Update: Most stores don’t seem to have this promotion going, as per the comments to this post.
The Offer
- Office Depot is offering $10 off the purchase of $150 in Amex gift cards.
Variable-load cards are cash-only, but you can buy $200 Amex gift cards with a credit card.
The Fine Print
- Valid 2/12 – 2/18
Our Verdict
This is an awesome deal since you can buy Amex gift cards at a negative cost and then liquidate via REDbird, j/k. 😈
The fees on a $200 Amex gift card are $6.95, so you’ll end up paying $196.95 for a $200 card. Useful way to rack up free INK if you have an easy to liquidate, like paying your taxes via Plastiq or something similar.
Hat tip to Slickdeals
Totally fake. There is no single store in the US that has it.
Glad to know you checked them all /s.
Lakeland, FL not available.
So even after numerous posts this thread is still up? Have you confirmed it actually worked with ANYONE? This post should be redacted since its obviously not just a YMMV deal but a literal no one is getting it deal…
I’m pretty sure there was a sign up in one or two stores about this promo, but yeah, it seems not to be valid in most places. I’ll update further.
Bogus. Not valid at my OfficeMax. There was a sign up from mid-January for AGC’s. Store manager tried hard to find promo. No go.
Fake news hits our little corner of paradise?
This is totally fake. Or perhaps some store just forgot to take off one of the old signs, I’ve seen it linger at one of the local stores for DAYS!
I went to a local store, there was no usual sign.
Saw a tag did show amex 200-10 in local OD, however the valid date period was 3 weeks ago. tried to purchase 200 but no discount. Manager was also confused by the expired tag and took it away
sorry, the tag was amex 150-10
Just went to my local OM. No-go. Cashier/Manager were confused. Had nothing to fall back on since it’s not in the AD. What is the source of this “fake” deal?
I haven’t seen any data points that this has worked for anyone
See…”FAKE” News!
Pretty clearly Slickdeals
Don’t think Chuck sourced it from SD, we/he’d link if it was.
I actually did link to SD. But I did hear from other sources too.
Oh ahah
If I’m not wrong, socal had this promotion three weeks before.
a cashier @ OM in katy, tx tested a $200 amex GC but no discount
No go @ OD in Cali
No mention in weekly mailer either.
