I have a Staples Reward card for teachers and would be allowed to get up to 20 of everything that has a limit to purchase. For example, I could buy 20 packages of the 1 cent pencils. Just a thought for teachers!!

The ad here in Medina, OH did not carry the $5 off coupon which was a bummer. No problem using the BIC coupons though….

Sumi,

What a terrible customer service experience. I am glad Teri has been able to direct you to a better store. I also hope you will take the time to call corporate customer service and provide feedback on your experience. It may help turn around things at that store.

Thanks Teri,I will try to stop by the Glen Ellyn store tomorrow.
I tried again today afternoon with different manager, no luck.
They were rude with everybody whoever had the coupon.

Sum, if I were you I would take a trip to the Glen Ellyn, IL (Roosevelt and Park) Staples. They were willing to accept all of my coupons and the cashiers and manager were great. The store is fairly new (opened in April) – it is clean and well stocked. Sometimes it is worth a little drive (probably only about 20 minutes for you) to have a pleasant shopping experience.

thanks Mercedes for letting me know. I just came back from Staples, and couldn’t believe the rush there. I was able to use my bic coupons as well as use the 5 off 20 coupon. I had no problems and I bought the paper and photo paper as well as few other school supplies that were dollar each or under.
Oh and the paper rebate, its per household, not per person.

Hello,
You are doing a fabulous job of maintaining the site, Kudos to you. I wanted to share my experience with you as well as other visitors of this site about Staples location at Naperville IL.

The store assistant manager refused to accept the $5 coupon off the $20 purchase as she considers the price after rebate doesn’t meet the $20 requirement. Even though the fine print clearly states the contrary that it should be accepted. I didn’t look at the fine print in the store. Following my visit to the store I called customer service, they agreed with the fine print that it should be total price of the receipt.

Secondly, the store asst manager wouldn’t even accept the $1 coupons for the BIC ball pen, again she believes the item is already discounted ($1.09) so the coupon cannot be combined. Reluctantly she accepted 1 of the coupons.

I am hoping to use my $5 off coupon, any suggestions or ideas would be appreciated.

Gessner store in Houston, TX – sales circular did not have the $5 dollars off coupon. Manager was unwilling to accept the BIC coupons. Said they only accept “Staples” coupons.
