Our Verdict
Typically, these deals only make sense for those with an INK card from Chase or Amex Simply Cash since these cards earn bonus rewards at office supply stores. It happens that there is currently a targeted Amex Offer on some Amex business cards to get 5% back on Staples purchases of $200 or more, so this Staples deal can be useful to many. This will not stack, however, with the recent Amex Offer since that offer is only valid online.
If you have an easy way to liquidate Visa gift cards, then it probably makes sense to buy two $200 cards so as to maximize rewards. Otherwise, just buy a $200 and a $100 to trigger the rebate.
It used to be possible to cash out these Staples Rebate Visa cards with their PIN, but readers mention that this no longer works and Milestomemories says he heard from readers the same.
