Our Verdict
Probably my least favorite of the Staples gift card offers, American Express gift cards are a pain to deal with and it’s also a staples gift card rebate. This is your last chance to use up the 5% American Express sync offer if you received it as well. Otherwise use a card that earns at a high rate on office supply stores. Remember this doesn’t start until this Sunday. OfficeMax/Depot offer is way better if you haven’t been taking advantage of that.

You guys do a great job, but any way you could put "In-Store Only" in the title for these Stapes/OD/OM posts? I know they are usually in-store, but it causes me to have to click to make sure.
As Chuck pointed out, if it's online we usually put that in the title as that is the exception. This title is already massively long, we can only put so much information in each title.
Hmm, I think if it's online we'd write online since it's much more exciting, haha. Hard to encapsulate all details in a title.
in the world of disappearing MS opportunities... I wonder if it's better to used CSR on this to meet min spend or to use Ink and get 5x... decisions...
If you're that desperate I suppose you an meet min spend, but INK is a no brainer and would almost never pass up on it.
