Update 4/1/26: Looks like Staples is offering 200 points per Amazon return (limit 1 per 48 hour period) until 5/16/26.
Staples employees already hated processing these returns so having to ask for rewards details will only make that worse for them. Will be surprised if this is extended and it’s only worth $1 but might be useful to some.

All Staples stores now accept Amazon returns, without the need to box up the items. As with similar partnerships with Kohl’s, Whole Foods, and UPS locations, you’ll generate a barcode within the online return system which they’ll scan at the Staples store and process the return.
Readers note that, anecdotally, Staples has been giving out $10-off-$30 coupons to those who do their Amazon returns. Kohl’s has been doing something similar with $5 Kohl’s Cash credit.
From what I’ve been told by Amazon reps these barcode returns are not interchangeable, and you need to generate the proper scanning bar for each location.
