hot2004 said: 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.

From the experience. If you still have the email of bonus ink read that carefully and read this offer carefully, you will find the difference.

Actually, I received a snail mail from Staples which offered me an extra 20% back in rewards January 7-13, 2006.

**************************************************************************************
Just visit StaplesRewards.com/bonusweek to RSVP by January 13, 2006.

You'll earn an extra 20% back in rewards January 7 - 13, 2006 - up to $100 on everything except computers, gift cards, postage stamps, sales tax, state fees, Awards.com™ purchases and purchases made from outside companies through Staples.

You must show your card or keytag to the cashier in store, or use your customer number by phone or online to earn rewards.

You will receive your Bonus Reward Check in February.

I am not sure whether all Staples Rewards members would be qualified for this offer. BTW, I live in Chicago.

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.

They usually don't credit you retroactively, but it might be worth a phone call; they probably won't be able to credit you, but they might send you a courtesy check. If a lot of your purchases have PMs, lots of coupons, and other "unusual" activity, then don't draw attention to yourself by calling

Now is a laptop considered to be a computer? This will be hot if it can be used for laptops.

Thanks twophaser for the 20% link. I just signed up for it.

when I try to resign for 20%, "You have already signed up to participate in this benefit."
No, I did not. I signed up for 10% one... now what to do? definetely a return/rebuy with a new reward acct. Thanks for the 20% link...

Hmmm, I don't qualify for either the 10% or the 20% offers. Wonder what their selection criteria are....maybe people who haven't bought that much lately?

I signed up via the 10% link. I came back to this thread and discovered the 20% link, and I was able to sign up through that link as well. Does that mean I'll get a bonus 30% reward?

I printed the confirmation page after I signed up, FWIW.

Yes, a laptop is considered to be a computer. Nice try, though

Who knows if it will actually work, but I wan't sure I used the right email address so I entered it again, and it said I had already been signed up. So apparently I'm in the DB at least.

i signed up for the 20% after the 10% and both were accepted. Staplez rulez! no wonder i'm addicted to office supplies!
