Update: Annie has pointed out in the comments below that there’s a handful of gift cards available here. Most of these are physical gift cards which look like they’re processed by Office Depot and so should, in theory, work with this Amex Offer.
There are a few potential issues though. Office Depot seems to be charging tax which could eat up a good chunk of the statement credit from the Amex Offer depending on which state you live in. I’d also posted about the digital Visa gift cards in the past but a reader said that their order got cancelled by Office Depot. I’m therefore not sure if they’d process standalone gift card orders or if these cards are cards listed on there for various promos (e.g. spend $250 on a desk & get $25 Uber gift card free) but which can’t be bought outside of those promos.
There’s a new Office Depot Amex Offer out today giving $15 back when spending $100. Unfortunately it can’t be used to buy gift cards.
The terms state that it’s only valid for online purchases from OfficeDepot.com. While Office Depot does have an online gift card portal hosted on their website, payment is processed by Blackhawk Network and so it doesn’t show up as an Office Depot purchase. As a result, buying a gift card from there won’t trigger the statement credit, nor will buying one in-store work seeing as it’s an online-only deal.
what about these gift cards i found by searching gift card directly from the website that shows your choice treats & eats gift card $15, $25 gas card, uber card $25, not alot of choice but it doesnt look like will be charged from a third party
Interesting – yes, that should work in theory. It looks like the cards are having tax charged though which will eat up much of the discount.
correct, you cannot buy these standalone. Your order will get cancelled.
Source: personal experience trying it.
Looks like I can buy physical Office Depots but with sales tax.
Has anyone tried this with the uber gift cards?
