Update: Kevin has advised that his orders have since been cancelled, so it seems like Office Depot might be on the lookout for orders with only these gift cards in them. Adding some kind of filler item might help, but perhaps not.

Tips & Ideas
Office Depot has an online gift card portal that’s powered by Blackhawk Network which sells Visa gift cards and a wide range of third party gift cards. Seeing as Blackhawk Network processes payment for those gift cards, you don’t earn 5x on Chase Ink Cash and Ink Plus credit cards, nor does it trigger statement credits from Office Depot Chase Offers.
Reader Kevin has highlighted an interesting opportunity on Office Depot’s main website though. They have some promotions whereby you can spend $xxx and get $20 or $25 virtual Visa gift cards free. Seeing as those cards are for promotions, they don’t charge a purchase fee for them.
What makes it interesting is that you can simply buy these virtual Visa gift cards outright, even without $xxx of corresponding items. Sure, you don’t get them free without those corresponding items, but it means you can buy these virtual cards with no purchase fee.
It gets even more interesting from there. Seeing as they’re being ordered directly from Office Depot, you should earn 5x by paying with an Ink Cash or Ink Plus card.
The interestingness continues. With payment being processed by Office Depot, it should trigger the Office Depot Chase Offer that gives 10% back on up to $80 or $110 spend.
And that’s not all! There’s no guarantee that this final element of stackage will work, but if you click through from a shopping portal I’d guess that you’d have a better than zero chance of it tracking and paying out. Here are the current portal rates for Office Depot.
I wouldn’t be surprised if this deal eventually gets pulled, whether it’s due to so many people taking advantage of the opportunity or because they stop offering $20 and $25 virtual Visa gift card promotions. It’d therefore be best to start getting orders in sooner rather than later.
It’s adding taxes. Strange!
Yup, I’m seeing taxes being added as well.
I can confirm sales taxes added. lol
Are these physical cards that they are going to ship? Or digital cards? If they are digital cards being emailed then you can change the shipping address to one that is in a tax free state.
The $20s show no fees or taxes.
I put an order in on $20s and interestingly it says expected delivery 1/4/2023. Must take a long time to generate an egc code?
placed two orders, all cancelled next morning.
the title says “virtual” GC, but it gives a “shipping” date?
