Unable to rebate

I bought this at the register thinking what a great deal a rebate of $3.00 off. I was unable to submit through the web site . It kept saying it could not find the offer. I will be very wary of staples adds / rebates from now on!
Quality paper at a great price. I have used all the other brands and I always return to the Staples brand. It really is multipurpose I use it for my own personal needs as well as the needs of my classroom. When I purchase items for my classroom I make sure to have at least 6 TO 8 reams to start the year with. Couldn't ask for a better quality paper.
The paper seems to jam easily and unfortunately several of the reems are damaged in the case which could be why the paper is jaming the in printer. Although those pages appear to be fine. I should have brought the case back but already threw the box away and stored the paper. Didn't notice the damaged pages until the paper started jaming and opened the second reem.
When used in an un-airconditioned environment I've noticed a lot more curling of this paper than other brands. I have to stand by the printer and periodically take out large print jobs or they will get dumped on the floor. This problem is far less in my other air-conditioned location but it still curls more than other papers. Also as this is 92 bright versus the usual 96 a noticeably different appearance. Important factor if you are doing a mixed size printing and your letter size paper is the usual 96 bright. On the positive side I've gone through at least two cases of this and never had any jamming problems wrinkled pages etc. Next time around I will upgrade to Staples multipurpose (Sku 562789).
this case of Staples Multipurpose paper is a great deal when it's on sale standard brightness and thickness and works perfect excellent quality reproduction.
