This $199.05 price point is a little better than the usual $200 price on the "fee-free" $200 Visa virtual gift cards, but the same cart subtotal rule is in effect where the $1,000 maximum of gift cards in a single transactions is applied towards the subtotal before all discounts. As such, if you throw five of these into your cart, Staples will claim that this is over $1,000 of gift cards and ask you to remove at least one in order to go under the limit and process your order.
Staples processes their own gift card orders, so paying with a credit card that earns well at office supply stores will give you the expected rewards off of this, but you won't earn any Staples store rewards.

Not true for my municipal water/sewer/garbage fees.

No ... Just for amex office supplies 5% cash back card.
It counts as staples.com online purchase for BCE for 3% online cashback. I don't have 5% cashback card, so I use that.

When you don't know how to utilize a deal, it doesn't mean it is not a good deal. Heard of manufacture spending?

What's the point of these, to wash money or something?

Sorry chief but nobody is going through all this trouble to save 95 cents, and in no universe would this be considered a "slick deal". No offense but I had no choice but to thumb down your thread - do better.

Chase ink gets 5% cash back, those with chase reserve turn that into 7%+ in travel. I literally go on vacations using chase points.

Limited used with this since you can't swipe the card in store. But since some of my credit cards will take DEBIT cards as payment, it won't matter much. Having Chase Ink means that everything gets 5% cash back when I use the credit cards that will accept DEBIT card payments.

That is your municipal water/sewer/garbage fees processor blocking them as opposed to Blackhawk blocking the charge.

Works fine for my municipal water/sewer/garbage fees / property taxes / electric bill.

Careful purchasing these. They don't actually own and under the protection by VISA. It is managed by BlackHawk Network. I bought 2 and the card got hacked and were used. You will need to jump through hoops to prove them that you are the owner by providing the proof of purchase and your government ID. Even so, it will take a few months going back and forward with them. And if it is resolved and you don't use the card right away. The card will get hacked again and you will need to do the same process all over.
A lot of times the hacking of prepaid accounts occurs because someone has access to your e-mail account and is able to access them there. (this sounds more likely, if you had a card that was re-sent by them drained as well)

These are typically safer to purchase than physical cards, as there is no possibility of the cards being altered as there is with physical cards.

Note that these cards are issued by Pathward Financial, and licensed by Visa. Blackhawk is one of the worlds largest issuers of prepaid cards, and processed 35 billion in payments last year.

I'm embarrassed for you... just because you don't understand a deal does not mean it's not good. - do better.
