  I believe it’s 4-6 weeks. They have to be sure that you’re not going to return the item before they send the rebate. Hth!

  Mine were also 4-6 weeks. I try to do them as soon as I get home, because they are a good solid month from arriving.

   If I get the BIC mechanical pencils for $.50 and use my $1 coupon, do they adjust down the coupon or would they let me get two packs?

  You can get two packs and the overage just is used towards the rest of your cart. You can even use two coupons if you hve them! It’s awesome. But say you had the one coupon get two packs … Both are free. Say you had two coupons got two packs at 50c each applied two $1 coupons there would be $1 overage used on anything else you are buying … It is awesome… Kinda like Walmart does… Hope this helps. If you aren’t buying anything else they probably will lower the coupon but if I were you I would find something to cover the other 50cents lol. Happy shopping!!:)

  I always get “overage” with a coupon higher than the product….they haven’t adjusted it down for me.

  My staples won’t use a coupon for me of there is an overage. I can’t find the staples coupon policy to show me what they are doing is wrong.

  I was just going to pose that question. Where is Staples’ coupon policy because I just had an absurd discussion with the manager who claimed she phoned in to corporate and they said they no longer accept coupons like the $1/1 Bic coupon if I am purchasing two $0.50 pencils.

  I emailed them a few months back for their policy as I had a problem with my local store. They told me that they do not have a corporate coupon policy and it is up to the store manager as to whether they will accept a mfg. coupon.

  My opinion is that people are having the issue with the line “no cash or credit back” to staples it means literally no money out of their register back, or gift card.. When really I lets say am using the left over 50c towards another item… The policy does not say i am doing anything wrong.. there for I call the store I am heading to.. ask the manager if I can.. he says yes so I do it. Kinda end of the story lol. Sorry to anyone that is upset with that. BUT.. I know that Staples customer service rep said they are working on changing the policy to be strict ……. and I was told by customer service this is the only policy they have for coupons that applies to their on-site and in-store. Hope this helps you. 🙂

   Unfortunately the Scotch expressions coupon is LIMIT 1 coupon PER DAY…..was seriously upset by finding this out this week. OfficeMax had them on sale $1 each….what a joke of a coupon.

   Now that it’s after midnight I checked my “Coupon Wallet” and found “FREE after rebates” for the copy paper, pastel paper, and photo paper. No limits printed on them, but I assume those are still what Collin has posted. Sweet deal to roll the rest of my July rewards over into cash!!! 🙂

  Yeah, that was a BIG FAT PAIN today! However, the woman who rang me up was totally willing to separate into 4 transactions, which was so nice. I think that every one of these coupons this summer has said something different. It took me a half hour to ring out, but they were really nice about it, thankfully.

   As far as I know, if you use a coupon for the Bic pens and then submit for rebate, you get the rebate amount in what you pay for after coupon.

   As for getting overage, I did not know Staples likes gives away FREE stuff. Back in November (my last time visiting Staples), I saw they had Bic pens on sale for $1. Clerk told me it was actually in the ad as a way to clear out overstock from September. They substituted a similar Bic product for the $1 price. I then had a $1/1 Bic coupon and told me that I could not use it because the item would be FREE.
   Apparently, they did me a favor by substituting another similar item. Nowhere in the ad did it mention, supplies limited.

   Needless to say, I walked out and told them forget it.

  Yes I’ve done the bic deals about 3 times now and first I called before I went and the manager said it was ok being they didn’t have a real strict coupon policy stating what to do with coupons; and being when I got there and the manager accepted the coupon and no where does it state you can’t…. There is nothing your doing wrong 🙂 maybe give it another shot?

  I got overage the last time I shopped-the pens were $.50 and I had $1 coupon and they took it w/ no problem.

  If you buy enough stuff the cashier probably won’t bother to check and see that you are getting it for Free. We all know some cashiers don’t like us to get stuff for free even if it is legit! As for the rebate, when my Staples takes man. coupons the amount onlinees off of all of the items. If it’s for $1 and I’ve gotten 10 items .10 will be taken off each item, so my rebate could be minimized by .10, but not always. Sometimes the rebate is just for a set amount. Sometimes it is for the price paid.

  Retail Me Not website. Under Staples coupons for online and in-store. (This rebate was for both online and in-store) It lists all of the deals going on right now and expiration. The rebate is submitted as an easy rebate (just like the ream of paper). The rebate will onlinee back in the form of a $5 gift card. HTH!!

    If i buy $6 worth of stuff, and have $3.50 worth of bic coupons that brings my total to $2.50, can I still get the penny items for .01?

  shannon August 25, 2013 at 7:29 am MST

  the actual out of pocket expense has to be $5

  pam August 25, 2013 at 8:24 am MST

  I disagree. The coupons aren’t entered until all products are scanned. Therefore, you WILL get the items for a penny if your precoupon total is at least $5.00.
  So, yes, it should work, Melissa!

  Nevermind. It must have been a mistake. I went back a couple hours later and now the deal is not there. I emailed them about it. They must have realized they made a mistake and took it off. It would be nice if they would email me back. I find OfficeMax to be difficult, but for free stuff I’ll deal with them! 🙂

  is this in the ad this week?
  Also, this is probably a dumb question, but I have virus protection for half a year still on my onlineputer. If I bought the 2013 edition, could I use it in 2014?

    Surprisingly – last night before midnight I looked up my local uponlineing ad and all of these fabulous deals were in it. But now I am looking it up and they are all gone!!!!!!!!!!!! Our ad is sparse and disappointing. This has never happened to me before with Staples. Now I am sad as I delete my shopping list.

  they have had penny deals for weeks. I think they are probably ready to go on to other sales. They have to make money too.
