Our Verdict
Deal by itself is basically useless because there are so many other credit cards that earn at a higher rate on office supply store purchases. If you get it on a business card with the 10% back offer they should stack. Although there is at least one DP of them not stacking in similar circumstances with Lowe’s. Probably worth adding to your card just in case another Staples deal comes along and they do end up stacking.

7/4 – purchased $300 vgc online with Biz Platinum
7/11 – extra 1x and 10% credit posted
Had a targeted 10% back at Staples with BBVA rewards. The system is shared with suntrust, boa, regions…
u should make a clear note that the two offers are not the same. one is for .com and the other can be used anywhere. very key when going for staples GC promos.
how does this stack with the Amex Blue Business Plus (2x on everything already). Would i get 3x per dollar or 4x per dollar?
3x (2x + 1x).
I have it on my Amex SimplyCash card, so it comes out to 15% off (5% cash back at office supplies stores). I am using it only to buy actual merchandise and not gift cards, since the Amex RAT team is looking out for that.
I managed to add the 10% back offer to my personal card. Any DPs it works for personal cards as well?
I have added it to all my personal cards and bought VGC’s from staples and lowe’s and already got the credits for all my cards.
Hope this helps.
Thanks!
Got both Amex offer emails for VGC order
I had the problem with them not stacking at Lowes, but I made a purchase from Staples online, and also got two offer redeemed emails, so hoping that’s a good sign.
Thanks, let me know if it posts
The Spent app also has an in-store Staples deal. You get an additional 2% back when you have the in-app code scanned when checking out. If you’re new to Spent… you can use Will or Chuck’s referral codes!! John 3:16
Usually for those apps VGCs are excluded, could anyone confirm if by purchasing VGC and scan Spent app in store will get the 2%?
The Spent app pay in store feature more like purchase a gift card for exact value then pay – I would avoid it at all costs.
I wonder if it would stack with Amex BRG 2x/3x on office store along with 10% cashback offer. That would be stacking same thing 3 times.
BRG does not have an office store category, only Simplycash does
