I always like looking for free deals and who does not really? The process does involve getting an online coupon and printing it and you do have to pay the balance at the store because the remainder of your refund is handled as a Staple's Easy Rebate. The Easy Rebate process is actually very simply and accurate thus far for me and I have used it several times. The real key is to get and keep your paperwork and follow the directions to the letter. There is a delay in getting the rebate due to processing time but that is the price for the free paper. Rebates come in the form of prepaid VISA cards and can be used anywwhere. The paper itself is not beautiful it is utilitarian but it is clean does not jam and the price is right...
This paper is good for general everyday printing and I would recommend it to others. It is not a super bright white but when it is offered for free with coupon savings and an easy rebate this is obviously a great deal. It would be better however if the reams came packaged in a box because when they are carried or handled in the current plastic wrapping the sides and edges of the reams get damaged too easily and then it is a problem using them without the wrinkled paper jamming up in printers and copiers.
