Make sure you research anything you buy via Office max thru Pampered Perks!!! You may be able to get a better price thru their regular site or in store!
I was looking at a new rolling briefcase the other day in the store. It was $60.00. I was short on time so I thought I would check online thru our pampered perks. Well thru there for office max the exact same briefcase was $76.00!!!!! $16.00 more is no "perk" in my book!
I then decided to go thru the regular office max website out of curiosity. Same briefcase using my Pampered Perks will only cost $63.89. No shipping just tax! since it costs me more in gas to go back to the store this is the best solution for me!

Doing a bit of research can pay off!!!
 
Don't you just LOVE our Pampered Perks!!??!

So thru Office Max PC pampered perks $76.00
Thru Office max using MaxPerks $63.89

So I say "Do your research!!!!"
 
Don't forget you can print the coupon/card and take it to the store and have it scanned at checkout.
 
Paulette,
I was doing my comparison the same way too. I did see any difference myself except for a can of compressed air Office Max website $6.99, our cost $3.99....but that was it. Everything else was either the same price, or our cost was more. Maybe they think we have lots of money since we have our own business :)

I do the same thing with Office Depot. Going in-store or on their website using my "Work Life Rewards" card through them is actually way cheaper than going through Pampered Perks.

here you go... item #04127554. Model #930285 American tourister

I liked this one since it is specifficaly a "wheeled laptop case" it is small enough to cary on and still has lots of options. I looked at it pretty good in the store.
I was looking for something smaller cause the one I have is HUGE and I just put way to much in it. I do take it to shows and it gets heavy! I wanted to be able to have one to travel and specifficaly for conference. I also liked this one because even though it is not leather it has a nice look to it.
