Anyone who bought the "free" backpack at Staples

Did you get your rebate yet?

I didn't buy that, but about 1 week before I had other rebates (paper and pencil sharpener). I just got them in the mail late last week.

I got a gift card but it doesn't say for how much so I have to call. Didn't get any of the other rebates yet

I got my giftcard on sat.

Just in time to use it on the last of the needed school supplies.

Oh! I just got it. Yay!

I was getting worried. Younger two DS go back to school tomorrow and oldest DS goes on Thurs and I still have a couple of things to get for the youngers and everything for the oldest (he has to have seven 2in 3 ring binders, with pockets and fold over flaps - can you say ouch!) so I'm so glad it finally came.

I got mine yesterday BUT I returned my backpack 3 weeks ago. Can I go to the store to tell them it was in error? They said the return would cancel the rebate. (I am not trying to get keep the rebate, can I return the gift card?)

Check the balance on the card - it may actually be zero.

I'm hoping mine comes soon. DS needs a graphing calculator and that will cover nearly all of it!

Got my rebate on Sat 8/28. I submitted it online the 1st day the offer was available.

I got mine today, bought on that Wednesday, probably submitted a few days later. I was going to call and confirm that it was for the correct price.

I got mine last week. I'm using it tomorrow for a few last things we need. I also started getting the rebate checks last week.

 

[QVCshopper]

I'm still waiting; I hope the rebates all come soon!

I got my gift card yesterday.

Can you use the gift card on another item that has a rebate?

The gift card is a method of payment, it shouldn't matter if you use it to purchase a rebate item. Your best bet would be to ask the manager or send an email.

I used mine yesterday to buy the reams of paper that have a rebate.

Speaking of which, does anyone know if Staples takes coupons after the fact? I was going thru the newspaper insert last night and came across coupons for $2 off a ream of the paper.
