Our Verdict
The OM/OD deals are way better than the Staples deals since the discount comes instantly. This also opens up the potential of doing the deal more than once, like if you visit separate stores or on separate days or get a nice cashier.
The main angle here is to rack up rewards on the INK card or the SimplyCash at 5x. It could also be useful for meeting a spend threshold.
You can’t get $30 off $600 this time, so you just want to do $300 or $400 in a single transaction. The best two options:
- Buy two $200 cards for $413.90 and pay just $398.90 at the register
- Buy a $200 card and a $100 card and pay just $297.90 at the register
Either way is a win if you have the means to unload it. Depending on your situation, one of these two method is best.
