Update 2: It also looks like there is a VIP program with 3% rewards instead of 2%.
Update: Dallas will also be added July 1st.
Introduction
One Mile At A Time is reporting that OfficeMax & Office Depot are testing a new loyalty program called ‘Rewards Everything’ at the moment the program is only available in Denver and Nashville and customers that are located in that area are automatically converted to the new program. Rewards Everything is a pretty simple rewards program, you earn 2% (in reward certificates) on all purchases with no exclusions and no minimum to redeem.
The current OfficeMax/Office Depot rewards program is pretty lackluster, you basically earn 10 points for every dollar spent on ink and toner; case, ream and photo paper; copy, print. 1,000 points will get you a $10 rewards certificate.
Reward Details
Members get 2% back in rewards on everything, FREE delivery with no minimum purchase (oversize and special order items excluded), exclusive offers, and $2 back in rewards when you recycle your ink and toner cartridges ($10 minimum monthly purchase required; limit 10 cartridges per month). Plus, all rewards are paid out – there is NO threshold to earn a reward certificate!
In addition to this if you spend $500 or more within a 365 period, you’ll become a VIP member and VIP members earn 10% rewards on ink, toner, paper and copy/print/ship services, extended sales dates, surprise samples, and a special offer on your birthday! This is basically what the current rewards program is and if your VIP you’ll continue to earn the 2% back on all purchases.
Our Verdict
I can’t see a situation where this gets rolled out nationwide without gift cards being excluded. For those in Nashville & Denver, I’d get in on this while it lasts because even in those select markets I can’t see this lasting long. OfficeMax/Office Depot code as office supply stores, so in addition to the 2% back in rewards certificates you can also get 5x/5% cash back.
