Limit exceeded, no longer works
Staples is offering $25 off $100 when paying with Visa Checkout. There’s also an Amex Offer many of us have saved on our cards for $20 off $100. All told you can pay just $80 for $125 of stuff.
Staples.com currently has a software download offer to get a Kaspersky digital download for just $.01 each after Staples Easy Rebate. You’ll pay $45.01 and get a $45 rebate for a net cost of $.01.
There is a  limit of 3 rebates for this deal per name/address/household. Here is the rebate link. (Note: rebate site is spotty today, but rest assured the rebate is there.)
To maximize this deal:
- Start off with a shopping portal – I recommend Upromise for 5% or Mrrebates for 4%
- Order three software downloads for a total cost of $135
- Choose Visa Checkout and you’ll see the price drop to $110
- The Amex Offer will bring down the cost to $90
- Get $135 back via the rebate
- Get $4-6 back from the portal
- Profit: ~ $50
The one issue to keep in mind is that they do charge sales tax even on digital downloads. My workaround has always been to choose a shipping address from a state that doesn’t charge tax like CA, NH, etc. (Just be careful to remove the address afterward from your staples.com account; you may inadvertently ship your next order there.)
Update: Apparently, some states don’t charge tax. Even if it shows sales tax, it might drop from the final charge.
Note there are two Kasperksy deals: one for a digital download and one for a boxed shipment. If you want to avoid tax, you might need to choose the digital version. If you live in a tax-free state then you can choose either one.
From what I understand, the limit-3 on this Staples Rebate is with the digital and boxed SKUs combined, so you can’t do this deal twice (digital and boxed).
There’s a good chance this deal the software download will go out of stock so worth doing sooner rather than later.
