HeWillSoar Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Can you still turn those in for credit at the office supply stores? If you do this, can you tell me which store you use and how it works. I did this but it was ages ago, and now I have a big baggie full of cartridges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petrichor Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Can you still turn those in for credit at the office supply stores? If you do this, can you tell me which store you use and how it works. I did this but it was ages ago, and now I have a big baggie full of cartridges. I remember doing that ages ago. Office Max/Depot and Staples used to take them. I haven't seen anything about it lately. We use toner now, and it comes with it's own box to mail it back (no credit). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maela Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 I'd like to know too. I have a ton of old cartridges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoo Keeper Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 My used ink cartridges go to Staples for "Rewards", also known as credit that I can use in store or when shopping Staples online. The Rewards do have an expiration date, and you are limited in how much you can turn in each month. The program is free to sign up, and I've found it to be one way to save some money on the never ending ink/paper/pencils/notebooks/stuff purchases. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FawnsFunnyFarm Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 I just read that for the Staples rewards you have to spend $30 in ink or toner there within the previous 180 days in order to get the credit, you are limited to 10 cartridges a month for $2 credit each. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommy22alyns Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Yes, now you have to buy ink at Staples in order to get credit for the cartridges. Which sucks, because Amazon is cheaper! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Tick Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 I switched from staples to office depot due to crazy-making issues with their rewards program. Office Depot is slightly better, but I think they have the same type of "buy some ink here to get the discount" type of deal. After I switched Staples bought Office Depot, perhaps they valued my business more than I realized! But also, any differences in policy will likely disappear in the next few years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparrowMom Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 My husband turns in ink cartridges to Staples. You do need to buy ink from there, too, but that is not a problem for him since he buys the ink for his office. Financially, it has helped us out a lot. He uses the rewards money to buy homeschool supplies for the kids, and on months when I don't need anything, he buys paper towels and cleaning supplies.

HeWillSoar Posted March 26, 2015 Author Share Posted March 26, 2015 Thanks! I guess I'll wait till the next time I need ink. My ink disappears so fast that it won't be long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cintinative Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 I turn mine in at Office Max (now office max/office depot). I am not familiar with the restrictions others are mentioning--maybe I do need to look at it, but my understanding is that you can't get ink credit until you have spent that much money (on anything in the store). So if I have $20 in ink credits I will get it paid out when I spend $20 in store. I will admit to not having looked at the rules recently so maybe I am wrong.
