Staples is offering 100% back in Easy Rewards points on all luggage and travel accessories — but only today, October 13. Buy a $150 suitcase, get $150 in points back. It's the single most generous points-back offer in the retailer's two-week Easy Deal Days event, and it expires at the end of the day.
The catch is in the fine print: the bonus is capped at $150 in points, it's exclusive to free Easy Rewards members, you must activate the offer in your rewards dashboard before checkout, and the points come back as Staples credit for future purchases — not cash. Still, for anyone who needs a new bag anyway, this is effectively buy-one-get-one on luggage.
Exact offer and eligibility
Per the live offer terms (Staples offer 597562):
- 100% back in Easy Rewards points on all luggage and travel accessories
- Valid today only: October 13, 2026 — in store and online at Staples.com
- Cap: up to $150 in points may be earned per member
- Members only: exclusive to Easy Rewards members (free to join)
- Activation required: you must activate the offer in your Easy Rewards dashboard on staples.com or in the Staples app before checkout
- One time per member, nontransferable; cannot be combined with any other Easy Rewards promotion in a single transaction
- Excludes clearance; points are earned on the amount paid after promotions, coupons, and instant savings — taxes and shipping don't count
- Not valid on Instacart, DoorDash, or Uber Eats orders, or prior purchases
- Part of Easy Deal Days, the retailer's October 4–17 savings event
The math: free luggage, up to $150 — as store credit
The arithmetic is simple: spend $150 on eligible luggage and travel accessories today, receive $150 in Easy Rewards points. Net cost of the goods: zero, with $150 in Staples purchasing power banked for later. That's a genuine 100% return, and it beats every other points-back offer in the event (the week-one deals topped out at 50% back on Logitech and shipping supplies).
But three limitations shape the real value. First, the $150 cap means a $300 luggage set only earns $150 back — a 50% return, not 100%. Second, the reward is points, not cash: they can only be spent at Staples, so the value depends on you shopping there again. Third, this is a one-day, one-per-member window; there's no rain check and no extension.
Compared against Staples' normal Easy Rewards earn rate — 1% back on most purchases — today represents a 100x multiplier on the category. Even against the event's other offers, nothing else today touches it.
Who benefits—and who should skip it
This is a clear win for Easy Rewards members who already need luggage, packing cubes, travel organizers, or similar accessories: activate the offer, buy what you planned to buy, get the full price back in points. Small businesses outfitting traveling employees can also stack meaningful value, staying under the $150 cap per member account.
Skip it if you'd be buying luggage you don't need — points locked to Staples are worth less than cash in hand, and a deal on something useless is still a waste. Also skip the temptation to overspend past $150: every dollar above the cap earns nothing extra, and you only get one shot per member account.
Awardtrail analysis
One-day 100%-back offers are rare because the economics are so lopsided — Staples is betting most shoppers won't max it out. Your move is straightforward: activate the offer in your dashboard first, buy what you need today, keep it under $150, and treat the points as a discount on your next Staples run. Don't wait until evening — popular luggage SKUs have a way of selling out on days like this.

Why This Matters for Your Strategy
News in the points-and-miles world moves fast, and promotional changes often have a short window. If this announcement affects a card or program you hold, log into your awardtrail dashboard to check your current benefit usage, bonus progress, and whether a transfer or redemption makes sense right now — before terms change.
As a general rule: transfer points only when you have a specific redemption in mind — transfers are almost always one-way and non-reversible. If you're unsure of the value, check our redemption guides before acting.
