Office Depot and Office Max operate together as an office supply retailer, selling basic supplies like printer paper to equipment like file cabinets and furniture. It has a free rewards program with two tiers that reward customers for shopping.
You’ve got nothing to lose with Office Depot Rewards — especially if you shop online. When you make an account on its website or app, you’ll automatically start earning rewards on purchases. But keep an eye on your email or account so you don’t miss your certificate.
Office Depot Office Max Rewards is free to join. Customers earn 2% back in rewards until they spend $500 or more in a calendar year and become VIP members. VIP Reward members can earn 5% back in rewards and unlock free shipping with no minimum. So instead of spending $150 to earn a $3 reward certificate, VIP members only need to spend $60.
Members can recycle up to 10 ink and toner cartridges a month and get $2 back per cartridge. And you’ll also get $2 back in rewards for leaving reviews — up to three per month.
Here’s where it gets tricky. Office Depot issues certificates once a month when you’ve earned at least $3 in rewards. Unissued points expire at the end of each calendar quarter: March, June, September and December.
You’ll get an email on the second Monday of each month letting you know if you have a certificate. And once issued, you have 60 days to redeem it before it expires.
Follow these steps to start earning Office Depot Office Max rewards:
When making a purchase online or through the Office Depot app, you must be logged in to earn rewards. When checking out in-store, ask a sales associate to look up your account with your member ID or phone number.
Check your rewards balance anytime by logging in to your account or viewing your monthly statement email.
Yes. You can’t use your certificate on gift or prepaid cards or backordered items. And redeeming your rewards in-store is limited to 3 transactions per day.
While it couldn’t hurt to join Office Depot Rewards, it’s reward system has quite a bit of fine print. Consider a different reward program if you don’t want a short 60-day window to redeem your certificate.
