FAQ's:

- No, these do not count towards your spend requirements for a premier membership.
- No, these do not earn you any Staples rewards.

- Yes, you can split payment between multiple cards (if your cashier permits it) YMMV
- The limit of 9 may or may not be enforced depending on your store/ cashier. YMMV

Are you saying it cannot be used for groceries in store?
I've used them in grocery stores plenty of times. Regarding stacking, a lot of times it depends on the POS system on how it works. These can be run as debit also using the last 4 digits as the pin so pretty much anywhere that accepts debit is fair game. I like to use at restaurants also as I know I won't need a refund/return. If there's a chance I'm returning something, I'm not using these as the return process can be a headache (time for credit, which gift card was it). The whole deal here is buying them with the Chase Ink Cash for 5% for office supply purchases. I do $25K a year for each of my cards.

You can. Obviously depends on if the retailer accepts it, but Amazon and other big retailers are fine. You need to go online to register the card and add billing address. The other thing that can make these a pain is having odd amounts left at the end. Say you spend $190 on amazon online. To spend the remaining $10, I usually just spend at a grocery store.

Does it get declined if you spend more at the grocery store than the card has? Or does it use the remainder and prompt for a different payment method?

Mastercard Gift Card is very difficult to use, and not allowing stacking multiple gift card use even when in grocery store or restaurant. Be aware, mastercard gift card is not a GIFT, it is a torture to spend the money in it.
never had a problem in Costco or Sam Club. Just use it as debit card.

You cannot buy lottery tickets with a credit card. But you can buy lottery tickets with these because they are DEBIT cards. Whenever a merchant wants to charge you extra for using a credit card, these would avoid the surcharge.

The most powerful feature is the overcharge. You can cause more than $200 to be charge on the card. You can't do that with a credit card for obvious reasons.

I've never had a problem using these or the Visa cards from Staples when they go on sale. The Staples near me has been out of the Visa cards for the past two rounds of these sales and are now out of the MasterCards as well. They say they don't know if they will get more in. Has anyone else run into this?

"Worked for you online?"

Yes I don't remember ever having a problem online either. The only problem I've ever remember having was with a Mastercard at Costco. I have later heard that if I use it as a debit card there it would have gone through.

(Never did this before) So like if I buy 9 GCs per day in store for 5 days, can I meet $9k of the CC spend?

Yes. Assuming you had multiple locations, one could buy 9 at multiple stores and hit the spend in 1 day.
