Ink Carts will be credited to your rewards card, at a limit of three per day. If you submit three per day for ten days, you should expect a rewards check for $30.00 to use on store merchandise. Three per day for 20 days, a reward check for $60.00. etc. All of the totals are calculated quarterly, so the first quarter ended on March 31st, to be mailed by middle of April. second quarter ends on June 30th, to be mailed by middle of July. third quarter ends on September 30th, to be mailed by middle of October. fourth quarter ends on December 31st, to be mailed by middle of January 2009. 5. When asked how I will have proof of actual ink carts taken into the store, I was told that a receipt would be given for each transaction.

My husband is checking the math with me on this... and an 8 year old who is often smarter than me... if you submit 3 ink cart per day, don't they credit your account $3 each for a total of $9 for that day? So at the end of 10 days you should have a total credit of $90? This just reconfirms my opinion that schools need to get basics of reading/writing/'rithmatic. How else are kids these days suppose to figure out all these new rewards programs, deals, rebates, coupons.....the REAL WORLD stuff.
