$20 off $20 at Office Depot B&M

[blueberry muffin]

I used this today at several different Office Depot's and got a whole bunch of FREE ink cartridges. They are having an AWESOME clearance sale at the stores that are staying open. Many things are ringing up at 0.12!

[squidlover]

This is great! Limit one coupon per person/visit... I can handle that! Thanks!

[mahalo]

Very NICE!!!

1 coupon per person/visit? I wonder when they will shut off this deal :)

[mahalo]

Have different people used this?

I wonder if the coupon code is a one time use deal.

[irwin]

Thanks! VERY NICE

[eolivr]

This deal came from AnandTech and it was intended for just one person (the person who posted it). Its not a unique code so everyone is using it and OD is and will get hammered for sure. Won't last long.

It is also recommended to cut off the link printed on the coupon so it won't get traced back to the guy who posted.

[Mike7]

Would this be valid at Office Max stores, or just the Office Depot ones?

[legend]

Hey does anyone have the coupon that they printed out saved or can someone scan it in. The link no longer works!!! Thanks guys/gals

[Mike7]

> Hey does anyone have the coupon that they printed out saved or can someone scan it in?

No. No. No!

If I share the coupon with you, you'll try using it, and Office Depot will catch on all the more quickly and stop honoring the coupon and then I won't be able to buy 200 Pelikan M200 rollerball pens for $1.20 each. :)

[no_and_then!!!]

It's 6:40AM PST and I'm heading over to the local OD... anyone know if this deal is still alive? I'll post upon my return from the store...

[phredd]

Why didn't I print it out last night???



Sorry, but we are no longer accepting responses from the form you just submitted..

[Burzhui]

Those bastards, i am talking about the free 200CDR's deal, remember that, well first of all it took them like a week and a half to ship the damn things, and then guess what boys and girls they did not incule a packing slip or a reciept or anything so now i can't send for a rebate, so i call them up and i asked them to send me that reciept and i still have nothing

Utinam barbari spatium proprium tuum invadant! (for those who know latin)

[Burzhui]

Sorry guys, i meant to say office max

[threeclaws]

Does anybody know if this is still working in southern california? I just printed out the .pdf from Dimwit and want to go use it if I can.

[AmRivlin]

They must have recieved a bijillion hits to that link. The Network monitor rolls out of a nap about 4am and freaks, I bet they are calling right now to all the BM stores trying to stop it!

Way to go on the pdf to... hehehe

[Bires]

I went down to my BM (Medford, OR) and the CSR said that the code was locked out of the system because of "fraud." Apparently, corps killed the code in the central system. No big deal, OD stinks to begin with. I see them on the same tier at Circuit City.
Funny how when a company doesn't hire someone to be web savvy at the HQ, abuse happens, and it's *our* fault. "Fraud"? Get over it.

[jng]

that was pretty quick...

[squidlover]

Just got back from my local Office Depot (SLC, UT)... they accepted the coupon- no questions asked and their computer accepted the code!

[joe221]

Still working in West Los Angeles and Culver City at about 9AM PAC time. Joe

[TheLoneGunman]

heh, :heh: heh, :heh: heh :heh:

The link originated with my former employer!

Serves them right. Perhaps it will force them into bankruptcy if they have to repay Office Depot for their bungling (even though it's not their fault, make 'em pay anyway :smash: )

[J-Dogg]

Well if it's still working in some places, I've got to give it a shot!

[dag16]

pdf link is dead...

[Seagull]

I just returned from OD on the East Coast (Central VA). Cashier said " That's funny it was working this morning." She tried a few more times to enter it, then took out a stack of them from the drawer, compared the coupon code numbers and manually rang up a $20 discount. Customer service manager was standing behind the counter and said they have to honor them until the expiration date on the certificate.

[Gotdeals]

I went to an office depot in sunnyvale, CA. The computer did not recognize the code. The clerk said that it was working in the morning. So the manager told her to use some default coupon code and deduced the $20. She then asked for my print out. I quickly paid with cash and left as fast as I could.

[stupidzbu]

coupn wasn't in the system at costa mesa OD.... but... the guy manually punched it in

hehehe

[Y2J]

can someone repost the coupon?

