I've still got 2 x ream of reflex paper on backorder ... after >4 weeks. I'm 1/5 for Staple points posting in my 5 x Aquire accounts.
 
I had to do a backup order last night as first order has been on backorder for 3 weeks. Useless.
 
Fair enough... Can't say I'll ever use Staples again after seeing them handle this. Points aside, I've not had them respond to one email!
I won't use them once, as they haven't responded to either of my emails trying to set up the accounts. Time for some parking that I'll buy tonight.
 
In their defence I placed another order on Wednesday, all 5 items delivered Friday.
 
I'm happy with Staples as well - the purchases I would have made anyway and they were cheaper by about 20% than I had expected to pay (of course, the free delivery promotion helped).

Needed to go and pick up mail from PO Box and get some $ from ATM. Had back-to-back bookings between my two ABN's ($10 for casual parking). After getting mail, I exited the carpark and went around the block. PIN's worked a treat. Should be 1 x 20K and 1 x 10K points coming my way for an investment of $20.

It's nice when a plan just "works". :p
 
Seeing that some peoples Staples points have posted I went looking and found my 2 Staples points have from my purchase on the 15th October. I have been exporting each months activity to Excel - I guess I will need to re-save October but may need to again if the bonus points post at the same date.

Has anyone had any of the double points for flights post yet?

20k + 10k? I thought it was 10k (joining) + 10k (partner purchase)? Where is the extra 10k coming from?

My guess - existing account for 10K (purchase) + 20K for a new account (join & purchase)

10K for new partner purchase on an ABN which was aready registered with AQuire, 10K for registering a new ABN (@$50) with AQuire and 10k for a new bonus partner purchase on that new ABN account.

[edit]
I do note QF WP indicates a $20 all up investment - either they received a promotion for free enrollment or forgot about the $50.

Just checked all my Aquire accounts, only 1 has the 8 points for staples purchase.
They may be slow in posting points, but I have no complaints with the Staples deliveries, between my accounts and works, all items delivered (and they are both rural deliveries) with no problems.
 
The five week deadline for my points is tomorrow so I'll be planning to call on Friday.

Thanks, I thought it may have been something else but wasn't too sure. In that case, you'd need two ABNs..

On the money Serfty. Forgot the $50, so investment is $70. Pity, as I had pre-registered that one but didn't register :/

I'm looking at 30k garnered in a similar manner.

My investment was effectively a little less nett in that the items purchased were not frivolous in that I intended to buy any way and Staples were cheaper than my normal place of purchase by about $12 in total.

I did the secure parking one for a park I needed anyway - 4 weeks later and no points, and obviously also no 10k. Bit worried, haven't heard back from Secure Parking either.. Might have to order some business supplies!
 
I visited a Regus Office in NYC when I was there in September... this reminds me I have to chase up those points.

I've already made a call to Regus to try and get my points after a visit. No joy. Promised a call back but never got it. Has anyone seen anything post from Regus?
