Update 10/13/24: This Visa gift card deal at Staples goes live today.
The Deal
- Buy $200 Visa gift cards at Staples with no purchase fee.
- Direct link to weekly ad.
Key Terms
- Offer valid October 13-26, 2024.
- Limit 9 per customer per day.
- Offer valid in-store only.
Tips & Ideas
Note that this deal goes live on Sunday, so I’ll republish it then. Also note that this deal will be around for two weeks rather than one like normal.
If you buy 9 of these $200 Visa gift cards and pay with a Chase Ink Plus or Ink Cash card, you’ll earn 9,000 Ultimate Rewards points seeing as those cards earn five points per dollar at office supply stores. That’s a fantastic return and makes it well worth the visit if you can liquidate them easily.
Pay with a Chase Ink Cash or Ink Plus card to earn 5x, or with an Amex Business Gold to take advantage of the $20 monthly credit for office supply stores.

I had no problem in Roanoke the other week.
I go to Publix supermarkets to get the stocks of $200 visa gift cards, every time Staples has this same offer which is overwhelming
Publix runs the same promo? Never seen it before!
No, he is saying he goes in to Publix and takes a few gift cards and brings them over to Staples and buys them there. As long as the UPC is the same as the ones Staples sells, it will work.
Oh interesting. So he just takes them when no ody’s looking? Lol. Will it work at Office Depot?
be careful not to get caught doing it. hard to explain to Loss Prevention why you are taking a stack of their GCs off the rack and walking out of the store
cham leung’s post, ten months later, still makes no sense . a joke?
It’s called stealing
Stephen your awesome
I use these deals to use as local spend to collect points.
unfortunately there is no STAPLES where I live. 🙁
Sometimes get OfficeMax but not as often as STAPLES
anybody wanna sell threre cards our where I CAN BUY YOUR CARDS …HAHAHAHA
John
long time no see staples with promotion on michael or lowe’s, wait…
fyi, and to sweeten the pot this time around, Chase INK holders may wish to check their in-boxes to see if they were targeted for this offer: (p2 and I both got it on our Ink Cash accounts this past week)
Announcement: (your name), we’re excited to offer you extra points on your business expenses
Earn up to 15,000 bonus pointsAn offer made for business owners like you. Earn 5,000 bonus points for every $5,000 you spend on business purchases from May 1 through July 31, 2022.
(I presume this is 1 point per dollar, above the normal 5x — and assumes you’d pass the 5k threshold at least once for the current quarter.)
ps, in the fine print, this: “Purchases” do not include balance transfers, cash advances, travelers checks, foreign currency, money orders, wire transfers or similar cash-like transactions….” (gc’s ? unlikely, but no guarantee?)
They always say no GCs but chase doesn’t enforce that
whats the CVV2????
Stephen, tried two different Staples in ATL area (both usually good with these offers) and neither had the $200 Visas without fees. Reps at both said they had “the wrong cards”. Cards were normal Blackhawk Visas.
I had the same issue in CA yesterday where the register was not removing the fees on the usual $200 card that is from past Visa offers.
i am not able to register the card
This should work for the $500 VGC’s as well correct?
I wouldn’t have thought so, but perhaps they won’t have coded things correctly on their system which could mean the purchase fee on the $500 cards gets waived.
Where did you see this deal? It’s not in the weekly ad
The deal doesn’t start until Sunday, so you have to select next week’s ad to see it.
It’s not in this weeks flyer. Just wandering if there is a good source for this promotion. Or perhaps someone tried it in-store?
It’s on page 2 of the ad that I looked at online before publishing this
I live just down the road from a Staples. They never have these cards in stock, even if I show up within 2 hours of opening time on the day the deal goes live.
Are the employees pocketing all of these? It doesn’t make sense to keep going by over and over, so I’ve mostly stopped trying.
Is there some better way I should be doing this?
It could be that staff are keeping them for themselves, but it might be worth asking the staff about the cards. There’s a chance they keep them behind the counter to ensure one or two people don’t come in buying all of them.
Alternatively, it might be that the manager is concerned about scammers buying the cards with stolen credit cards and so they pull them from the shelves.
I usually do ask the staff. I’d say about 20% of the time they have them behind the counter. They also occasionally will move them to be in clear view of the cash register, but I check all those places before I ask.
US Bank closed my credit card for buying these Visa gift cards. Which other credit card issuers also do that?
