Update 8/14/20: Apparently the OfficeSupply.com brand is coding as 5% on the Chase Ink Cash, but only 1x on the Chase Ink Plus. It coded as 5x on the Ink Plus recently for me, so be sure to check your statements frequently if you’ll consistently be buying these cards to ensure it still codes the way you expect it to.
Come for the $5 Shop Small Amex Offer statement credits, stay for the 5x earnings on a variety of gift cards.
Fluz has formally announced that the following gift card brands are coding as office supply stores when buying them in the app:
- Office Depot/OfficeMax
- Staples
- Audible
- Walmart Business
- Amazon Business
- OfficeSupply.com
This is great news because it means that you can earn 5x when paying with a Chase Ink Plus or Ink Cash card, or at different earning multiples on other cards that offer bonused spend at office supply stores.
Some of these brands come in and out of stock which usually happens to the more intriguing options like OfficeSupply.com. It can be worth checking the app for availability of these brands though because 5x earnings from the comfort of your couch is a rare opportunity seeing as Staples doesn’t sell gift card brands like Amazon or Walmart on its website. Although Walmart and Amazon are listed as ‘Business’, Amazon Business can be used on Amazon like a regular gift card, while Walmart Business can be used at Walmart and Sam’s Club like a normal gift card too.

Here’s my referral link – I’ll get one voucher for referring you.
Stephen, I am not familiar with Walmart Business or Amazon Business gift cards. Can they be used just like the regular Walmart and Amazon gift cards for consumer purchases or loading onto my Amazon gift card balance? Thanks!
Hi Linda – I don’t know about Walmart but I can confirm that the Amazon Business gift card codes available on Fluz *can* be loaded to regular Amazon accounts.
As Craig said, Amazon Business is just a regular Amazon gift card. Same for Walmart – it’s just a Walmart gift card which can be used at Walmart or Sam’s Club. It would’ve been helpful for me to have mentioned that in the post, so I’ll add that now.
Why?
My Ink Plus coded 5x on 08/12 for OfficeSupply
Thanks for the data point. I wonder if a change was made to the coding on August 13 or 14, or if the data point I’d seen elsewhere was a one-off.
Does Walmart Business and Amazon Business still code as 5x on Ink Cash?
My understanding is that they do.
