Staples $30 card with purchase and recycling

This deal at Staples requires you to jump through a few hoops but may be worth it if you are replacing a camera, printer, GPS system or other small electronic item.

Now until November 15, 2008, you can get a $30 Staples Rewards card (which is like a gift card, you can spend it on any item at Staples) when you purchase a qualifying tech item and recycle a similar item.

For instance, if you bought a Kodak digital camera priced at $139 or more and recycled any digital camera, you would get the $30 card. Here is the list of eligible purchases and trade-ins.

See your local store for details and to confirm they are participating.

Caveats: You don't get the $30 card until January, 2009. The Brother labeler model 1880 is excluded. You must join the free Staples Rewards program to get the discount. You have until the last day of the calendar quarter to redeem your issued rewards. Read more about how Staples Rewards works.
