Deal Details
Starts from 8/23-8/29

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

In store only.


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.

These seem to be happening almost every week lately. Finding them in store has been more difficult though, I assume based on if you're in a "competitive" area.

Sometimes they have backstock inside of the little kiosk they hang them on. You can ask them to look in it. Then you can see how to check it on your own next time. It's just a hinged door.

Yes. Online gambling will not take credit card as deposit. But some will take DEBIT cards for deposit. I don't know any that will take Visa. But the MasterCard works for several. That's the only difference I found. Other than that, they are the same.

Not true. Used as a debit card, Costco accepts also accepts MC and VISA Just need to punch in the pin for MC (last 4 digits of card) when using in store. For Visa using in store don't need to punch in pin.

For Costco I find it simpler to just load up the shop card online. Can use either, even the digital cards

I use one of the $200 Visa GCs to buy a $200 Costco shop card in-store. Use the Shop card for buying gas, as the GCs won't work at Costco gas pumps.

I've never used the shop card to buy gas before, only the Costco credit card.

So you just scan your membership card, and then swipe the gift card?

Costco credit card gets you 5% back on gas at Costco (no 2% back for executive membership).

Using Prepaid Visa gets you 5% back (also no 2% executive member rebate), so what's the advantage of using the Prepaid Visa/Shop Card to pay for gas?

For those who don't have a Costco CC, with the added inconvenience of dealing with partial fill-ups when the gift card balance runs low.

Do Costco gas stations scan membership QR or barcode from Costco app, or need physical membership card?
