Reposting my comment from the last time they had this deal:
The BIN on these cards last time was 451129, but that may have changed over the past couple of months. Staples processes their own gift card purchases, so paying with a card that earns well at office supply stores is the best way to get rewards off of these.
The limit is 5 in theory, but 4 in practice; the fee is present in cart as part of the subtotal before the discount kicks in, and Staples will not sell more than a $1,000 subtotal of gift cards in a single transaction. As such, throwing five $200s into your cart will show a message from Staples asking you to remove items from your cart before you can continue.
Is there a single upside to these that the physical cards don't provide? It seems like the only reason to buy these would be if I don't live close to a Staples/ODOM?

You can keep track of your card via email. Physical cards, you can lose them.

I mean, you can add physical cards to your email too if you wanted to do it that way for some reason? And if you just lose credit cards randomly you probably shouldn't be buying gift cards at all.
I just immediately turn them into Costco Shop cards, which gives me 5x Chase UR points on Costco purchases, eliminates the risk of the cards getting drained, and makes it easy to know they'll work for what I need them for.
I've tried this and Costco.com keeps canceling my purchase 24 hours after I place it
are these the ones that are super hard to spend?
no ability to set zip code?
Those are InComm cards. These appear to be Blackhawk cards. Spend them quickly. Both of these sketchy companies are known for having cards drained shortly after activation.