[mahalo]

I printed out a couple last night :) Lucky me...

I wish I had a scanner, then I could post it for you all, considering I have taken so much from GotApex. Sorry.

[J-Dogg]

Oh yeah! Still works in Michigan! The CSR didn't even hesitate, punched in the first code, didn't work, so he just took off $20 from my order. Seemed like he had been getting a lot of them today.

Like a dumbass, though, I printed the coupon from the web and never saved the .pdf. Can someone who has the .pdf post it, or send it to me ([email protected]) and I'll post it. A couple of my friends here would like to get some cheap goodies.

[k28la]

I'll post it later when I get home from work :)

[stupidzbu]

what are you guys buying?!?1

as far as I could tell.. the only usefull things I could find were pens..pencils.. and notebooks!!

i was just imagining if they had DVDS hehehehhe

that would be SWEET!

i bought some erasers... pencils... pens.. and ONE notebook for $2.85

[J-Dogg]

Doesn't any of you have the .pdf file saved? We should get everyone in on this deal:)

and stupidzbu, the store I went to had everything, from CD-R's to Photopaper, to ink cartridges, even food, and household cleaning items.

[Y2J]

I got the 50 pack of 80 min OD branded CD-Rs. $19.99 - coupon + tax = $1.59

[Marinnat]

My coupon worked this morning in SF Bay Area. Bought the Cordless Logitech Mouse for only $21.39! Thanks a bunch for the posts and coupons...Keep trying!

[Redcow]

I found this picture of the image online. Looks just like the one I printed out and used. Some places are saying that the code was pulled, but customer service people will say (if you argue maybe?) that they have to honor it until the date on the coupon.

here you go. enjoy*

http://www.geocities.com/theylive23/


* No liability will be taken for this coupons use. It is for
you to see what the coupon looks like, and perhaps think about
what you might buy if you were so inclined as to have received
this coupon via email from Office Depot.

[Y2J]

thanks! yeah, they just used coupon code "1234" and took $20 off for me.

[tseng99]

I actually have this file saved in MS Word 2000 format...
I'm not sure how to post the file...if someone could let me know how..I would be glad to post the file for everyone..

btw: is it still working? what can you say to make them honor it?

[mahalo]

I just came back from the one in Mountain View, CA. they told me that the deal was cut at 12:30 today. They even had a sign for it. Sucks.

[J-Dogg]

Yes, it is still working! The deal with the code is that is was pulled, but supposedly they get offers like this all the time so they just override it with their own key. I gave the coupon to a bunch of my friends and they all succeeded.

If they do actually say something, then just point out it's a valid coupon, with an expiration date that is still a week and a half away. You printed it out on the morning of the 13th and didn't come right away because you though you had plenty of time.

[stupidzbu]

deal ded in OC.. i went to every OD in irvine & costa mesa..

said it was sent out by accident.. that I should receive an email about it soon

DOH!

atleast I bought some pens...notebooks.. and erasers!

but I had my heart set on that stapler =<

[Redcow]

anyone who gets denied. you need to argue with customer service.

A. it's a valid coupon, with an expiration date more than week away.

B. As posted earlier, say you received it from an office depot offer which is where you got it, not a mistake at all.

C. you waited till now to claim it because you had plenty of time

they can override, or enter $20 off manually as well.

[spigidygak]

Used it in Napa, got me a fiddy pack for tax, heheh. My roommate also got an ink cart too. They just did the override 1234 deal. Kinda funny how the manager was telling the cashier "oh is that the internet code? Well just override it, 'cause that code has been copied on the net or something." Thats when I paid exact change and walk out as fast I could. . .

[kalvnhobbz]

I was lucky. Went to 3 different Office Depots during the day and got away with it at all 3, for a total of $60 off...

each time it got a little harder to pass, though. On the last one, someone behind me in line happened to have it too. The manager ended up coming over and after keying it in for me (they used 9999, not 1234 after the original code didn't work...) told me clearly and directly that I couldn't come back in with the coupon. I agreed and left quickly. :)

[jason_j_a]

I used mine today at about 6pm EST. The cashier keyed in the code and it denied it. She then mumbled to herself "damn, none of my coupon codes are working today". And she proceeded to manually override it. I got myself a Kennsington Optical Mouse in a box for free! They had them on clearance for $18.98. Got that and a bottle of soda for about a buck. Cha-Ching!

