Our Verdict
Use a credit card that earns at a high rate on office supply store purchases. Keep in mind the American Express SimplyCash might no longer be earning 5% on Staples. I don’t think these will be resellable unfortunately, but definitely useful for some people just as general use.

FYI "The cards cannot be used to purchase alcohol at The Cheesecake Factory locations." I didn't know this until I got the cards and they referenced http://www.choicecards.com for more information and I found this beauty in the fine print! Thankfully we mainly eat at Cheesecake Factory but we also tend to run up a nice little tab so I would have only bought 2 had I known this detail that was mentioned no where on the Staples website. Buy and learn I guess.
Are these similar to the meta bank issued cards from od that can be cashed out?
In California they may be cashed out once the balance hits $9.99 or less. Just take it to the merchant directly and request the cash balance. Other states do it at $5, some don't do it at all.
Victoria's Secret Cashes them out automatically once they hit $9.99 or less regardless of the state as its hardcoded into their registers and acfuallt says it on the back of the GC's :)
No
$2 shipping kills the deal. Can it be bought instore?
It's actually $9.99 shipping if you don't hit the $49.99 threshold. You can either buy two as @guest_582136 mentions or do in store pickup.
Check the website. It says it is only available online. In addition, $2 shipping is already included. However, Staples free shipping criterion is +$49.99. If you buy two of these, you'll only pay $80.
Sold out ?
If you're a Panera customer, 20% off isn't bad. About a year ago, the gift card retailers were oddly selling Panera cards at more than 30% off, but the discounts have shrunk to single digits lately. I personally think their food is overpriced, though, so 20% off just makes the prices plausible, but still not a good deal.
Overpriced, and servings which couldn't feed a five year old..
I still go there a few times per week regardless.
Someone help me :)
Amex checkout may be a good option?
Under "new view" of my AMEX SimplyCash, all my recent purchases from 4/11 back are showing 5%. This includes VGC's at Office Depot and VGC's at Staples.
The points take 6 days to show up.
Awesome thanks!
