How do Staples coupons and rebates contribute to the Staples price?

When calculating a price match, we’ll deduct any available Staples coupons, Staples Rebates (instant, easy or mail–in) and manufacturer rebates from the Staples price to arrive at a net price. For example, if you buy an item from us for $100 and we offer a $20 instant rebate, the net price is $80. If another company’s price is $80 or more, we will not match the price. Another example: if you buy an item from us for $159 and you have a $30 coupon, the net price is $129. If another company’s price is $125, your price match would be $4. Will Staples match another company’s price when combined with an instant rebate, mail–in rebate, gift check or gift card,or free or discounted item? We’ll match another company’s final price after deducting an instant rebate. If another company offers a product that comes with a mail–in rebate, gift check, gift card or an equivalent, we will only match the price you pay at the point of purchase and will not take the mail–in rebate, gift check, gift card ...  more
