Check for your Staples rebate check

22

Frequent Miler's latest team challenge, Million Mile Madness, is happening now! Follow us as Greg, Nick, and Stephen compete to earn 1 Million SAS miles by flying 15 airlines before November 23rd. Who will complete the challenge with the most Speed, Affordability, and Style?

Follow along here!

I just received my first rebate check in the mail from Staples’ Free after Rebate purchases.  I previously received a rebate visa gift card which came in a regular envelope.  However, for those who have been playing along, it’s worth noting that the check comes as a simple paper postcard.  If you have a bunch of junk mail, you might easily overlook it:

Here’s to hoping we won’t toss/recycle our checks!

I placed my order on 2/17 and the printed mailed status came back about a week ago, but I have not seen my check yet, EEEEEKKKKK

Am waiting on mine. I’m nervous now, I hope they get here safely. :/ ?

FrequentMiler

tammy: I have now safely received three checks. Hopefully yours will arrive safely too.

Got mine for a 2/23 purchase and submission yesterday so just over 4 weeks and about a week after the status changed to “check printed/mailed”. Would be real easy to miss if you were quickly tossing junk mail.

[…] Yep, finally got one. It looks just like a junk mail postcard so be careful not to toss it! Here is a picture of it: https://frequentmiler.com/2012/03/26/check-for-your-staples-rebate-check/ […]

I got mine today, and I don’t know how they keep all the fraud from happening with this exposed check in the mail.

I got mine last Friday and my deposit has already posted. Thanks!

Jenny

I just got mine today too. 🙂

Family adventurer

Got mine today, too!

Good timing. Got home tonight and found the check waiting for me. 🙂

Mine has changed to check printed/mailed since early last week, but I still haven’t seen a check yet.

Honestly, they should at least put it in to an envelope. It could easily be stolen, or tossed away with other junk mail.

I’ll be on the lookout for mine from the February purchase.

Got mine (I only made one February purchase). Waiting on a March purchase now, doesn’t say mailed yet on the status though.

And I want the damn ultimate rewards mall to come back online! I need to buy some shoes!

I’ve checked my rebates (I made 3 purchases – 1, 8, and 1 copies of single product)- one is ‘validation complete’, the rest is ‘validation still in progress’. Did you receive checks from you March purchases?

FrequentMiler

So far I’ve only received 2 out of 4 rebates from February purchases and none yet from March. They say to allow 6 to 8 weeks.

I took my two $350 checks down to the bank, and the teller said “What is this?”

Darn I’m still in “Validation still in progress” phase! Thanks for the heads up though!

Mine received today, too. Thanks for the great tip.
