Free Backpack. Any Back Pack!

I'm headed to Staples this morning to pick-up my new backpack. Haven't figured out which one yet, but it doesn't matter because they are all free today.

Any back pack is 100% free after rebate at Staples.

I love Staples rebates because you don't have to photo copy, clip UPC codes or mail anything in. You just need to log onto their staplesrebatecenter.com site, enter the rebate offer id, your mailing address on the rebate form and then the 10 or 12 digit code (I forget how long) on the bottom of the receipt. Just confirm and they'll mail you a check.

But this deal is even better! NO FORMS TO FILL OUT AT ALL! Buy it with a Rewards Number and then THAT IS IT. They'll automatically fulfill the rebate and send you the voucher back to you via mail (or email).

It's the one part where I agree, "Staples. That was easy."


UPDATE: Some of our EL CHEAPO readers apparently are balking at the "fine print" because it's not a cash-back rebate, but a Staples credit rebate. But c'mon, who won't be able to use $16.04 in the next year at Staples (ink? paper? back-to-school supplies? anything for your office/business/job?)? They have backpacks as nice as $100 with 25% off for laptops, etc. REALLY nice knapsacks. But my Disney Cars backpack will do just fine for Spencer. Mine came with a bonus Cars Lightning McQueen lunchbag! ;-) Phoey on the cheapoes. Hooray for deals like this.
