FAQ's:
- No, you cannot use Staples GC's to purchase these.
- No, these do not count towards your spend requirements for a premier membership.
- No, these do not earn you any Staples rewards.
- No, you cannot use coupons/ rewards to purchase these GC's.
- Yes, you can split payment between multiple cards (if your cashier permits it) YMMV
- The limit of 8 may or may not be enforced depending on your store/ cashier. YMMV
- Why is this a deal? Some members have CC's that earn 5% CB at office supply stores (INK and Amex Simply Cash). Others need to meet minimum CC spend.
- What if my store doesn't accept payment with a CC? Your store likely has had issues with fraud and it is managers discretion on what payment they will accept.
- Other chase cards may have special offers for Staples ($ limited). Check your chase account under chase offers.

I bought two master cards from Staples, and one of them has been hacked in a few hours. I saw it was charged $9.99 twice, and a few hours later, another two $4.99 charges. There is no customer service available for the card. I have to use PayPal to use the rest of the money as soon as possible.

wow that sucks, were the seals broken? When I get these things I help the register guy open them, they are so sealed they messed a credit card coating trying to get them opened.

There's the hologram perf seal, then there's a silver glob over the 3 digit code.

Yes, that's correct: Visa next week.

These prepaid Visas work great at Costco! FYI, they don't work at the Costco Gas station.

Why is Visa preferred?
Are you sure Visa will be available, I don't see it in the flyer.

Costco only accepts Visa for credit card payments in-store.
They will accept other credit card payment processors online though.

Credit card point churning is a big reason; there are some Chase business cards that gets 5 points per dollar spent at office supply stores.

I have to send the information from them to the nice man in Karachi who contacted me about my computer protection plan expiring.

This is a well-known scam. Search for "prepaid card skimming scam" and "prepaid card swapping scam".

Costco accepts Mastercard debit. PIN is last 4 digits of card.

Oh, you're right - never thought of the debit card approach:

This new batch of MC GC's is so cheap I thought they were counterfeits at first. They feel like cardboard. The glue ripped the label off the front of the card.
