Answer 1

I work for Staples and I was surprised that this program was ending this month.  I am also surprised that manager denied you the coupons becuase I was told to still give them out until the 31st.  Yes, we are not supposed to give out that many but my store still gives them out to customers to come back in like you said you did, maybe issuing 3 to 9 at a time becuase we were told not to worry about monitoring it.  The stores are not being supplied with more coupons so the manager might not have wanted to give out the rest and deal with multiple unsatisfied customers who were demanding coupons.  The savings on ink will now be directly applied to the staples rewards program, so you should sign up in store if you havn't already.  The inkdrop program is no solution, that is just a service that provides you with the needed ink without physically visiting a store. I would try dropping by a differen't location before April

Answer 2

You have 47 recycled cartridges left?.....or 47 coupons?.....doesn't matter.....

You should try the InkDrop service Staples provides.

It might help that "packratitis" of empties.

If it's 47 coupons.....develope your own recycling network of "trade". Sounds quirky, but most local business use small copiers/printers made by Hp, Lexmark, and Dell also. Trade out coupons for something equal. No, I don't think you'll get free gas. Provide Identification if needed or even show it to those you don't deal with to avoid called a "scammer" .

One thing I would like to say......Thank you for recycling and keeping it green!
