(EXPIRED) Staples: Fee-Free $200 Visa Gift Cards (1/13/19-1/19/19)

The Deal

• Buy $200 Visa gift cards from Staples with no activation fee.

Key Terms

• Offer valid January 13, 2019 to January 19, 2019.
• Limit 1 per customer.

Tips & Ideas

The $200 Visa gift cards usually have a $6.95 activation fee, so this deal will give an instant discount of that fee.

The limit of 1 per customer is inconvenient, but it’s possible to buy more so long as you have a friendly cashier, by visiting more than one store or stopping by a Staples on several days. It’d be best to only provide your Staples Rewards number once – or not at all – to ensure associating your account with more than one transaction doesn’t enforce the limit.

This deal is best maximized by paying with a card that earns more at office supply stores like the Chase Ink Plus (no longer available) or Ink Cash. Each purchase will earn 1,000 Ultimate Rewards or $10 cashback depending on which of those cards you own.

These deals tend to be popular and so the $200 Visa gift cards sometimes go out of stock quickly. If you’re interested in this deal, try to visit your local store early on Sunday when the deal starts.
