Edit: I posted this and had to go to a class without trying it. You can get up to 4 of the Photo papers online and have delivered to the store. So with that, it all totals to almost 1000 points for the $8 in taxes and non rebated part. Not the best deal but pays off part of the spend for the bonus! PS thanks to the Mod that fixed the title.

Thanks. I love these FARs.

Interesting. Only the online purchases made through the UR portal are eligible, right? Would this work through the UA mall too?

Many portals offer incentives. It just depends which incentive you prefer. For me, it's SPG or AA.

With Staples the best deals are when you can apply a coupon, either online or in-store. Their ink cartridge program is also pretty good - buy at ebay and recycle at Staples for a profit. Many of their FAR software items that they have offered in the past also are offered in digital download for which several states (including my state of Virgina) does not charge tax, and these are often limit of 5 or 10 rebates, so you can go through a protal and get the portal miles and your credit card miles. These are truly free after rebate - just change your delivery address to a state that does not charge sales tax on digital downloads.