[J-Dogg]

It's nice to have finally gotten in on one of these huge deals! I usually log on to find out that I missed them by a couple of hours. I wonder how long this will go on for. Just for kicks, I'll probably go in tomorrow and see if they'll take it again.
It was funny to hear that the Mountainview store had a sign on the door about the coupon!

[Y2J]

I reposted the better looking PDF. They told me at the one here in West LA that it must be in color as well.

to get the pdf, go to http://www.goclippers.com and click on "GoOfficeDepot" on the bottom left

[the_dude8]

does the kode still valid??

[J-Dogg]

Read the above

Code isn't valid, but CSR will give it to you anyway

[zoobee]

I guess I got it lucky down here in South Florida. The OD near me took the coupon around 6 pm 3/13 and said she had never even seen it before. Both me and my hubby used one! There are about 4 ODs near me, too, but I think I will just be happy with what I already got. VERY tempting, though.

[JoyLife]

Used one yesterday morning, and had no problem at all.

At first, I was about to use credit card,
but the clerk said I'd better use cash... hmm...

btw, she was wearing grey t-shirt.
is there a difference between regular red t-shirt and grey t-shirt?

It seems like there is only one grey color... which means... I am guessing,
she was the manager (or assistant manager)

Anyway.. nice post~~

[pd123]

It worked great for me today 3/14 at around noon in NJ. Thanks

[CiViC]

which nj location? i'm thinking of going tonight, but I don't want to waste my time going to a store that doesn't accept them...

[FOBSIDE]

it didnt work for me. i tried the one in santa monica but they refused it. i guess office depot is emailing the people that were supposed to receive the coupons again and going off that coupon. im sure some of the real people will get to use it again but its probably less of a cost to office depot this way. im going to try other office depots to see.

[pd123]

[methodMan]

"what are you guys buying?!?1 "

I used it Tuesday on a $19.99 (sale) leather case thing and paperclips (total price was about a dollar) - Wednesday I got a leather daytimer clearanced from $53 down to $14 along with about 2 years worth of undated pages for 32 cents after coupon. I should quit while I'm ahead, but they did have a sale on computer speakers as well. Hmm... The CS Manager Wednesday gave an excuse for the coupon not being in the systems, something to do with the "web people giving out the coupon before accounting has it into the computer system" or something similar to that - she didn't appear to be fully aware of the REAL reason...

By the way, if no one noticed OfficeDepot.com is doing free shipping on all items over $50 just like Staples does - if we can just get some online coupons...

[brettman]

This is your lucky day people - here's a link to the coupon:

http://slickdeals.net/rebates/OD20off20.pdf



now, will someone please go make me a reasonable offer on my laptop case I have for sale in the 'For Sale' section?

;)

[brettman]

sorry - I posted my message above before noticing there was a second page to this thread. I see somebody already posted another link to the coupon. Now you have 2 choices at least.

[spigidygak]

Sure, I will. But only with this $20 od coupon I got. . . hehehe

[J-Dogg]

I'm going to try it today again, see how the Depot is doing on coupon control.

[INeedAVacation]

damn, I feel bad for my wife. I got her to go down to the local office depot ('cause I conveniently had to go to work) and she tried the coupon (yesterday). They gave her a pretty hard time by first refusing the coupon, saying it was in valid, she replied with, "but it doesnt look in valid to me. See, it has the expiration date on here which is more than a week away." Then the manager akse how she got it and she said, "from my husband, he got it from an e-mail." The manager then said, "oh he got it from an e-mail? then it probably IS invalid." Which she then replied with, "but it doesn't expire until next week." He then explained that the coupon was intended for about 100 people but they had received thousands of them. Hmm....how did that happen? Anyway, she ended up getting him to input the coupon and we got a lot of free paper and office stuff.

