**If you're not familiar with Staples Rewards program or Easy Rebates, here are some details.........
"Staples Rewards" - Rewards are like coupons for store credit that are mailed quarterly (as long as you've earned $10 or more).  You sign up for free and are given a Rewards card, which they scan at checkout (or look up by phone number).  That's it!  No mailing or submitting necessary - just look for the Rewards in your mailbox w/in the next few months. 
(They do expire, but my store still honors them so it's good to ask!)  One membership per mailing address. They have brochures in the store, and you can sign up online.  They always offer 10% back in Rewards when you buy any ink or toner, case paper, ream paper, Copy and Print services, and $3 back in Rewards when you bring in any ink or toner to recycle (up to 10 per month).

"Easy Rebates" - They really are easy.  Either follow the directions on your receipt to mail it in, or fill out the online form at StaplesEasyRebates.com with the information from your receipt.  You should get the amount back within 4-6 weeks.  It's usually in the form of a postcard check, unless specified that's it will be a Visa Prepaid debit card.
