If you’re not a MaxPerk member, no worries…head over here to sign up or sign up at your local OfficeMax store or by calling 1-866-MAXPERKS. The MaxPerks program is open to teachers and businesses. However, ANY one is eligible for a MaxPerk’s business membership… you do NOT have to own a business to choose this option (I did verify this fact and was told by customer service that it was completely fine to sign up for a business membership even as a stay-at-home mom). How cool is that?! :)

    can we do these deals even if we did the labels and paper for a dollar deal already?? like, is this a new deal that we can do again, or is this the same deal and if we do it again we wont get the reward this time?? thanks for the answer

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      Yes, these MaxPerks Rewards offers are valid from 7/29-8/4 so you can take advantage of these even if you did the same sort of deal in the last few weeks.

      • maria

        thanks so much!

    • Jamie K

      I had the same question only for Staples – on the paper, can I buy 2 more this week?

  2. 1ferfun

    look for $5 off 3 expo marker coupons at the Expo marker display, wondering if I could use it on the buy 2 get 2 free deal?

    • Char

      Last time they had a deal that excluded in-ad coupon, the cashiers took it no problem. The register also took it now problem.

      • Char

        I meant in-store, not in-ad, sorry

    • Jenny

      I’ll be interested to see if that works. I picked up that coupon last week, too. It says it cannot be combined with any other offer, but hopefully it won’t be a problem–I need 4 sets of dry erase markers for school!

    • 1ferfun

      just got back, used my $5 off 3 expo marker purchase, so paid for one, got 3 free!!1

  3. jrcheeky

    Thank you thank you!!

  4. Christina

    Hi I am new to the max rewards and was wondering if they ever have like the free softwear programs or other items that you can buy with the max rewards and then get a rebate back for it, That is what I do at staples to get my money back. I have bought things the last 2 weeks and dont want to be stuck with over $200 in rewards. Thanks so much

  5. Kelly

    with the maxperks bonus rewards, is it money you get back that you have to use at officemax, or is it like a check back that you can deposit in the bank?

    • Jennifer

      With MaxPerks Bonus Rewards, you get store credit. You do not get a check back that you can deposit in the bank.

  6. rosebudds

    How do you sign up for a business account? I only see options for a regular MaxPerks Rewards and MaxPerks Rewards for Teachers, nothing else for business.

    • Marissa

      when i went in to sign up for an account the cashier gave me a rewards for teachers i told her 3 times i wasn’t a teach and she kept saying “the rewards are way better you get perk after 75$ instead of 500$” i’m not sure what she was talking about but sounded good to me! lol

  7. Marissa

    my ad is for FREE crayons ruler and sharpener! 🙂 LOVE these back to school deals!

    • Marissa

      and can’t wait to get the backpack deal!

  8. Kathy

    I just got out of bed in order to see if the backpack deal was live yet. It is!! Just ordered my kids their backpacks for school. They had both of their first picks and I used last quarters money!! Nothing out of pockets and great quality backpacks. I was worried because the weekly ad said in-store only, but it was available online. Thanks for the heads up. I was also able to get the batteries to stock up before Christmas. Good Luck to everyone trying to get this deal

  9. Melissa

    Can you use max perks to purchase another item which you will get max perks for?

    • momdkk

      I would like to know that as well. Thanks

  10. kim

    can I use the max perks right away? Like the $60 from the backpack and use it to buy the office chair? the backpack deal is amazing…easy to get to free shipping!

  11. moon

    alot of bags are now “backordered.”
    crossing my fingers hoping my order will go through!

  12. kim

    nevermind..it says will be available in september in the fine print! hope I can spend that much money in 3 months!

  13. milliy

    Officemax beats Staples this week! =)

  14. Jenn

    I was hoping to find back packs with characters on it but I don’t see any. 🙁 Oh well! Great deal for others!

    • Mary

      I found a few character backpacks in the store. They had Spongebob and Dora. I purchased a Dora backpack for my granddaughter.

  15. Alli

    We only have free folders 🙁

  16. Vans

    Can’t find/see the Expo marker coupon, Collin???

    • Mary

      Found the Expo marker coupon under the heading with the Eraser Smarts box that said play now. I guess depending on your settings with your cookies you may be able to play the game. I just got a message and about halfway down the screen there was a link to click on for the coupon. Hope that helps.

  17. Tracey

    Can you use your maxperks award to pay for a deal with maxperks and get the new maxperks?

  18. Mary

    I was just into my local Office Max store and got 2 backpacks and 4 Expo dry erase markers. Used the $5.00 Office Max store coupon when you buy 3 packs of Expo Markers and 2 mfg Expo marker coupons. Great deal. Rolled about $52.00 of max perks rewards and had a few gift cards for the markers and paid .06 oop.

  19. Stepheny

    Can you still use your max perk rewards to purchase gift cards for other places?

  20. MArissa

    where is the 5$ off expo marker coupon? thanks in advance!

  21. Marissa

    CLIPBOARD question. Anyone know where i can get CHEAP clipboards to turn into a chalkboard for kids craft at my family reunion coming up?
