Deal Details
Starts from 7/26-8/1

Note: Staples removed the picture from their local/digital ad showing the fee waived. Once live, posting will be updated accordingly.

- 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

It doesn't look like it. fine print says the funds don't expire.

Try taking the un-activated cards from supermarkets and other retailors. Bring them to the Staples store and buy it. I did that when I was in NYC and every Staples I went to were OOS with $200 Visa and MC prepaid.

Because they have 899 other stores to sell from. Not just yours.

(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 that 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.

I don't have a specific cashback for car insurance and they take credit cards or debit cards as payment. I do have a 5x cashback on Office Supply stores that happen to sell these debit cards with no purchase fee. With the gift cards purchased using the above credit card, I essentially get 5x cashback on categories that I often don't get any more than 1x cashback on. You're going to spend the money anyways, might as well more cashback/points out of it.
