Staples Visa Gift Card Deal
Staples sells a variety of Visa & Mastercard gift cards. Depending on the value (up to $200) the fee to purchase these can cost as much as $6.95. They do often run rebate promos on these cards. This coming week, they are waiving the fees on Visa gift cards which makes this an easy way to rack up Ultimate Rewards!
Updated for new offer 6/13/21
The Offer
- No purchase fee when you buy a $200 Visa® Gift Card
Key Terms
- Valid June 13th – 19th, 2021.
- The Visa Gift Card is issued by MetaBank
- Limit 5 per customer, per store, per day.
Maximizing This Deal
Cards like the Chase Ink Cash, Ink Plus and Amex SimplyCash Plus will all earn 5X/5% back on these purchases. I also assume you may be able to visit multiple stores and/or ask to do multiple transactions despite the terms, but that is obviously YMMV.
Liquidating Visa Gift Card
The Visa gift card is pin-enabled. The PIN number is usually the last four digits of the card number. You can utilize my previous liquidation strategy or simply use it for normal spend.
Conclusion
It’s nice to see Staples bring back these offers around regularly. Hopefully Office Depot follows suite next week or we see another MasterCard gift card offer soon.

Went today and the manager who was just standing around at first went out of his way to wait on me. Esp that there wasn’t even no line. He then asked for the cc I was using to pay with that he held on to with his “Covid” Hands then he asked for my i.d. which he also held on to. I felt I needed to sterilize my stuff after that. I asked what this was for and he said they always do this. I told him this was the first time. He said no it’s always done, I. Said well you have a lot of employees not doing their job. He said that could be so. But just didn’t like this treatment at all! May reach out over him and complain.
Not all that rare around here or the manager will watch the transaction to make sure the cards didn’t have the backs already ripped off etc. They have a lot of fraud issues with these cards so they are just being cautious.
What about Chase and “cash equivalents?” I’m a bit gun shy buying these OBVIOUS cash equivalents. Any data points for INK Biz?
I think if Chase wanted gift cards to be included in the cash advance they would have specified gift cards. even Amex when they write what is not an eligible purchase for bonuses writes ” purchases or reloading of prepaid cards OR purchases of any cash equivalents” clearly showing that gift cards and prepaid cards are separate from cash equivalents.
I have never had an issue with that. They are talking about sending money with your card (PayPal etc.).
It would be nice if the info was correct… no mention of this deal in their ad so I’m assuming that this was just for click bait.
Huh? It is right on the bottom of page 1 in the ad.
Charles this is the second time you have tried to pull this. The sale is going on right now and is in the ad, people have bought tons already today etc. So please stop coming here to troll or you will be IP banned.
No Staples in my major metropolitan area for years now.
That sucks 🙁
