At Staples - No Purchase Fee when you buy a $200 Mastercard Gift Card In Store Only (a $7.95 value) - Starts from 7/19/26-7/25/26 - Limit 9 per customer per day


In store only.

Starts from 7/19/26.

Note: Staples removed the picture from their local ad showing the fee waived. Once live, and if available this posting will be updated.

FAQ's:
- No, you cannot use Staples GC's to purchase these.
- No, these do not count towards your spend requirements for a premier membership.
- No, these do not earn you any Staples rewards.
- No, you cannot use coupons/ rewards to purchase these GC's.
- 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
- Why is this a deal? Some members have CC's that earn 5% CB at office supply stores (INK and Amex Simply Cash). Others need to meet minimum CC spend.
- What if my store doesn't accept payment with a CC? Your store likely has had issues with fraud and it is managers discretion on what payment they will accept.
- Other chase cards may have special offers for Staples ($ limited). Check your chase account under chase offers.

You can use these at Costco in-club. PIN is the last 4. The kiosk attendant will come up to you every time to mention MC is not accepted. False - MasterCard DEBIT is accepted. Tell them you are a well-trained Costco cashier.

I did not know the pin is the last 4 of the card. Can it be used online?

(1) You cannot use a credit card to pay for your credit card bills. But some credit card companies will accept DEBIT card payments. Combined with (5) you have a credit card that pays 5% cash back on everything plus whatever the cash back the credit card offers.
(2) You cannot use a credit card to make a deposit on online gambling, But some online gambling will accept DEBIT card payments (MC works better than Visa though)
(3) Some merchants that charge credit card surcharges will not with these because these are DEBIT cards.
(4) This is by far the most powerful of all. You can cause overcharge with these if you know how to do it. I've been doing this for decades and here is the receipt from over 10 years ago: https://slickdeals.net/e/7661982-ultra-dvi-d-24-pin-dual-link-ext-male-female-25ft-far-ultra-100ft-rg58-u-male-to-male-bnc-coaxial-video-cable-far-inveo-3ft-micro-hdmi-cable-1-97-ar-shoprunner-tigerdirect?v=1&page=3&src=&prop=&attrsrc=&peid=93e63e8a-8b4b-44e8-b417-425c012bda29
(5) If you have Chase Ink, you're getting 5% cash back from Staples.
Can you share what zip code do you enter for Debit card CC bill payment.

Credit card companies that accept DEBIT card payments don't ask for zip code. I don't bother registering the card when I'm going to use it on the same day.

The overcharging trick has been working forever. The last time I told someone how it works, the person broke his promise by posting it in public. You'd think people would just quietly use this trick, but there are always people who would ruin things for the rest of us. If it happens in SD, the SD effect would definitely kill this trick as Visa, MC, and AmEx would fix the loopholes in the prepaid card they sell. All I can say is you won't be able to profit a penny from overcharging the card, only the merchant will profit from it (only exception below which no longer exists).I started a "club" with the like minded people from SD and the people who got cheated on the TigerDirect Rebate prepaid cards. Most of them just wanted revenge. We did discover new tricks and shared it among ourselves. One of the trick was overcharging the card at the gas stations to get dirt cheap gas. I was against it because the gas station lost money, not Visa/MC/AmEx. The same year all the gas stations changed the way they process prepaid cards.Right now there are only a handful of people using this trick and the losses for the credit card companies are probably a few grand every year which is nothing for them. I took a lot of heat from other members last time. I don't think I want to take that risk again.
Two wrongs don't make a right. You should stop doing that
