Deal Details
Starts from 9/20-9/26

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.

I really want to know how you get the heads up for these? They are never in the ad when you post. You always post that it was, but that they then removed it.
Your screencaps have the dates blurred because they are not current dates. So, I don't believe it ever was on their site's ad, then removed.

I would guess some sort of insider information. Just fess up. Big Grin

How do you offload these?
Using them as payment anywhere seems to be a pain

Can you use them to purchase gift cards at places? And if so, where would you that you can't get a higher CB just using a cc?

Think! ("Using...seems to be a pain." 🙄 Simply use to buy food, where you will get little for $200. 😡 Register in pseudonym name for subscriptions (VPNs). Payment of utility bill that is in another persons name who no longer is at residence (internet provider, utility, etc.) One can register these in any name and any address. 😎 Many anonymous and easy ways to use. 🧐

Perhaps people should wake up and stop participating in the stupidest game ever invented!!!
A game in which THEY want to perpetuate!!! Stop being tracked, data mined and feeding the parasitic Corps (Visa, MC, Disc.).
F them! 🤬

Go the website to register the GC. Need to pick a pin. Then you can use them at costco where you will need to put the pin in.

These deals are best for those with the 5% CB category bonus for Office Supply stores. (Chase INK - Limit $15,000 spend per year for the fee-free INK).

You are giving up earning any credit card CB when spending them, though. So you are still going to be about 3-4% up, net, based on having only 1-2% CB with your normal CCs.

I do not advise stockpiling them without a fast liquidation use in mind.

My top favorite (large purchase) methods now to spend these are on property taxes and our insurance renewal bills. But as already stated, there are many ways to spend them. Just not as many ways to spend a large amount quickly.

I've never had to establish a PIN for these prepaid visas when using them at Costco. I simply swipe, press the green button, and it registers as a credit card payment.

I like to register for pin and use pin to purchase. Merchants have to pay less fee for pin purchase and I'd prefer save Costco's money than give Blackhawk extra swipe fee.

You can get a pin, but do not need to establish a pin for using as "credit". You can just treat is as a credit purchase, if the terminal asks you.
I do get a pin for purchases which save me fees by using as Debit..

You can always use the default pin, which is the last 4 digits of the card number.

Doesn't city charge 2-3% fee for using these cards to pay property tax?

Fees vary. Whatever mine was, it was not that high. IIRC, under 2%

It was still a profitable %, and for $4k+ of spending.
