REVIEW: Staples Easy Rebates... IS Easy!

Staples has been advertising their “Staples Easy Rebates” at:

all over the place. Well, I am here to tell you “it REALLY is” easy!

I am shamed to say I am one of those people who buys things on rebate and then ultimately waits until “the last moment” to send them in. I vow each and every time I will change, but to date it has not happened! Considering I am on a mission to eliminate unnecessary stress in my life, you would think I would have changed this behavior by now.

Traditionally the “day after Thanksgiving” is the shopping kick off for the holiday season. People rush out in the middle of the night to be first on line for the huge savings. I can't believe this myself, but this time I was one of those people!

Even though... I spent Thanksgiving with friends, came home late, slept for about 2 hours, when the alarm went off, I was dressed in a jiffy and off I went at 5:45AM to Staples — list and credit card in hand. I don't remember ever moving that fast for anything else. As I walked in the dark I prayed that I would not be mugged as there was not a single other person around — walking that is.

Staples had a load of goodies that I absolutely needed, but could not touch at this time without the huge savings. For that I was willing to put myself out and be “one of the nuts” who were out in the wee small hours of the morning.

Guess what... IT WAS FUN! IT WAS EXCITING! I GOT “ALL” my treasures!

NOW... To file the dreaded rebates.

Last night I surfed over to Staples Easy Rebate Filing method which is completely online. It was fabulous. Being my filing was last minute a few did not go through and I called the phone number on the bottom of the receipt and got friendly voices on the other end who were more than a little eager and willing to help me get my rebates in on time. All I had to do was feed them the information and they did the filing for me — with a little time to spare.

IT WAS NEVER THAT EASY!!!

The moral of this story is... DO file the rebates when you get home from the store as the method is quick and easy and before you know it your rebate will be in your hot little hands!
