Buy $300 in Visa Gift cards, Get a $20 rebate @ Staples 1/14 - 1/20

+8 Deal Score
13,090 Views
From Page 14 of the staples ad for 1/14 - 1/20, Buy $300 of Visa Gift Cards, get a $20 visa gift card after easy rebate. This offer is in store only and limit 1 rebate per address.

Obviously, this deal is best served if you buy two $200 cards and use a chase ink card because you will pay 206.95 x 2 = $413.90 and get $20 back = $6.10 MM plus earn 2069 Chase Ultimate Rewards Points.

The activation fee is $6.95 for the $200 card and might be the same or a dollar less for the $100 card.

I just don't get why anyone would pay more than face value for a gift card...

Seems like the OP just made a case for one scenario.

I was wondering why my Staples store never has the $200 GCs in stock. Any ideas?

$30 ink problem...

Somewhat off topic, but I did not receive my ink rewards this month, and I looked back and realized I wasn't fully credited for my $30 recycling in December. I contacted the rewards department about it, and she said it was a known problem that Staples was looking into. She did give me a credit, but if others are having this problem you may wish to wait and see if it resolves itself. I'm not sure if I'm going to get double credit by calling though.

Do they have single $300 card? I may be tempted to get single $300 since that means I get $13 MM, but if I have to get 2 $200 card, then $6.10 is not worth the time to get it.

by the way, how soon do I get the $20 visa gift card?

There are no $300 so it is not worth your time.

Newbie here, having not taking advantage of my 5x UR points (yet). Can someone please briefly explain how this part of it works:

"$20 visa gift card after easy rebate."

Do I need to be some kind of rewards member, or have some kind of coupon with be at time of purchase? It do O just go and buy and the receipt generates whatever code I need?

Much appreciated.

No coupon needed. Just buy $300 or more using your card (use apple pay or equivalant) and you'll get a rebate receipt printed at the register. There is a code on the bottom of the receipt that you can put when you go to www.stapleseasyrebates.com [stapleseasyrebates.com] and you just have to put in your address and email and phone number and that's it. I would recommend doing the rebate part at the end of the day or next day so the rebate items are registered with the system. That's pretty much it and you will receive a $20 visa gift card in the mail about 8-11 weeks later (it's usually much closer to 8 or lower)

Do you have the Chase Ink + or Cash card? If you have the Chase Ink Preferred, you will not get 5x UR points at Staples.

Ink preferred or ink cash will get you the 5x UR points. Also chase freedom in conjunction with mobile wallet (Apple Pay, Samsung Pay) has 5x this quarter.
