Staples B&M Rewards Members: Recycle Old Gear, Get $10 off $30+ coupon

If you have old cameras, printers, camcorders or any other electronics that have a very low resale value or would take forever to sell in the used market, and if you are a fan of the Staples B&M stores, and a member of their Rewards program, for the week of November 12-18 (Saturday night) in 2017, at their B&M stores, if you recycle old electronics, they will give you a coupon for $10 off a future purchase of $30+. A complete list of what recyclable electronics they accept can be found on their Recycling Promotional page (includes modems, cordless phones, fax machines, dvd players, calculators, keyboards, mice, etc).

PRO TIP: if you have more than one item to recycle, and want more than one coupon, you can always go there on different days/times and recycle them one by one or in smaller quantities 🙂 A list of items they don’t accept is also listed (TVs, floor speakers, lamps, bulbs, large servers, kitchen electronics, etc).

Their Rewards program is free to join and participate.

YMMV: 8% back in eBay Bucks [no minimum]

It’s the Union of the Two Towers ~ in a good way ~ if you are an eBay shopper.

As previously mentioned, running until next Monday morning is a big 20% off coupon promotion for all.

And here comes the second, stackable offer: IF you are participating in the eBay Rewards program, you may have also been invited to participate in another Bonus Bucks promotion, you get 8% eBay Bucks without a minimum purchase amount until Thursday 11/16/17 at 11:59pm pacific time.

First you have to manually activate the offer from the eBay email or your eBay messages (if invited/selected to participate). Some exclusions apply as usual and the maximum rewards you can earn is $100 per transaction, and $500 during the promotional period.

A good place to look for ideas are the eBay Deals along with the Trending Deals (shows only 100 trending deals, less overwhelming to look at than their main deals page). There’s also a dedicated search box there that searches only the Deals, not everything else on eBay.

Another way to look for ideas is our eBay Category posts here…

Using coupon code PSHOPEARLY in the eBay shopping cart, you can get 20% off eligible items from the 120+ participating retailers that have an individual price of $25+. The maximum discount is $50 off. In other words, items with an individual price of $250+ get a flat $50 off discount.

You can use the categories on the left hand side of the website over there to filter by various factors. There are over 3600 items under the Camera and Photo category. As usual, keep in mind that eBay is a Wild West marketplace, products are in various conditions, in various warranty situations and sellers are of varying quality and reliability 🙂
