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.
Thanks.
Bought 1, registered and drained it immediately for my duke energy bill just like a physical VGC. Easy process.
Bought 4 more to run through the same process. Didn't hit any caps in checkout with 2 orders totaling 1k thus far.
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?
My staples has been out of fee-free gift cards every time I've gone for a couple months. They get hit pretty hard by the points players I guess. I got some physical today but I'll also pick some up online because tax season is coming bby!
The limit on this deal is 5x $200 gift cards. With the Chase Ink Business card, we can get 5,000 points. It only takes as little as 25,000 points to travel one way to Asia on a ticket class that is about $650 cash price. So, the 5,000 points is worth as much as $130 to me.
I can use these Visa gift cards at Costco, to pay for my kids activities, etc.
There is always a line on Sunday at opening at Staples whenever there's these no activation fee deals on Visa and Mastercard gift cards. Every one of these folks carry the Chase Ink Business card. It's like Pokemon cards, haha.
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.
How do you do this may I ask?
