Free After Maxperks Bonus Rewards Pens Paper Bankers Box File Folders at Office Max 10/18-10/24

Hopefully not a repost and not sure if OfficeMax regularly does this but the first page of the ad has some free items after Maxperks bonus rewards. I've never seen them do this and it looks a lot like what CVS does with their ExtraCareBucks.

The ad says a purchase limit of three per item, and after looking at the fine print it looks like you will receive bonus rewards for each item (but not entirely sure). I will go in and buy the limits of each and then if need be call Maxperks and return if the bonus rewards is only being offered on one of each item instead of all three.

Seems to me to be a good deal, you could potentially get up to $107.88 in free merchandise. You maxperks bonus rewards are issued monthly to maxperks members and there are good just like cash (except cannot be used for gift cards....unlike the good ole' days). Cheers and enjoy!

Bonus Rewards are available only for items marked with the MaxPerks® Bonus Reward icon. All Bonus Reward offers are available from October 18, 2009 thru October 24, 2009. For Bonus Reward offers on Sharpie® Pens, OfficeMax® Multi-Purpose Paper, Fellowes Bankers Box® Storage Boxes and [IN]Place™ Recycled, Letter-Sized, 1/3 Cut Manila File Folders, limit of 3 per MaxPerks Member for each Bonus Reward offer. Items and related Bonus Rewards are available while supplies last. Member's MaxPerks ID card must be presented at time of purchase; no Bonus Reward adjustments will be made after purchase. All Bonus Reward offers valid in-store and/or online, unless otherwise indicated. For a percentage-based Bonus Reward, percentage of Bonus Rewards issued is based upon price actually paid by Member, as advertised price can be reduced by any applicable coupon or discount. Bonus Rewards will be issued in the next statement cycle. Bonus Rewards for these offers, along with any other Bonus Rewards a Member may have earned during the same period, will be issued in the form of a reward card redeemable toward future purchases. Reward card expires 90 days from date of issuance except for reward cards for FL Members, which expire 1 year from date of issuance.

givememoredeals said: Can i use my inks reward to buy this and still get rewards? Have anyone try it before?

You can't use reward points to get rewards points.

I have used my rewards to purchase an item that offered bonus rewards about 9 months ago and I have received the bonus rewards in the next period.

So, I can't use an instore coupon? I have $15 off $75. This isn't a percent off offer though so maybe I can?

OP, "Bonus Rewards" is not the same as "Free."

I think it reads that you can use a coupon but yor rewards will be reduced by same amount, which may be a good thing.

Agreed. They're only free if you continue to need more stuff from OM. Otherwise, you're on the hook for an equal amount of spending. Cheap, yes (as long as you have more to buy), but definitely NOT free, since you don't get it back as cash that can be used anywhere.

OP can easily fix the title to Free After MaxPerks and be correct.

BTW, red-ing someone for the truth is moronic, people.

Can the rewards be used on non Office Max gift cards like a Visa card? I don't see anything in the terms and conditions saying you can't.

Thanks

JaxFL said: Any good ways to cash out the rewards? I don't know of any way that you can easily cash out the rewards. I recycle ink so the rewards from this deal plus my ink recycling rewards will be great for some Black Friday shopping. If you do this then you're spending about $7-$10 for these 12 items which is about the 8% sales tax that you wouldn't receive in rewards. Thus you're paying about $0.60 per item. The 5 ream case of paper alone is worth about $7-$10 if you ask me.

sneakers said: Has anyone tried to stack rewards from one account with rewards from a second account? Thanks

My stores most always allow me to. I work with a group of 8 people and when one cann't use the credit, we share with the others. I have used 4 diff accts for a purchase once.

givememoredeals said: Anyone know how the bonus reward shows up in their account? My account shows the purchase but not the bonus rewards. Thanks

I was wondering the same thing...the purchase show up but, not the rewards!

SVTour98 said: My purchases don't even show up yet. I'll give it a few more days then I guess I'll have to call.
Same for mine, and purchased on 10/18.

givememoredeals said: I ordered online on the 23rd and still no sign of purchase on my account? Do you guys think i have to add the receipt into my account manually? How are you guys having it show up in your maxperks account?Both my online and in-store purchases showed up automatically.

My rewards number was reflected during my online purchase and my in-store receipt shows that I used my rewards card.

According to the terms of the bonus rewards offer, your card must have been properly scanned (or reflected online) at the time of purchase to receive the bonus rewards.

I have never had to manually enter a purchase for a bonus rewards offer and my worry would be that the system would assume that the card was not presented at time of purchase (since otherwise the purchase would have been added automatically). I would call OM Maxperks customer service to see if their system shows the purchase.

I got my rewards credited today. After bitching twice by Email. . . I love Staples

got my rewards today and was missing the sharpie reward. I spent half hour on the phone and they opened a case but made no promises. im going to try and return them but its over 30 days already...
