It doesn't appear to be 10% extra of your 2% or 5% rewards. It seems to be 10% of your purchases.

The "up to $100" part also seems to imply that you can earn an extra $100 in rewards. Anyone able to verify?

Thanks OP

Thanks! Good thing I caught this, was about to make a purchase online.

Very nice! Thanks!

oh really??? then it is pretty cool!
thanks OP

Thanks OP, green for you. I placed an order yesterday but I just signed up for the offer. I am wondering that I'd qualify for this reward or not?

I got sail mail about 2 days ago and it said earn an extra 10% back 1/8 - 1/14 in-store only, but this may be just for Chicago area only. Local store has big display at the door on this. The mail comes with 3 one-time use in-store only coupons, a free $taple multiuse paper, a $10 off $10 print center and a $5 off your next ink purhcase. Already used the free paper with the PNY ram deal.

tomprc said: i think the quarterly limit is $30 for gold. so it's probably meant to be up to $100 in purchase.

No, No. It's separate. No relation with quarterly purchase. It's in addition to the quarterly purchase. You will get additional reward check by mail up to $100 as 10% purchase for this period.

example, if you made $600 purchase during this week, you will get $60 reward check by email (after 3/4 weeks). This $600 will also be considered as part of your quarterly purchase. So if you are a gold member, you will get additional $30 rewards for quarterly purchase, a total of $90.

It said except computers. What happen if I buy a hard drive? Will I get the 10% reward bonus??

How are you so sure? Last time they offer me 10% bonus for ink purchase. But I later found out that was within the quarterly limit.

From what I can make out, you get credit for everything you purchased during the week, even if you sign up AFTER the fact.

Signed up successfully.


Now you will get an extra reward on purchases. That's on top of the rewards you already earn!

Use your customer number, every time you make a purchase in-store, by phone and enter it in your online Account at Staples.com® to get credit for your purchases. And don't forget, you get all your phone and online orders delivered FREE, no matter how much you spend.

So get started - shop online now or find your local Staples store.

Edit: I didnt receive any invitation (yet).

Thanks OP!!!

People who are able to sign up, are they from Chicagoland (Chicago, 'burbs of Chicago and NW Indiana) only....?

Or are there folks from other areas who have been able to sign up?

Nice Thanks OP

Sort of OT, but along the same lines, does anyone know if this is possible for the regular Staples Rewards Program?

Example, let's say I join the Rewards Program in October 2005. I make over $2000 worth of purchases online/instore WITHOUT using my Rewards #. So I can add all those receipts manually at staplesrewards.com. Except, 1) you only get up to $15/quarter for the basic account. 2) If you spend over $1000 in a (calendar?) year, you get bumped up to the Rewards Gold program, which gives you $30/quarter and 5% back instead of 2%. I should've opened two separate accounts back then, but didn't think I'd be spending $2000 at Staples (of which the Infocus was $600).

So, is there anyway of retroactively opening an account under a separate name so that $1000 of those purchases can be manually credited for Q4 2005?

I would call Staples Rewards 1800 number, but I'm not sure that's a good idea.

Thanks.

If you said so, I believe it. One of a few people here really knows Staples
Just sent myself a note to follow up in 6 wks. Bought a printer yesterday and signed up today. No matter what they say, will call them up tonight to make sure it's good. Otherwise, return and rebuy. 10% of purchasing price is huge. Also see this one: "You will receive your Bonus Reward Check in February."
