I just purchased Norton 360 V4.0 at a local Staple store.

The price list at the shelf is $79.99. But the sticker on the box has “$30 instant savings for Staple Rewards Member”

The same thing from Norton is listed for the similar price.

I checked out at the cashier, she asked me if I wanted to join, there will be a $30.00 instant rebate. I hesitated, but she asked again and I agreed. Final price for the goods $49.99. It is a steal.

I did my rebate submission on line and I printed out a receipt with a number on it to track the status. I don’t use snail mail at all for these things. This is my first rebate and it’s only $5.00 so if I don’t get it in 4 to 6 weeks as promised… Lesson learned and no more buying at Staples. Will let you know.

On 1/10/2010 I bought several items from Staples that I was supposed to receive a rebate for through STAPLES REWARDS. I haven’t received any information. Please advise.

I expected an $18 reward from Staples for paper purchased during a 50 percent reward on paper promotion in Sept. 2009. No rewards yet,
and it’s 2010. Early Feb. 2010 I called and the rep. claimed that
50 pct. only kicked in after $150 in paper purchases. Staples Rewards Stinks!

I have sent in used ink cartridges and assured I will get my rebate tne next month. Have not received anything. I have tried calling the number listed and cannot get through. What is the holdup?

We use this for our home based business. We get HUGE rebate checks. We spent over $1000 last year (not hard even if we didn’t have a business as long as you shop only there) and we now get so many benefits. I just placed an order and saved nearly $100 by using my rewards. I do buy paper and print toner through them which is where you get the most rewards from them.

Complete waste of time and money.
We have not gotten the rewards checks we’ve been promised and we have overpaid for our ink due to the failure of this program.
Staples is scamming small business owners and not sending the rewards checks.

This program is a joke. I don’t see any immediate discount, and I buy quit frequently there. Every time the cash register ask me about presenting the reward card, I give them a smirk in the face, because it doesn’t do a thing. Nobody in the right mind will go there and spend over $200+ bucks just to save a little $15 bucks. Don’t fall for this useless program, as is it so pestering and useless every time you make a little purchase, it won’t make you feel special or any richer….!!!

You also need to beware of purchases made using a Staples Cash Card (gift card). Staples hasn’t figured out how to allow you to use the card for on-line or phone purchases, you must palce your order in a store (they can place the order on-line) then pay with card. However, your purchase made this way doesn’t feed over to your Rewards account so you have to call them to get your purchases added.

Beware, your purchases may not being credited to your Staples Rewards account by linked credit card.

Apparently your credit card can no longer be linked to your Rewards account. I had used my linked credit card to make purchases, without supplying my Rewards number, and my purchases had been being credited to my Rewards account. Recently I discovered that the last purchase made this way credited to my Rewards account was in August, 2008. I can also no longer find a place on the Rewards website to link a credit card. The customer service rep I talked to on the phone wasn’t aware the it had ever been an option and suggested that I can get credit on my Rewards account for purchases that had not been credited by calling in, or entering online, those receipt numbers. I may see if the store can reprint my receipts for purchases made using the credit card.
