I was told by the company mine would be available on Jan. 20th, last night the 14th I received an email that my points are available. I'm tempted to use them for the freebies this week...but we have a ton of paper already. I saw in my local Office Max ad, BOISE X-9 case of paper printed as, "pay $37.99 plus earn $35 in MaxPerks bonus rewards". Which would really be 2.99 plus tax. The online price says, 34.99 so, I may go that route. I have the teachers perks card at OfficeMax.

I found out today that the bonus perks are sent out monthly for people with the business card, but only quarterly for the people with the teachers card. So, for those of us who did the October paper deal and used a teacher's Perks card we may not get our Bonus rewards link e-mailed to us until about the 20th of this month. Hope that helps clear up confusion. Just an additional comment for those of you who are doing this deal….there are two Perks cards available – one for business owners and one for teachers.

Is that right? I'd rather not pay $70 OOP and have a reward that can just be used at OfficeMax; I can't afford to do that. But, if it's like a rebate, I'd consider doing the deal.

My total came to $50 and some change, so free shipping. I used my $51 in rewards I received from the last deal. Paid $4 which was just tax for a case of paper, (2) 12 packs of sharpie markers and a box of envelopes. And I'll get my $50 back in rewards. GREAT DEAL!! Thanks Crystal!!! i just completed my order.

Apparently it went into the system late and didn't generate by itself until i called. I saved the email that confirmed my order so I had all the documentation that I needed. It was a quick call and worth calling in to get the money that was due to me. With the CURRENT deal, I am wondering if I should do 1 case of paper or two. I'm not sure if you get back a limit of $35.00 or if you would get $70 if you purchased two. Thanks! The free paper is fun! (I can print more coupons!) :) I had to call customer service also and they mailed me a gift card on the last deal.

I signed up for one business account in my husbands name because we have a small home business and I also signed up for a teacher's account for me since we homeschool. The business account gets their bonus rewards each month posted to the account, but the teacher account is only posted quarterly. Hope this helps someone.

The business Maxperks release their rewards the following month. The teachers Maxperks release on the 20th of the month after each quarter (Jan 20. April 20. July 20, and Oct 20). The benefit of the teachers account being that with every $75 you spend you get an additional $10 in rewards. Not sure if business account has any additional benefit.

I don't want to pay nearly$70 OOP either, so I am a bit confused as well. Maybe I'll wait until the next big deal comes up. Jessica-MomForHim, I would say the same thing you said.

I used credits from my recycled ink turned in to pay and received the max perks credit of $51.00 by 12/18/09 just like MSM said in the post. In fact, I just used a big part of those perks credits to roll over for this deal again. Now I will have another $70 to roll over in a couple of months or to buy much needed ink. thanks, MSM.

After doing the paper deal, I actually received my rewards and then used them to order some office supplies. Got an email notice that my order had shipped but it never arrived. I contacted customer service and they said they would look into it and get back to me. The very next day, I received a check from them for $59 (the amount of my rewards) in the mail with no explanation of what had happened to my order.

I was kind of waiting until the 20th to see if it was something that only showed at the end of the period. If you have a discover card you can get 5% cash back bonus if you shop office max thru the shop discover link (you have to log in to your discovercard online acct to get there). Staples also has several 'like free" items this week and they issue their rewards monthly, not quarterly. It's pretty similar items.
