Complaint Review: STAPLES

 Staples used to give you $3.00 trade-in for your old cartridges and this was an immediate cash discount for current purchases at time of visit.  They then went to a $2.00 trade-in but that was not immediate but rather they would send you a certificate WITH AN EXPIRATION DATE!  They then (last year, 2012) reduced the trade-oin to $1.00.   They're entire "REWARDS" program is a FAKE bunch of crap.  I have never received any sort of a credit toward any reward of any sort except the INK CARTRIDGES and now that is worth "squat."   I Try not to purchase anything from this business (or any other STAPLES) and if I must purchase In cartridges there I don't gibve them a trade-in---I throw the old ones out.   Stapes has found a new 'Profit Center' by only allowing the present $1.00 trade-in;   this times milions of customers equals a lot of $$$$$ !    You may recall when they stareted useing an in-store DEBIT CARD that you purchased from a machine:  Well, that too is a RIP-OFF!  Here's is what they plan on>>>   You buy the card, insert same into one of they're copy machines for your copies and still have five of ten cents left on the card;  See where i am 'going' with this?   They have it all figured out!

Another greedy American Corporation!
