If reward is not redeemed in full on an in-store purchase, a one-time-only coupon with the expiration date of the original reward will be printed for any remaining balances of $1.00 or more. Balance coupon may be used for future store purchases. Expired rewards cannot be reissued. Staples reserves the right to change the rewards program at any time without notice.

Our Verdict

The first five digits of your code will determine what your mystery reward is, we currently know what the following rewards will be:

  • $5: 70348
  • $10: 35753
  • $25: 80776
  • $50: 50454

If your code doesn’t start with any of the above, it means you’re got a code worth $100. Let us know in the comments what you received. May the odds forever be in your favor. To get the code you need to be a member of Staples Rewards and they are sent out randomly (with e-mail subscriptions turned on).

Expected value of this award is $7.37
3*1000+475*500+1425*250+2375*100+47500*50+237500*25+712501*10+3748231*5
3+475+1425+2375+47500+237500+712501+3748231
35012915 / 4750010 = 7.37

I always get just $5 though.

In this case the MODE is more useful than the expected value, unfortunately…

Thanks for posting …I’d sent it to delete..figuring it was too much trouble. But it’s for $10 and surely I can find $10 worth of merchandise to buy!

Thanks so much for posting about this. My offer was in my email trash, but I had the $50 w/ code 50454.

Note that the gift card has to be spent by 3/25. But still, very nice reward! Kudos to you, Doc. I would have missed out on this one.

Does anyone know that if you can combine the rewards and the easy rebates coupon? e.g. there is a coupon of $5 for 5-ream case copy paper after easy rebate. If I can use both the $5 mystery rewards and the $5 coupon, will my oop be $0?
