[Expired] Staples: Purchase $200 Visa Giftcard, Save $5 (12/16-/12/22)

Deal has expired, view more Staples deals by clicking here.

The Offer

  • Staples is offering a $5 instant discount when you purchase a $200 Visa gift card

The Fine Print

  • Valid from 12/16 until 12/22
  • Limit 1 per customer
  • In store only

Our Verdict

Make sure to use a credit card that earns at a high rate on office supply store purchases. Not as good as the fee free offers they have had recently, but certainly not going to complain. The limit 1 per customer is only sort of enforced in that they won’t do more than one in the same transaction and some stores will prevent you from purchasing again if they know you’ve purchased before but that is obviously YMMV and not hardcoded. Update: Reports indicate you can do more than one in a single transaction.

Keep trying, deal hasn’t expired in Salisbury MD.

I just did a five card purchase and received the $5 discount five times in a single transaction.
Sales clerk told me daily max was 2K

Just bought a 200 vgc at staples and got 5 off. I am not sure why. I thought the deal ended?

I am seeing Chase offers on my personal cards but nothing on Ink Cash or Ink BP. Do other see offers on business cards?

No, it seems that Chase Offers are only on personal cards.

Also Stack with BofA

BankAmeriDeals on some cards 10% back at Staples thru 12/18 upto $6, So $21-$29 possible with Bonus coin dealsBofA Coins top tier.

Obviously not as good as 5X on Ink but you’ve maxed your annual limit on CIC otherwise the Ink Cash is a net $262 cost on $300 (CSR 1.5X base multiplier).

PSA: Some times you can get re-targeted on deals or new deals by changing your Zip code to a different region of country by changing home zip code in BofA deals sub menu: Preferences (also need to make sure location awareness is off (DEALS NEAR ME = Deny permission).

My Amex statement always show details like 200$ gift card with $6.95 fee when I shop at staples, so my answer is yes to your question

NinjaX — it appears you nailed it for this week too…. OD apparently has an undervertised $15 off $300 of VGC’s in store this week ! Bravo.

Can you stack these with the debit card offers many banks and credit unions offer?

Confused here, is it 5/ 200 vgc or 5 per transactions. Could we do 1k all at once and have 25 subtracted automatically from fees or have to do 5 200 vcg individually for the discount?

Says limit 1 per customer, but I’ve heard of people having luck getting multiple discounts in a single transaction before.
