Thanks for the headsup on this promotion. I'm concerned that if you go to the Weekly Ad on Staples.com and click on "Sneak Peek" to see next week's ad, the promotion only mentions their backpacks.
No matter what Glenda may have told you, I would want something in writing before I spend $100+ on a "free" laptop bag or briefcase. (But if my kid needs a backpack for September, I know where I'm headed!)
Maybe there will be some additional clarification online once the promotion begins on Sunday.
