Staple Rewards - How to Save Money at Staples
I frequently get my stationary stuff from Staples. After my most recent visit three days ago, I was given a form to fill out that will enroll me in the Staples Reward program. Given that I review credit cards, I felt a little jaded and wanted to toss out the flyer. But I kept it and read it at home.
Staples Reward Formula - If you enroll in the reward program, you will earn 2% in cash rewards for up to $15 per quarter when you spend $200 or more at Staples within the calendar quarter. You will earn 2% rebates on all purchases except computers, gift cards, postage stamps, sales tax, state fees, Awards.com purchases and purchases made from outside companies through Staples.
Free Delivery - Members will get delivery free from any phone and online orders regardless of order size.
20% rebates on Copy & Print Center purchases - When you spend $50 or more a quarter at the Staples Copy & Print Center, you will earn 20% back in your reward check for up to $200.
Gold Membership Upgrades - If you spend $1,000 or more in one calendar year, you will be upgraded to Gold status where you can earn 5% rebates for up to $30 a quarter.
Link to Your Credit Card - Best of all, you can link your Staples Rewards membership to your credit card so you do not have to carry your Staples card all the time.
At this moment, I am revisting my cash back strategy. I am now considering getting the American Express SimplyCashSM Business Card because I can earn 5% rebates on gasoline, stationary and wireless service. Since there is no tiers like my Blue Cash Card, I can earn these 5% rebates right away. Now if I were to link my Staples Rewards to the Simply Cash Card, I might earn higher rebates!
This is what I plan to do and I will report when it’s all set up. But if you shop frequently at Staples, getting a Staples Rewards membership probably makes sense.

Update your post this is the old rewards card. As of March 2007 the rewards program has changed in key areas! You now get 10% back on Ink, Toner, Paper and Copy Center purchases! You can save up to 40% on Ink… How? Follow these guide lines…. 1. Bring in the empty inks and recieve $3 each (HP, Lexmark and Dell) 2. Buy multi-packs you DO save. 3. Use your rewards card when purchasing to get the 10%.
BTW- The rewards card is not a cedit card it is a free program for frequent shoppers.
