My local Staples also doesn't let customers buy VISA gift cards with credit cards? Did I just get a overstepping cashier or has anyone else had a similar experience?

Also for those with Chase credit cards, check your offers. I received a 25% cash back offer for staples purchases on one of my cards.

I really don't understand the point of giving Visa gift cards, or any gift cards of the sort. Wouldn't you rather get cash over this, if someone were to give you such gift?

I know "money" is considered to be taboo in some cultures, but man, gift card is so annoying. It is difficult to use the entire amount with no change, sometime fee is involved, sometime stupid hold stays in forever, if cashier makes a mistake, it take times to resolve the issue, and so on and on..

Well, at least, now days you can just load the entire amount to Amazon..

Can't we just give a thoughtful letters with cash in it? Idk, maybe I am too efficiency-oriented..

Oh I get it.. you can combine this deal with amex 10% cashback that expires in a few days.. but still, gift cards are pretty annoying to use.

If someone wants to give me free $200 I don't really care what format it is in. Most likely cash would go in the drawer for rare time I need cash.

That being said most SDers are buying these to get the cash/points back since it's a moneymaker.

I just use balances at the grocery store at self check out super easy. I like these deals because I get 5% back through Chase on things I'd only get 1.5% back otherwise. Maybe a hassle a bit but it's worth it to me.

Could be an overzealous cashier or a store that has experienced a lot of people committing credit card fraud. Ultimately it is up the the manager's discretion.

I concur with your post. However, I do not have credit cards anymore. I use Visa GCs at Costco which helps me stay on budget and not overspend!

Agree, but some people think that giving cash is "tacky" and that it shows a little more "thought" and sincerity giving gift cards instead. Seems like an artificial distinction to me.
