    This is a 3 step process that took me time and talking to the staff until I understood. It’s clear now on their website. 1. Buy at least $30 worth of ink. 2. Take in your cartridges. 3. Buy more ink and use the rewards from what you’ve earned (3 cartridges equals $6). You do not receive a check. You get a discount on ink. I’ve used it several times. Of course, I found this site because for some reason today, I can’t figure out how to get my reward, but I will. May not have been enough time yet.

    Dropped off 10 used ink cartridges about 2 months ago and the store manager has no idea what they are doing. No records of anything. He said “maybe they disappear after a month of not using them”. So he said it takes a month to get rewards and u only have a month to use them. What is this a game? Ridiculous. I stopped shopping at staples because of this. Everyone was lost

    I did not receive any reward dollars for all the ink cartridges I returned in 2018. The store Manager has NO idea how to correct the situation. Can you fix the problem??

    I have submitted a good number of cartridges and have not received any payment. When can I expect to receive the check that the clerk said would be sent in the future. This has been going on for a long time and ir long overdue.
    Thanks

      I have not received a copy of receipt of the cartridges returned, possibly it came as an email. I get lots of them and they are unsolicited so I delete them, maybe that is what happened. my rewards number is; 4051486597.
      I am afraid it may expire the end of this month, November

    Seriously for the commenters. Please Read. Valkana also chimed in above.This site is a money saving blog. It is not hard. Go to shttp://www.staples.com/sbd/content/help-center/staples-rewards-program.html#expand_all. It has answers to all FAQ and a customer service phone number. This is a savings site. They are not Staples, thus they cannot help you get any rewards you may be owed.

    Again: http://www.staples.com/sbd/content/help-center/staples-rewards-program.html#expand_all

    When you have an issue with the company, you should contact the company, not unrelated sites.

    I am not affiliated with Staples nor this website. Just a random visitor.

    And about a year ago when I lost mine, they said hey really don’t or can’t replace lost rewards :/
    That is never fun. May be worth a phone call, but Staples is the only one that has anything to do with Staples Rewards…….

      >.> Just because the site is telling you Staples has a recycling program, doesn’t mean it has anything to do with the program itself. Why not try going to Staples website (the website belonging to the people you turned in your cartridges to) and asking them why you don’t have rewards credited?

      BTW, as fine print listed on said website: http://www.staples.com/sbd/cre/products/perm/ink_toner_recycling/
      “*To qualify, you must spend at least $30 on ink or toner at Staples in the past 180 days.”

    I returned 10 empty ink cartridges to the Elk Grove store today. How do I check that the $20.00 “credit” is applied to my account and when can I expect to receive my reward(s).

    Have turned in 10 used cartridges twice. Didn’t get reimbursed either time. From the other comments this appears to be a trend. It’s good they are recycling, but customers will stop if they continue to fail to reimburse people.

    I have 8 recycling credits, but was told by a representative of the store in Vista that I have to receive coupons in order to purchase new ink cartridges. How do i get those coupons? I have 10 additional cartridges I would like to recycle.

    I signed up for your card & ink cartridge refund program. I turned in 10 cartridges and was wondering how long it takes to receive an email? I’m concerned because the salesperson filled out my form for me and used all capital letters on my email. Will this make a difference?
