Need Printer Paper? Or Sharpies? Or Envelopes?

Get thee to Office Max! I updated my weekly deals post with this info, but didn't want you to miss it since that post is a couple days old. Here's the deal-i-o:
  • BOISE X-9 10-Ream Case Paper $34.99, get back $35 in MaxPerks Bonus Rewards (Limit 2) = FREE
  • Sharpie Fine Point Permanent Markers (12 pack) $5.99, get back $6 in MaxPerks Bonus Rewards (Limit 3) = FREE
  • Ascend Recycled Peel-to-Seal No. 10 Envelopes (50 count) $3.99, get back $4 in MaxPerks Bonus Rewards (Limit 3) = FREE

Looks like the MaxPerks rewards are Office Max money, similar to Staples rewards. Their website says:

"Bonus Rewards for these offers, along with any other Bonus Rewards a Member may have earned during the same period, will be issued in the form of a reward card redeemable toward future purchases. Reward card expires 90 days from date of issuance except for reward cards for FL Members, which expire 1 year from date of issuance."

Do you think that means a gift card? I've never done this, so I'm not sure.

You can also purchase these online and if you spend $50, you get free shipping (go through ebates for even more rewards). You can order online or sign up for the MaxPerks card here. You'll receive the MaxPerks rewards in February.

UPDATE from Dreaming of Deals - thanks so much for sharing this helpful info!!

"You won't get a gift card - you will get "credit" to your Rewards account. You'll get an email that says how much of a credit you have and when it expires. For example, I bought 3 1/2 reams of paper last fall and had a $60 Reward coming that I had to use by this March.

The email will have a pin number that you need to enter if you order online, or you just print off your reward certificate and bring it to the store to use after it shows up in your account.

2 things - they are really good about crediting you if your rewards don't show up for some reason...I ordered my paper on the last day of the deal and by the time it shipped, the order was showing a date 3 days later. Luckily I had saved my original email confirmation giving the date I ordered (save ALL your emails if you order online, you may need them) but it took more than a week for the rewards to finally post.

Also, watch the expiration - you only get 3 months to use the reward."

Hi Suz,

I am new to the Office max rewards.. so I hope you can post any updates when you get more information. I would love to get these stuff and get them back in rewards and I'm planning to use the rewards towards ink. =)

I always visit your blog, by the way. I love it! =)

Mona,
If I hear anything else, I'll definitely let you know. If you do this deal, you'll have to update me when your reward comes in. Thank you so much for your kind words! :)
