They had it for a couple weeks this season.
For example, I've attached a screenshot of the top part of the weekly ad. There's a noticeable space between tiles (if I click on that empty space, a dotted line box appears, but nothing else happens), so if Staples is removing this promo from my view, perhaps it's there. Months ago, when Staples switched to the new format (for weekly ads), it was easy to identify the prepaid Visa and MC promos, but not anymore (for me).
Any thoughts, anyone? Even if I use an incognito browser window, I still get the same results.
*edit* Today (Tuesday), I received a Staples email that shows me the prepaid Visa deal (with an email account not associated with my Staples account), so at least I can see it. Still can't see it on the Weekly Ad pages.
Sorry for bothering you, but any chance you (or anyone else watching this thread) can include a screenshot? Not just of the prepaid Visa promo, but of the areas of the webpage around it? I've been scouring the weekly ad for months (and this latest one for an hour), but I don't see it. I'm trying to figure out if 1) I'm blind, or 2) somehow the Staples website is selectively omitting this promo from my view.

The good news is that they will probably do this with MC gift cards within the next 2 weeks, if they follow their normal pattern.

At first, I thought you were worried that the cash instruments' value aspect might fail for these. But you went another way.
Getting 5% for my free money-like purchase is a good return from Chase Ink. For example, I have property taxes due soon. They take these over the phone.
Boycotting these would be like cutting my nose off to spite my face. Take that, MN!
Oh, wait. You mean I could have gotten hundreds of free dollars for paying for things I have to spend on anyway?
My opinion, but you do you.
I do not hold these long-term. There is direct fraud by thieves trying to scam.
Always inspect and watch for tampering at the point of purchase. Nothing to do with the state of MN.
They have upped their security on these. They're a pain to open now. The account number is partially covered, as well as the CVV, with some serious-adhesive backed covering. Not foolproof, but better. There is also a potential for brute force attacks on the account numbers, exp dates, and CVV codes. Some websites do not require your CVV code to make a purchase. Insane.

There are others who just post as soon as they see it like everyone will miss the Visa cards sell if they do not buy it in middle of the night.
I will continue to post these..