I knew the Irvine one wouldn't work at all..but wait..did it work at the Costa Mesa one or not?

[brettman]

I just tried using my first one during lunch today here is St. Louis, MO and the cashier didn't blink an eye at my coupon. Got an optical mouse for $10. I'll try a different store tomorrow - I need some CD labels ;)

[Twilight]

Has anyone used one of these coupons at Office Max? Is it the same thing as Office Depot? I really don't wanna drive 45 miles to get to an Office Depot only for them to say I can't use the coupon.

[Mike7]

I wasn't sure whether Office Depot and Office Max were affiliated somehow, so I checked, and it turns out there's no connection. At least, that's what I was told by both a manager at Office Max, and a salesperson at Office Depot, so I'd say that pretty much settles it.

[EdtheSped]

I'll trade you 10 $20.00 off of a $20.00 purchase coupons for the bag!!!

Nice try pardner but I already have my own stack of $20 off coupons waiting to use. You're going to have to do better than that. ;)

I applaud your effort though - sounds like something I would have tried to pull

[Ant6177]

Just went to a local office depot and saw a sign saying that they weren't going to honor the coupons anymore. Guess the deal was good while it lasted.

i DID work... until I tried to do it again.. the lady rang it up... i was going to pay.. but I wanted to see if i had the right change! and when I DIDN'T and pulled out CASH.. she had already noticed it was teh SAME one that a HUGE sign said "no not accept!"

[jason_j_a]

These coupons are still working in my area. Worst they can do is say no, so if you haven't tried it in your area might as well give it a shot.

[AmRivlin]

Where is Saint Louis... What store...

I am coming home and plan to "hit" up some stores... :)

I live in south county

[Y2J]

It worked in West LA store last tuesday, and the manhattan beach store last night. I was the first person to bring it there. The manager tried to put the real code in 4 times before just using the 9999 override one. he didnt ask where I got it and it looked like he had never seen it before. So a 50 pack of CD-R's and a kensington optical mouse for $1.95 total isnt bad.

[J-Dogg]

It's still working in Michigan, and all of my friends have new presents :)

[brettman]

AmRivlen

My first coupon used in St. Louis was at the I270/St. Charles Rock road location. Tomorrow I'm going to try the south county store on Lindbergh - I too am in south county.
Small world. :)

Oh, and good luck!

[todd5813]

I bought ms streets and trips 2001 for 5 bucks and it has a $20 MIR

[giambona]

the OD store by me (on long island) recently went out of business :(

[AmRivlin]

I wonder why :)

Man I need to go, berfore they really stop it... I need Ink... About a year ago I vowed never to return to the south county store as I had abused many rebate pm deals before and the checkers knew me by face... I would drive hella far, but now its time to regain my reputation!!! THink I could walk in and out 4 times... Or maybe go to the copy section and make these copies leaving them everywhere!!! In fact I am gonna stand outside passing these out... No not really but that would be hella funny!

[FFTF153]

I used 1 today in Yonkers, NY. Thanks.

[J-Dogg]

This is just ridiculous. I went to a couple stores in my area and at each one there was at least one person in line who had this coupon. At one store, there were 4 guys with the coupon. This thing has spread like wild-fire and people are raping the system as hard as they can. Sorry to all of those who weren't able to get in on this thing, but to all of you still pillaging, have fun and god speed :)

[brettman]

I used another one today in St. Louis - south county location. Heading to a 3rd store tomorrow to try my luck. I know I should feel guilty about doing this but for some reason I don't. They're the ones that put the coupon out after all. I wish I could see some sales figure to see how much this coupon thing is costing them in revenues. They have to be taking a HUGE hit.

[J-Dogg]

Yeah, no kidding. I just went again today, plus 3 times over the weekend. It seems to be the only form of cash OD is accepting now :) Some stores in MI have caught on because they received a memo, but other stores still have no clue. I'm almost to the point of feeling bad, but it feels good to be part of perhaps the biggest deal since I have been a member here. I know one guy claimed to get the 20 pack of hard drives, but I doubt it. Is everyone else still using it, or has it been enough?

