Staples Rewards Program

I recently discovered that Staples has a pretty awesome rewards program. It’s called Staples Rewards, and anyone can join. (There are other stores that stipulate you have to be an educator or business owner or something else, but that’s not the case with Staples.) With Staples Rewards, you can earn 10% back in rewards on all ink and toner, case and ream paper, and Copy & Print Center services. There's no limit to how many rewards you can earn, and members receive special savings and opportunities to earn extra rewards. 

My favorite perk: When you recycle ANY ink cartridge, you receive $3 in Staples Rewards, and you can recycle up to 10 a month. Earlier this month, I took in 10 empty ink cartridges (all accumulated while I was in grad school) and will be receiving a $30 Staples Rewards credit very soon. I'm so excited! 

Ink recycling rewards are issued every month, but all other rewards are issued quarterly. 

To join, just fill out this short form. For more information and to learn about other perks, head on over here. To find a Staples location near you, go here.
