Conclusion
Remember that Mastercard gift cards are more of a pain to deal with than Visa gift cards. They also have more fraud issues. Be sure you have a way to liquidate them before purchasing.
Also be sure to use a card with the 10% Amex offer, the $5 off Amex offer, or a card that earns bonus points on office stores.

I bought 5. All are drained and have fraud alerts on cards. The prepaid call center said I have to work with Staples to get them returned.
Are you sure they were drained? I guess they come unactivated and a separate activation code is sent out a day or two later in the mail.
Yes. They would not activate online. And when I called I was told there is a fraud alert on the card.
I tried a few times and it errors out every time. I was trying through the chase portal. Not sure if it even matters going through there, being that it’s a gift card.
Actually, these cards come with an activation code mailed separately, so even if you don’t have a use right away you don’t have to worry about fraud.
