Does anyone know how strict Staples rebates are in regards to their bit about limiting the rebate to one person/address/household?

My parents were up visiting a couple days ago, and I made a stop at Staples among other places to grab the photo paper and usb drive that are on sale for cheap after rebate. My parents also picked up the printer and photo paper because they needed some and the price was cheap. They are going to be submitting to a different address in a different city, but I just wanted to see if anyone has had any experience with buying stuff at the same store and having the same last name but different addresses, if that can get the rebate kicked back.

An store can have more than one Jones, there is John, Mary, Ed, Steve Etc.....
Even John Jr.....Sr, II III, IV


The key is the address, not the name.

Some people play the 'imaginary Apartment game' but that doesn't always work.


how many Smiths, Jones, Wongs, Lees, Johnsons etc do Staples rebates?


Do it all the time. Two or three separate purchases. One for me, one for sis, one for parents

I have been rejected for same name and different addresses.

I do too.
I know the accts aren't connected but I still don't use my Rewards card when purchasing for others for Staples rebates.

This seems to indicate that either the databases are connected or at least the order database is able to query the rebate submission database.

I've never heard of them invalidating a rebate as a result of this connection. I figure if they're too lazy to compare which accounts are using coupons VS which accounts the coupons are actually issued to then them connecting reward/rebate accounts is a very remote possibility!
