Staples $15 off $50 in-store coupon **YMMV**

[trisho.]

Are Staples' Easy Rebates really that easy? I'm just wondering because I have one for a 1 GB SD card I bought last week and am wondering if I should return it and just buy it cheaper from Newegg.com or somewhere else. Or possibly return it then buy it from a different Staples with this $15 off coupon.

Thanks,

Not only are they easy, but they have the reputation among 'rebate junkies' of being the quickest and most reliable. My few experiences with them confirm this.


Update...

Epson Stylus CX3810 Color All-in-One $17.50 AR/AC (it's an easy rebate too):

$62.50 - $15 - $30 = $17.50 + Tax (on $47.50)

And, I don't think there's an 'instant savings' you have to worry about either, therefore this deal should work for everyone.


Update...

Whoa, there's another 30 MIR from Epson for this, meaning you make money after the deal:

Yes, they are great for the main reason that you know when you submit it, as long as you don't return the item you will 100% get the rebate. None of that "invalid barcode," or "missing signature" BS some fulfilment companies try to pull. Also you know when you sumit the rebate it's submitted. None of that "Sorry, we never rec'd your submission" stuff or having to spend $ on delivery confirmation (for larger rebates).

I think the ink carts are only good toward ink purchases. That is what the huge sign
says when you enter. So I put my 4 carts back in my pocket when buying the 150 DVDs of the other day (for $9.48, thank you very much!)

That's interesting, because I asked the cashier that, and she said no, I can apply it anything, in addition to stacking it on top of other coupons (that normally wouldn't be able to be stacked). Maybe she just didn't know the rules well enough.

I pulled out the ink cartridge and she gave me the coupon on the spot as I was buying the burner.
