Since the beginning of the year Staples has created an ever growing amount of exclusions in their coupons. They have excluded numerous items by adding the words "regular price" to their coupons thus making sale items no longer included but also any item that has Easy Rebate or price match or instant anything excluded. They've created a long list of manufacturers items that are excluded. They've just started a dollar amount that has to be hit before a coupon is usable. They've also made it more difficult to shop in store if you have multiple coupons that cover different items in your transaction, you have to make multiple transactions in order to do so.

I like that Staples brought back 5% rewards on virtually all purchases. They used to have that back in their good old days but then changed the program. I welcome is back.
I remember the deals you used to be able to get at Staples way back when the site "Slickdeals" was actually useful and not the piece of crap it's turned into (over 10 years ago, wow).
Their customer service has gone downhill, that's for sure. But they also used to have OfficeDepot and OfficeMax as competitors.
They do have good pricing on computers from time to time, but their selection leaves much to be desired. I picked up a Lenovo Flex 2 laptop for my 10 year old niece a couple days ago for $89.90 after a $100 coupon. I'm supposed to get 25% back in rewards (another coupon) as well. It's an oversized netbook that's worth no more than the $89.90 I paid, but at least I get the Staples Rewards. Btw, the $100 coupon did not have a requirement for regular pricing... My Staples several of the Lenovo Flex 2 laptop on clearance (not surprised... it's too low end for even the most casual use).
Where the real of Staples is in office supplies. They have the cheapest paper around.

Oh man... those were the good old days. Late 90s, early 2000s. Not just for Staples but for online shopping in general. Slickdeals was a good site... it's a piece of crap now. In some ways, slickdeals was responsible for the changes Staples made. When people would just generate coupon codes to commit fraud, something had to be done. Gone are the days when $25 off $75 and $100 off $200 coupons would frequently show up in the mail/email.

The 25% excluded computers, so it's going to be the standard percentage of 2% to 5% based on yearly spending. The last (and current) $100 coupon only lists that it needs to be a Win8 computer that excluded tablets and the X205.

Mine doesn't mention computers and is a 16 digit coupon code. It's from my Staples Rewards account.
EDIT: I noticed that the one you posted doesn't reference Staples Rewards Premier in the fine print while the one that NJBest posted does. Maybe different coupons for different members?
