Our Verdict
I don’t think this one is being publicly advertised, but you should see the notice by the gift card rack in-store. We saw a similar deal the other week on Mastercard gift cards. There was also an online deal from OD/OM last week which has since expired.
Use your Ink Cash/Plus card for 5x points or use another card that has a bonus. You can also link your card to Dosh for 2% back, up to $10 per day; and the Payce app has Office Depot/Max too. These apps might not work for gift card purchases.
Hat tip to reader Drivesabrowntruck and Steven
dosh cash back from last week posted today. $1.92 for each $100 VGC/MGC purchase (100+10-6 = $96*2%)
Does the Dosh offer actually pay out for GCs? Mine have all gone pending.
Mine from the $100 MC last week just settled after pending for a week. I *think* online do not. Find the DoC post about $300 ODOM .com gift cards from maybe April for a lot of people that had to fight to get their credit.
Decided to buy from OD for the first time. My location only has fuel and movies Everywhere VGC, none of the other Everywhere varieties. Other than that, well stocked.
I had to use a measly 2% card, so only made ~6% ($100 VGC with $5.95 activation minus $10 off promo). I don’t have Ink, I only have Graphite. ☹️
Major props to whoever went to the San Mateo store and got the newbie cashier to spend an hour ringing up 30 individual transactions ($6000). By the time I got there in the afternoon, they were out of cards. Asked the manager (who i know from years of buying GCs) if they had more – he said no and told me the story about a new hire, that didn’t know the rules, had rang up those 30 transactions in the morning when it was quiet. That newbie has now been transferred to the back stocking shelves lol. I been doing these offices depot runs for years hauling 60-100 cards during promo weeks, i’ve never pushed 30 transaction at a single store before – I am in awe!! Went to a few more stores after that and did my measly 3 transactions at each of those stores. That’s legendary, hope to meet you someday.
It’s the selfish people like that made the store to set the 1 transaction limit.
What so selfish about buying as much as you can? Its a non essential item and its up for grabs.
With as slow as their POS is that would’ve taken a good 45 mins
I wonder why the online deal is a true $10 off with no activation fee while in-store is $10 with an activation fee.
Because the online deal is garbage
i like garbage.
Got 1. They only allow 1 transaction.
The OM/OD here haven’t carried any gift cards since the pandemic began.
Same here and there is no expectation they are bringing it back before 2021 according to mgmt. (central KY locations).
5.95 activation fee is offset mostly by 5% back. There is no limit on how many you can buy if the cashier lets you.
If you get the “Everywhere” Cards, it’s only a $4.95 fee.
So if I buy (2) $200, I would get a single $10 credit, correct ? Never dealt with $100 cards.
Right, unless separate transactions
I miss the 15 off days. For the sake of efficiency I just do two transactions of 2 cards each. Eat a small fee but I don’t want to drive all the way there for 2 transaction of a single card. I usually pickup 60-80 cards during these promos pre-covid. Now I’ll be lucky to clear 30. This will be the first year that we won’t be able to max out our 2 ink plus cards.
How do you liquidate them? MOs?
He eat them. Nom nom nom.
Organic spend, MO, loading other plastic, selling to not so smart relatives, etc.
