I love the EC discount! It's great to go into Office Depot or Staples and get the item you are buying for several dollars cheaper than the shelf price. Sometimes the cashiers do a doubletake because you do have to swipe your credit card twice. Once the card has been swiped, the register identifies it as being connected with the EC Purchasing program and it recalculates your total. Then you must swipe again.
I also signed up for the FedEx discount. While it's not much discount for ground packages, which is usually what I send on a personal level, the discount is significant for o/n packages if you ever need that service. I tried to sign up fpr the UPS discount but they keep deactivating my account due to non-use (except to order supplies) so I just ship all my personal packages via FedEx.
I don't buy toner with the EC discount because I buy remanufactured cartridges from LD products or Monoprice.com. The discount on genuine HP cartridges is not significant enough on the EC program to make me switch back to using genuine cartridges. |
