Staples (Online Only) $100 Mastercard Gift Card, activation fees waived - limit 3

$100.00
$106.95

Staples.com has $100 Mastercard Gift Card for $100; the activation fee is waived ($6.95)

NOTE: you will receive an activation letter, that is mailed separately from the MCGC's, as a security measure. WAIT to activate the cards until you receive the letter; trying to activate the cards 'early' w/o the activation letter will cause a 'block' on the cards -- to remove the block, call MC customer service AFTER activating them.

Also the Giftcardmall VRU in the number to call (provided in activation letter) sucks. Press option #2 to speak w/ GCM/Blackhawk customer service rep. They can help activate your cards w/ your order number.

Gentle reminder, the monthly $15K GCM limit applies

stacks nicely w/ the 10% off AmEx offer

NO you CANNOT buy these with a Staples gift card; and NO these do not count towards Staples Premiere spend (else we'd be buying GC's instead of FAR paper, which sadly died)
If you purchase something through a post on our site, Slickdeals may get a small share of the sale.

What's the best way to liquidate these MC gcs? I found Visa gcs super easy to load on amex green serve or gobank. Heard it's not the same with these. Anyone? Also theft is an issue with MC ??

These are pretty secure compared to the ones sold in stores. Activation process is similar to the $300 VGCs sold.


Organic spend, paying bills online. Wallyworld - try the workaround trick; but PITA unless you have MS friendly CSR.

None recently. The airlines portals will sometimes show earned miles, but they always get clawed back.

Yes. As a matter of fact they'll send someone to your house to polish your doorknob if you buy enough.

Read the farkING wiki.
