Question about cartridge credits

[pcake]

I have a question that I don't see in the FAQs that I hope someone can answer. I wasn't following the cartridge return credit rules carefully and I took in 3 recently. I should have waited until I have 4, because no credit is issued unless you have at least $10 coming. So, I am considering purchasing the 2-5 ream packs of HP paper this week @ $39, which should bump up my credit to the $10 I need. (We don't generate many emptys!)

When this credit is issued, will I receive 1 check for the $10 plus I am owed, or am I going to receive a series of coupons (like in the past), each for $3, and that must be used in separate transactions? I can't figure it out and would appreciate any help! TIA

I turned in 3 a couple months back and got my $9.00 check a few weeks after. Im not sure if the rules have changed since then though.

We got a check/coupon that has to be used at Staples.

There is no minimum for you to get rewards from ink recycling. You will get your check for $9 without buying any paper.

The $10 minimum is for quarterly rewards which is usually paper purchases. Quarterly rewards and ink rewards are a separate deal and will even come as separate checks.

The ink rewards will come as a check for $9 that is only good at Staples. If you use it online you will have to spend the whole amount at once or you lose the balance. If you use it in the store and don't use the whole amount a coupon will print at the bottom of your receipt with the remaining balance and the same expiration date as the check had. When you use that coupon you have to use the whole amount or you lose the balance.

No, you won't..........so don't buy the paper unless its a really good deal or you really really need it. Your ink recycling rewards and your regular rewards are issued seperately. The ink recycling rewards come each month and the one for the purchase of ink/paper comes every 3 months.

no any recycling rewards are just issued no matter how many or how few, it's only the rewards from actually purchases that must add up to 10 dollars or more even though i have gotten small checks from that too though i wasn't suppossed to and last you can stack them together as long as they are from the same rewards account

And best of all, at my Staples, they take my credits even if they have expired.
