as 2 coupons (about $75 split in 2). Don't know why mine is different than what everyone else is reporting, I was nervous that it would be one big check but this makes it easier to cash out Hopefully next months will be like this also since it will be a bigger balance than this one.

mathfaster said:   Just a reminder that the printed ad usually has less pages than the one posted online. Thus, there could be FAR software posted in the online weekly ad.

Online ad for next week should be available for viewing sometime this morning

the ad is up with additional software info! ^_^ (no extra coupons though...maybe in the middle of next week ^_^)

Trend Micro has a $25 shell GC associated with purchase of the software!

sku 957330 is $40 before $25 GC, so it's sorta $15AR if there's a shell station near you

Looks like it's not a rebate, though, it's instant. Buy the software, get $25 Shell card. Now to figure out how to get that $40 down to $25... I really hope this isn't a replacement for free after rebate software in the future.

not very promising you'll get this down to $25 to be honest. even with a $10 off $50 coupon, you'd have to buy $10 more stuff, so in essence, it's still costing you $15.

Don't think I've ever seen a Shell Gift Card offered as a rebate incentive on a Trend Micro title. Pretty strange, and you're right, hope it's not an ongoing thing. Would much rather get the check.

Oh well...the wait continues.

Yeah. If there's a $5 off $25 or some other coupon out, you can cash out some with the photo paper. I need to keep reminding myself that there's no rush, and not to worry. As a Premier member, the rewards that posted in January (for December purchases) don't expire until 6/30. I have *half the year* to find something to cash them out on, though of course I'll be getting more rewards in the meantime. It seems almost impossible that there won't be a cash out option by then.

If somehow Staples decides to carry the Samsung Series 7 Ultra (seems unlikely), then I'll be all set, no need to cash out.

exactly why I didn't mess with the free after rewards stuff going on now. Nothing I really need, and the last thing I need is MORE rewards checks to figure out how to cash out/keep track of.

yes, we do get six months which is plenty of time, but so far, the free after EZ rebate (high value- $40 and up) softwares seem to have dried up. I remember getting $500 rebate checks last year for the 10 x Trend Micros that were FAER. one of the best deals of 2012, to make premier for the year and next year in JANUARY!!

Ugh, my son bought 2 binders on Saturday. One rang up at $1 and I figured it was the wrong one. Wrong. It was correct, not sure why it was $1. But he also bought a $7.99 binder and that was the wrong one, not a view binder, so it will have to go back. He said he got them both from a table where they had the free binders, but obviously one was not the correct one, maybe someone put it there by mistake.
