FF Points from Office Depot purchases?
 

Are there any FF plans which give points from Office Depot purchases? (I don't have any credit cards that give points, so just interested in straight-forward FF cards.) I have to buy an expensive laptop for someone and I wouldn't mind getting a little something for my trouble. Thanks!

2 miles/dollar if purchased online through the link at one pass shopping. There are probably other program links as well.

You can review different offers at EVReward.com, I usually use Mypoints.com though since they offer a fixed number of points that is better than points/dollar offered elsewhere as long as you're ordering at least $50 worth and less than a few thousand worth.

If you want AA miles, link through the American shopping portal and get two miles per dollar.

Many airlines (and Amtrak) have Office Depot as a partner. And you can order online (and get the miles/points) AND pick up at the store!:cool:

beware the united mall. they sometimes botch up or forget mileage postings from online shopping and you wait long months

US Airways gives a mile per dollar spent and it counts towards preferred status until the end of the year

OD (2x), OM (3x) & now Staples (4x) ^ in the NWA Mall

Thanks, guys! I think the US Air is my best option as it seems pretty straight-forward *and* I was in danger of losing my points since I haven't flown much on Star Alliance in the last few years.

You may wish to consider that the US miles would credit directly into a Dividend Miles account only -- they can't be credited to another *A partner.

If you have a small business, or for that matter, a social security number that you can use as an EIN for your sole proprietorship, you can get an Amex business card, which gives you a 5% cash-back rebate at Office Depot. Get a Delta Skymiles business Amex and you'll additionally get one Skymile per dollar.

Point taken - I use my US Air Dividend Miles for all of the (very few) Star Alliance flights that I take. I had a Lufthansa M&M card a while back but the points dropped off after I didn't fly with them. I'm pretty firmly in SkyTeam's grasp here in Prague. At least this way my US Air points will stay active and I can get a few flight or two next time I'm in the US.

BTW if the purchase you are making is printer ink, skip the online chain store whole miles game and buy at ebay's store called EFORCITY. (do a search therein)

I had great results and they have a 98% approval rating with like 4-5 stars, so that's good enough for me. My friend who lives overseas uses them too, and while the ink is NOT the one for YOUR printer manufacturer, we have epson and canon and the ink has worked WITHOUT A HITCH for both of us in every case!!

An example of their prices:

5 inks for the Epson 1270 stylus cost me $5.95+ like $10 shipping and that was for 5 ink cartridges!!! Lots on shipping but STILL low in the end!

I had always been reluctant to try those cheapo ink stores you get emails about all the time in the spam or bulk email box but when my friend told me it worked for him, I tried it and it also has worked fine for me. My printer is just fine, and has NO errors or clog ups from using ink that is not from that maker.

All I can say is this:
ONE ink cartridge at Office max, depot or ANY store mentioned above cost like $25-30+ per!

Miles? Hmphhh. Be happy you used your mileage earning CC when shopping at the ebay store I use!

;)MM

I have supported ~100K pages of printing over the last couple years, at least 40K printed myself from a different source. Seeing how much ink I was running through, I emailed the major ebay ink sellers telling them the lowest quote gets my business. Eforcity was more expensive than Abacus and Abacus gave me an easy to use website to order directly for less money than on eBay (once you coniser S+H): http://www.private.abacus24-7.com/

Check out their best price guarantee; not only will they match, but they will permanently lower their price if presented with a lower one!

I have ordered probably around $1000 of ink over the years...at about 15% of name brand. No problems with the ink.

I have also won items on eBay from EFORCITY and had no problems - bu the shipping was slower.
