So you have to spend $500 to get $25 back?
Ryan P says
Here’s how it works.
Let’s say you buy 2 of these products:
BOISE X-9 8.5″ x 11″ Multiuse Paper (10-ream case) – $41.99
Sharpie Black Fine-Point Permanent Markers (12-pack) – $8.29
You spend $50.28 on your credit card + tax. (Shipping is free over $50)
Sometime in mid-late February, you’ll get an email letting you know you now have “$50.26” to spend in rewards. So, it is like getting these items for $0.02.
You can either spend it on something in-store or online, OR, you can wait for another “Free after Rewards”. (They run these on Sundays. Some weeks are better deals than others.) You can spend this $50.26 towards these FreeAfterRewards items, and you’ll get more rewards in March. (That’s called “Rolling” your rewards forward.)
Beware of expiration dates! It’s usually 3 months (depending on state) that these “rewards” expire.
Lastly, you can also earn some extra $$ by using eBates or FatWallet type of sites.
Good luck!

Wow Ryan! You beat me to it, and your explanation is awesome! @Jo you do also earn $25 for each $500 spent or you can do the free-after-rewards items and get back all or almost all of what you spend on those. I prefer those special deals because I’m getting my money back. I can always use printer ink or buy gifts with it.
jo says
cool thanks for the info….so Office max you can roll rewards …I heard staples you can’t is that true?
Ryan P says
Yes, you can “Roll” rewards at OfficeMax. Not at Staples.

I don’t quite understand how the maxperks works. Does the money go on our card and we can use it right away to buy other stuff? Or does go towards the 500 you need to spend to get the 25 off? Dumb question I’m sure..but want to make sure before I purchase.
Shannon says
MaxPerks are similar to Staples Rewards. You earn $25 in your MaxPerks account when you spend $500 between 1/1 and 12/31. The spending carries over month to month. The fine print on this week’s rebates says this: Bonus Rewards for these offers, along with any other rewards a Member may have earned during the same period, will be issued in the next statement cycle in the form of a MaxPerks Reward Card redeemable toward future purchases at OfficeMax®. So you won’t have the rewards right away but on the next statement cycle.