[Mike7]

Sadly, the Office Depot in Timonium, MD (just outside of Baltimore), and the one in Harrisburg, PA, are no longer honoring the $20 certificate.

But both of those stores did honor it up to about Friday. As did the stores in Parkville, Glen Burnie, Pikesville, and Catonsville, MD. (All in the Baltimore area.)

In fact, one could have visited these stores even 2 or 3 times each, using a total of 12-15 of the $20 certificates. Perhaps after work on Tuesday and Wednesday -- days when one was in Baltimore County on business. Since none of the stores are more than a few minutes off I-695.

Yup, one could've done this, all right. :)

[phredd]

For anyone in the Nashville, TN area...I used this coupon today in the Antioch OD. The cashier looked at it a bit suspiciously, but nonetheless accepted it. I'm debating whether or not to try it again in another location.

[J-Dogg]

Go for it, the worst they can do is say no. As you can read, everyone is hitting up multiple stores, and sometimes even the same stores a couple of times.

[AmRivlin]

I have visiting 7 stores? 9 in the STL area? OOPs

[reguser]

I took my husband to the OD in our area twice this weekend. The sales person didn't even blink for a second. Not a bad trip for $80 worth of free stuff. I got a pack of OD brand CD-R's for $19.99 and there was a $10 mail-in rebate for that. I also had a coupon I recieved through mail ($15 off of 50), so my savings are a grand total of $105. This is my second great deal here at Got Apex after signing in (after the staples laptop bags for $0.01). Thanks guys.

[AmRivlin]

Store 1: My area Um you need the color version, a rep steps in and says give it to him (29.96) Total 9.96
Store 2: Um I am the manager and OD officially never gave these out some hacker thought it would be a funny prank, I can not honor it. (0.00)
Store 3: What is this? THis looks homemade, after some bustling, Ok here you are. (21.33) Total 1.33

2 to go.

[J-Dogg]

Well the store is now writing down reciept numbers and the date the items were purchased, but still accepting the coupons. Just don't pay with a credit card if you use more than one of these things.

[J-Dogg]

Sorry to bring up this thread again, but this has been the best "Deal" we've had in a long time. The stores around me now know that the coupon isn't valid, but they were instructed to allow the customer to use it one time. Unbelievable! If I were them, I'd say we couldn't accept them, but thanks for trying to rape us anyway :) Anyone that used this coupon more than once care to share the value of this deal?

[AJ]

haha yeah...i Havent jumped on a deal in a while...
but heres what I got...

6 Spindles of 50 80min CD-Rs (300 CDs)
Logitech Nice Keyboard
3 reams of Printer paper
Leather 96 CD Case
Sharpies (for marking the cds)
3 plastic "EXIT" signs (@ 12 cents each, some places made me go over $20 subtotal and I needed to add 1 cent)


...for about $8

Those cds alone are worth like $100 to me...i paid exactly 2 cents a CD. go me.

[J-Dogg]

Damn, now that's a score. I hope that we won't get flamed for using this deal more than once, but it was really just a coupon :) My roommate and I got a lot of office supplies like labels, tape, 5 reams of paper, a lock box, folders, envelopes, etc. But the main score is yet to happen. We are going to take all of this in and exchange it for a 99lb safe! Always thought it would be cool to have one, and now we can lock up all of our legal docs and dangerous toys. :king:

[kevs]

I just went into a local store today and they changed the coupon to being $20 of $20 to $20 off $100. There was a notice that said that the coupon had been reprinted and that they were sorry for the people who really had the coupon. Oh well. It worked for me earlier in the week. At least I got it once!

[Y2J]

The weird thing about this deal is every single store I have been to has told me something different (or accepted it) each time I go. Its different per store, its different per day at the same store too. This is one of the most unorganized attempts by the corporate office to bring order to a retail chain

[J-Dogg]

It's funny, the deal's close to being dead, but like Y2J said, they are so disorganized at the attempt to kill it. Plus, they are still letting people do it, but "only one time, ok?" 3/25 will be a sad day and we probably won't see a deal of this scope for a long time. I'm sure my stash will hold me off, though.
