****** "write in campaign" for staples.com

[shank]

Credit for the idea goes to Robocop on Fatwallet.com:

One of the main reasons for jumping on the shoppin.net bandwagon was to get something a bit extra for all of those PM deals we get at staples.com

Now that it appears shoppin.net is no more, let's put our influence to some good use and bombard ****** with requests to add staples.com!

"Send email to customerservice@******.com with 'Suggest a New Merchant' in the subject line, and put in staples.com in the body of the message. If we suggest, they will make it so..."

This could end up being a very hot deal for those of us who spend hundreds per month at Staples.com - even though we get most of it back in rebates.

Why is shoppin.net no more? Page is back up.

Dash has 4% at Staples. http://www.dash.com Just got my first check.

How long does it take for Dash to send a check? I've emailed them to ask, and they just autoreply a message about reading the FAQ, re-installing the dashbar, etc.

The payment schedule is NOT in the FAQ. I've had cash pending since November.

I think from purchase to the time you see a check, it's about as fast as ******. You just have to request it when it becomes available. I believe you can request a check once a month, tho.

Here's a very fast response from them. Helpful...

Dear Dash Customer,

Thank you for your inquiry. Savings will move from 'pending' to 'available' within 90 days of the end of the month in which the purchase was made. Once your savings are available you can go to your My Account page and you will see a 'request check' button and you can then request that a check be sent (assuming you have $5 of 'available savings'). Different merchants take a different amount of time to become available but it will not take longer than 90 days from the end of the purchase month.

The cut-off date to request a check is the second Monday of the month. Once requested you will see a pending check request on your account page until the 3rd Monday of the month when the checks are mailed. At this time the check status will change to 'processed' and you should receive it within 7-10 days. If it's been longer than 10 days from the date processed, located at <http://www.dash.com/dash/myaccounthistory.asp>, please let us know.

If you missed the cut-off date, your check will be processed the following month.

We are working on simplifying the process and you will see a much improved system in the near future.

Please let us know if you have any further questions.

Thank you.

Sincerely,

The Dash Customer Service Team

****** sends you a check the quarter after you make the purchase, so I think it works out to be about the same.
