As teased last Friday, the Office Depot Duracell Rewards promotion is back, running for the week of Sunday 10/23/16 until the end of day on Saturday 10/29/16. The terms are the same as before, you can buy up to two 16-packs of Duracell AA or AAA single-use batteries, and get their purchase price (minus $0.01) back as Office Depot rewards. Sales tax is not refunded. You can find these through the Office Depot and Max Rewards and if you page-down to the bottom there, you can see the terms for this particular offer. The rewards will be sent separately from their monthly rewards, which is a good thing. The offer is good for in-store purchases or online purchases and orders by phone too. The limit is a two maximum per customer for the week, regardless of order method.

The Duracell Battery Rewards promotion is back at Office Depot and Max Rewards. It is good online or in-store. You can get a 16-pack of Duracell AA or AAA single use batteries for $13.99. Make sure you use/enter your Rewards account when you purchase them. A few weeks later you will receive $13.98 back in Office Depot Rewards. Limit TWO per customer during the week of October 2-8 in 2016. These rewards will be emailed separately from the monthly rewards, so you will receive the full amount.

If you are buying online, an order of $35+ gets you free shipping. At the Rewards page you will also notice a Folgers coffee promotion (seven options) that is 100% back in rewards. These will not be emailed separately, so make sure the total is in multiples of $10, since the regular monthly rewards are issued in $10 multiples. The Folgers is online only. Limit five per customer.

NOTE: you cannot “roll rewards” any more. You have to pay for this order with “new money”, not with existing rewards. If you are not familiar with how their rewards program works, be sure to research it, do not assume it works a certain way!

UPDATE 8/28/16: the fine print of this offer (both online [view larger screenshot] and in the printed weekly ad) says the Rewards will be sent separately, so you will get the full amount (sales tax NOT included as usual with rebates)… Also, the offer is good in-store or online according to the Office Depot Rewards page.

Keep in mind, you can’t roll rewards any more, so you have to pay with “fresh money”, not with existing Office Depot Rewards! The good news though is that they have began sending out the rewards faster than they used to.

ORIGINAL POST
Duracell party reloaded! Between Sunday 8/28/16 AM and Saturday 9/3/16 PM, the Office Depot and Max stores are bringing back their 1c after Rewards promotion on the Duracell single-use alkaline battery 16-packs. The promotion includes AA or AAA 16-packs. You have to buy the specific SKUs that participate in the promotion.

You pay $13.99 plus tax (if applicable). You must show your Rewards number (or use your phone number to look it up). A few weeks later you will receive $13.98 in Office Depot rewards in your online account. You can use those for future purchases there but you can’t “roll” them. Limit two per customer during this week, your choice of any combination of AA or AAA 16-packs.

The one question is whether these will arrive separately or will be part of the regular rewards. You want them to arrive separately, otherwise you won’t get the full amount. This is usually mentioned in the Weekly Ad fineprint and on their Rewards website after they go live on Sunday 8/28/16. You won’t get the full amount because for their regular rewards, you only get rewards in multiples of $10. This is a very sneaky way of not paying you the rewards you earned AND getting away with it (until bored Attorney Generals go after them).
