The Fine Print
- Valid 6/21-6/27
- In-store only
- Limit one rebate per household
Our Verdict
This deal is from the better ones since:
- it’s triggered by a Visa gift card purchase and not a MasterCard or Amex which is harder to liquidate
- the rebate comes in Visa rebate form and not in Staples gift card form
Remember, however, that Staples rebate cards don’t seem to work with Serve or even with REDbird. Also, there have been mentions of people having trouble getting the rebates, although reaching out to the rebate team should easily take care of the problem.
The main value in these deals is for someone who has a credit card which earns bonus rewards at an office supply store (which is getting tougher to get). If you purchase two $200 Visa gift cards and pay the $6.95 activation fees, you’ll still end up ~$6 ahead after unloading the Visa cards. AND you’ll net over 2,000 INK points along the way. Nice.
