Wait a second. Staples adds taxes to PS+ Memberships? Does Playstationstore do that? If not, then we're only looking at a $5 savings. Less then that actually because I had to buy and eraser as filler just to get it to the $100 mark. I'm saving $3.96 per year. Only having to buy the second year just to use a coupon.

Thanks, but I've tried this already. It just takes me to the Welcome to Staples homepage.
I was sent a code through PM, and used it, but it didn't work when I checked out.
I guess I'm shit outta' luck. Oh well. This is why I hate shopping online and just go to stores.

Thanks for the link Maddog. Bought 2 $50 psn cards for $80. Pretty great deal!

did you type in the captcha code after you entered in your code? I forgot to enter it the first time I checked out so it didn't work so I tried again, after noticing the captcha code and it worked.

I believe so, yeah.

Nah. You don't actually get charged the tax. They do list it when you put the transaction through though.

One last try: Does anyone have an extra code they could PM me? I guess I'll try it again.
Getting a new wave of nostalgia.
I'll still buy games... I just won't buy as many.
I remember those days. Most blame got put on it due to be cartridges, production and chips.
FFIII, Chrono Trigger, such games easily cost me near 120 in the day tax and all.
I wonder if the title should be Canada Gaming and Discussion: We need our pennies back.
They don't. It's only on the checkout. When you received your order #, you won't see any taxes on it.
The Elite
BOSS
They don't. It shows up when you go to process the transaction but the confirmation you receive via email shows they aren't charging it.
I double checked on my CC and it showed that they did not charge me the tax.

So $5 off 1 year of PS+? And you have to buy 2 to get the deal with the coupon.
This is hardly worth it IMO.
Thanks, can confirm no tax. Had me worried for a sec. Should be set for PSN purchases for a while.

They don't seem to charge tax if you order two $50 PSN cards. But maybe that's where I went wrong.
You can get it for $40 each or a total of $80 by using this coupon. If you don't want to add any filler, just buy the PSN card and buy the sub through PS store.
Would you mind PMing me all the specific details including dates?
I'll see what I can help move things along via MVP channels.

Ah ok so first go here and get your code...
http://smartcanucks.ca/staples-canada-coupon-save-20-when-you-spend-100-online-or-in-store/
Buy 2 $50 network cards to avoid the filler...
http://www.staples.ca/en/PlayStatio...-10&siteID=je6NUbpObpQ-l9XTDJoDD5YiNR4TAi5d2Q
Ignore the shipping and taxes that shows up (even after the purchase has been completed).
Then go to the PS store and buy your yearly subscriptions to PSN.
Got it! Now are they actually mailing these cards out or are they sending out codes to redeem them?
EDIT: Added the link to the download codes instead of the snail mail card.

The one you linked is for mail. They have a separate one for download code http://www.staples.ca/en/PlayStationNetwork-50-Electronic-Code/product_1622252_2-CA_1_20001

Oh crap! Not sure which one I purchased. Did the download code get email right away?
EDIT: Welp...can confirm. I'll be getting some snail mail in. Dammit!
Now watch the subscription price go up while I'm waiting for the cards to arrive in the mail.
I purchased the PS+ download code and I didn't receive the code yet. It says 24 hours. It's up to you if you want the mail or email.

Found out why the code generator didn't work. It was my browser.
But what's up with this?
Merchandise Total : $100.00
Coupons/Rewards : -$20.00
Shipping: Free
Estimated GST (or HST): $10.40
Total : $90.40
EDIT: Okay, I saw the email said $80.00
Thanks, guys

Got a couple PSN cards, showed tax on checkout but showing up as $80 on the invoice.
Delivery on the digital codes is apparently tomorrow.

Thanks,
I will send you the details later today. Though I may not bother at this point. I researched a few more fixes for the disc eject issue and a couple of them seem to solve the issue without much fuss.
It's still frustrating that I paid into a service that I didn't qualify for. A simple date gate would have saved me $45.
Check your email after, it should say $80.
Butts, same here. I'm using it for something that won't be out for a little while, so it's not the end of the world.

I almost did, too, and would have if it wasn't for the link in this thread. (Thanks again)
Honestly, though: snail mail cards would've been okay. But I likely would've just opted to pick them up in town. I just hate the unknown, waiting for delivery, worrying about things getting lost or not arriving.
How long does it take to get the email with the codes?
Airmiles was a nice bonus!
Edit: Had to check to see when my Plus expired. I had tons of free Plus time from all the Sony Events/Conventions I've went to plus I bought 2 when they had that $30 black Friday sale a couple years ago. I still have a year left. Guess I'll do one year of plus and leave $50 in there for future purchases.
Weird, I held out because it showed taxes but I can confirm that it shows up as $80 when I click on 'My Orders' after I placed the order.

I'm tempted to place another order, but I likely won't.
So bummed I missed the Pokemon R/B n3DS bundle on Amazon. Too busy at work right now to be F5ing on Amazon during working hours.
You'll have to come to a meetup and beat me up and steal mine.

Hey, a deal!
Thanks, got 2x$50 PSN cards for $80. Was a bit worried about that shipping charge but it wasn't there in the confirmation email.
Any idea how long it'll take to get the codes?

If it's still processing then talk to chat. I initially bought $50 and PS+ and some pencil lead to go over $100, then realized I'm an idiot and could just buy PS+ from PSN at the same price using the credit, not to mention the waste of shipping pencil lead. So I talked to someone and switched over to just two $50 cards. It was quick and easy.
Thanks to those who posted the deals.
Thanks for the tip!
Already used the coupon when I bought a Microsoft Band a few weeks ago so I had to create a new account.
Also tried to stack different coupons but since I'm at work I didn't waste more than 5 minutes on that.
Not as good as the 30$ deal a few years ago but still good enough.

Just went to check my order number to see if it was still processing and it lists my order as CANCELLED!
WTF.
I didn't receive an email reflecting this.
Check your preorders!
Even the notebook I ordered with it is cancelled.

Mine is still listed as processing. I'll post here if that happens to change or if I happen to get the codes.
Has anyone received codes yet?

They definitely charged my card as well.

Dang, that's messed up. Mine is still processing.
Hopefully it's an error and they don't start cancelling everyone's orders.
Talk to chat!

Well, they did tell me they don't accept coupons for cards.
There's a limit on one coupon order per home, right?

Did they? Seems like they don't know what the deal is. I spoke to someone to change my order and had no issues, coupon is still applied. For now at least.

My coupon didn't go through, and I had to pay full price. I got the order cancelled, then asked support because I tried to use it again and it didn't go through so I wanted them to override it. The lady said, "Sorry, we don't allow codes for cards."
So I bought the shipping one because I did not read the thread properly. Just now I called them and switched it to Email. Couple of you who bought the shipping one might want to try that.
The person I was talking to cancelled my old order. I then asked about the coupon and she said that she can give me credit for my next purchase. I ordered the Email PSN card and then gave her the order number, at which point she applied $20 credit to new order.
