Staples Rewards

FYI:
Just a heads up -- If you're like I was and thought you earned 10% back on everything in the store, you don't:

The following Qualifying Purchases are eligible toward earning Rewards:

Ink and toner used in copiers, fax machines and printers excluding printer, fax and copy machine drums, label maker ribbon, and refill kits;

Case and ream cut sheet paper excluding photo paper, dot matrix/"computer" paper, fax thermal paper, resume, stationery, invitations and specialty paper, paper rolls, labels, carbon and carbonless forms, notebooks, pads and filler paper;

Copy and Print services excluding postage stamps, shipping and shipping supplies, merchandise used in assembling copy print jobs, custom printing orders placed online, and 3rd party services;

Other products or services as may be included from time to time by Staples, in its sole discretion. 

It's still a bargain if you watch your ads and sales. Staples has some great HOT buys from time to time. I just thought I'd pass that on since it was a moment of shock when I checked my balance after school shopping and realized that my purchases didn't really count. Bargain Shopper Learning Moment.
