Our Verdict
Most of these Staples rebate deals on Visa/Mastercard gift cards are in-store only. This particular one does not specify that so let’s hope it works online as well. It will probably be clear on the website come Sunday if it does work.
This particular offer is the as good as they come from Staples:
- It’s for Visa gift cards, not Mastercard (easier to liquidate)
- The rebate is a Visa gift card, not a Staple gift card
- It’s a $20 rebate, not $15
What’s especially interesting is that Staples started carrying $300 Visa gift cards online with an $8.95 fee which can make this offer easier and cheaper. I’m not sure if they have these $300 cards in-store yet.
How to Pay
Typically, these offers are only really worthwhile for someone who has an INK card or Amex SimplyCash. However, with the Discover Apple Pay promo going on, this offer makes sense for anyone with a Discover card as well since Staples accepts Apple Pay. Of course, we don’t know for sure that gift cards will work for the Discover promo, but let’s hope that it does..
