Office Depot Visa Gift Card Deal

-1 Deal Score
8,262 Views
Office Depot has in-store Visa Gift Card deal: "Save $15 when you buy $300 or more in Visa Gift Cards."
This deal is good if you have Chase Ink Business Card or just trying to meet your spending limit.

My search for similar deal on Slickdeals didn't turn up.

QA note: in store deal Office Depot store locator [officedepot.com]
Good Deal?

This is slightly better than the Staples no fee visa, but at Staples you can buy $1000 each visit if you need large spending. What does the vip status get you at Office Depot?
Free Shipping on all orders with no minimum (except for some large furniture items).

I have VIP. The only benefit that I take advantage of is I get free shipping with no minimum. The VIP status lasts for 1 calendar year.

Left out special rewards incentives.
example 25% VS 20% back in rewards on purchase promotions.
(a few times they had it for VIP only)

Quote from dodgeball :
Not really a big MM on the front end due to fees for 2-card purchase, but for rewards members the full GC amount does count toward VIP status.
Can someone clarify this line in terms and conditions: Members who spend $500 within a 365-day period shall become a VIP Rewards Member. Items returned, taxes, the value of free gifts with purchase and the redemption of reward certificates and merchandise gift/cards will not contribute to the $500 requirement.

Office Depot chat updated their statement to me:
Yes, You can purchase in store gift cards and Visa credit cards and the value of purchase will count toward my VIP status if you use the payment method as credit card or Paypal.

Thanks!

The discount applied also to two $200 visa gift cards for me, totaling $400.
How much discount did you got on $400? How much is the activation fee per card?

Has anyone purchased these Visa credit cards in store using another Visa gift credit ? They are debit cards right and can be used anywhere?

$6.95 fee for a $200 visa GC. So it sounds like you pay $398.90 for two $200 visa GC's.

Does VGC purchase at Staples go towards Staples Premier status as well?

Thanks. I also didn't know this. In other stores gift cards are excluded from a lot of benefits.

My VIP status will be expiring soon.

Can someone please post link to purchase these online if that is available? Or is it in-store only?

Kind of pointless to use for min spend bonus if your card doesnt give 5X points for office purchases. Just allows you to delay the spend beyond the 3 month time limit. You still have to find a way to spend the money. You also introduce new risk such as losing the card, forgetting to spend them, or being a victim of skimming. Or you can use for MS but that's alot of work if you dont have a system setup already.
