Our Verdict
Use a card that earns at a high rate on office supply stores. Some people also have an Amex Offer for $10/1,000 off $40 at Staples. And there’s another $5 off $25 offer for office supply stores that some have. Both of these expire on September 30th.
Hat tip to GC Galore
Bought two cards, the transaction was approved. However, neither of the card was activated. The cashier also the manager, type something in the terminal. She told me she void the transaction and refused to give the cards to me. The charge is still pending with Chase. Hopefully, I was not screwed by the manager.
Hope she gave you receipt indicating that the transaction was voided. Good luck!
She gave me the receipt with her hand written “void” across the receipt.
Did the CSR tear off the back and scan both?
Of course, card not activated is on the receipt
Bought the gift card and split it across two AMEX cards with the $25 offer. Got emails as soon as I left the store. The employee and manager were very friendly about it this time, unlike my previous experience.
Went to Staples to buy 1×200 VGC by paying by Amex card. Cashier radioed manager and manager supervised her for the transaction. Strange. Anyway. Got an email says $25 offer redeemed from Amex.
There is a new $25/100 AMEX Offer for Staples! Had it on my login and my wife’s (BCP) but neither of my kids had it on their AU logins. Hopefully my Staples cashier will not hassle me when I try to split payment for one of these onto 2 cards (last time I tried it they would do 2 but not more).
One of my local Staples’ apparently likes to take these off the shelves during these promotions. 🙄 Every denomination was on display except $200. Asked if they had any in stock and the associate came back with a whole box of them, unopened.
You’re assuming that just aren’t being lazy and not restocking.
Not ringing up on sale yet at both my local stores and they have been instructed not to do an over ride. Urgh
will they claw back if i use for intro offer for chase 4k spend

Got a new Staples offer today of 10% on my Chase Freedom Unlimited. Only up to $6 but can split with Ink.
Non of my 25-minute radius Staples (2 stores) have VGC greater than $50 on the racks anymore since greater than 3 years or so. Office Depot within the last 6 months removed the spinning square gc rack and now have limited GCs ($100 or less VGC), too.
New MSer here; BB $5K load limit is based on a calendar month or per statement cycle?
Calendar month.
Thanks.
