Office Max Retail Connect Card

Office Max and Contracts, Procurement, and Risk Management (CPRM) are pleased to present an Office Max Retail Connect Card. All Cal Poly employees can now take advantage of the CSU special pricing on contracted office supplies (Office Max Enterprise Solutions catalog) by using the retail card at any Office Max retail store. The cards can be used for personal purchases or for state purchases. Personal purchases can only be made at the Office Max Retail Stores. It is important to note that the Retail Connect Card is a discount card, not a credit card. The card is used to identify CSU contracted items and thus passing on the price discount to the Cal Poly employee.
