Update 2: Commenter writes that he was able to get the $15 Paypal credit yesterday on his account, so it appears that this is indeed still alive!
He also notes that this is eligible for the Visa Checkout $30 off $150 discount for items (excluding gift cards) bought on Staples.com.
—————————————————————
Update 1: The terms on Paypal’s website say the code must be redeemed by 12/31/14, but Staples.com is still advertising you will receive $15 back from Paypal for this product:
Save a screenshot of the Staples.com page in case of any issues that Staples will need to stand behind.

If I did this last year and entered 3 codes and they were added to my paypal can it work again this year? Or is it 3 codes over the lifetime of your PayPal account?
In the rebate terms it says. The offer is good until 12/31/2014
can i still get the credits if i did this last year?
Is PayPal one of the better services to use? I.e. do they take the same, more, or less than the other card reader companies per transaction?
Thank you.
will this work if i have done this last year?
There might be an issue ordering using mobile browser, shipping is initially free then seems to be added right before placing the order…
was reading the terms: “All redemption submissions (including signing up for a PayPal account and confirmation of your email address) must be completed by 12/31/2014 11:59:59 PST.”
per rebated details fine print it says $15 rebate expired 12/31/2014.
According to the link about getting $15 back, submissions must be made by 12/31/14. Unless there’s a new offer…
also in the link for terms and conditions on the paypal.com/redeem page, it currently says the same thing. This might be a problem, folks
If you took advantage of this promotion previously, can you do it again?
It says on the form that the promotional credit is only valid through 12/31/14.
limit 3 per paypal account for life or per promotion i got one $15 credit for a CDW order so i have 2 left ?
Would this work with visa checkout discount if I purchase 13 of them?
“All redemption submissions (including signing up for a PayPal account and confirmation of your email address) must be completed by 12/31/2014 11:59:59 PST.”
Seems like this is expired unless I am somehow misreading this
Look at the terms and conditions it says it expired on 12/31/14
PayPal says must be submitted by 12-13-14
How do u open the staples account? How do I get a rewards number?
Yes ithat worKS with visa checkout if you purchase 13 and you can still get the 15 dollar credit even though it says offer expired I redeemed a bunch yesterday with no problems
u can order from the paypal app for free – much easier!
To MH:
HOW???
It says expires on 12/31/2014
where do i find the code to put in paypal?
I just got it today, and I redeemed the code. It appeared in my account instantly.
moshiach – You have to open the package and scratch off a code. You cant miss it.
When I scratched off the silver to see the code with a coin the code was not visible on 2 of the cards. Will Paypal generate new codes for me?
@Shimon Kay:
I called up customer service and they took care of it. Very good customer service!
Just so you guys are aware, Pay Pal does offer this exact card reader for free.
sorry guys, the deal is now dead. Staples took down that offer page. :((
