Update 5/29/20: Rebatesme sent out the following e-mail:
As you know, we had an offer on our Staples page that indicated that there may be a 5% Cash Back Rate on $200 Visa Gift Cards. While normally, the rate on offers always shows the potential highest Cash Cack rate and not necessarily what you will earn, we understand that this was a confusing and misleading message. While we did take it down once we realized it’s nature, as a member you would expect us to honor at least some of that deal.
We will be adding an order subsidy to your account in the amount that your Cash Back rate should have been. Please allow us 3 business days to add that to your account.
Update 2: it’s now been removed.
Update/Warning: A reader notes that they ran this a month ago and never paid out.

Our Verdict
Generous offer, seems like you can buy unlimited amounts of $200 Visa gift cards and get 5% back by clicking through the portal. It’s a $3.05 moneymaker per card if you have a fee-free way to unload these; plus you can use your INK Cash/Plus card for 5x.
If you are new to the portal, you’ll also get $5 signup bonus when you earn $10 in cashback (which will happen with a single Visa gift card purchase).
It’s quite surprising that Staples would pay out a 5% on Visa gift cards; hopefully this pays out without a hitch.
