The Fine Print

  • Valid 9/18/16–9/24/16.
  • In store only.
  • Subject to availability.
  • See gift cards for details, terms, conditions and (if applicable) fees.
  • The MasterCard® Gift Card is issued by U.S. Bank National Association, pursuant to a license from MasterCard International.
  •  Limit 1 rebate per household.

Our Verdict

Staples gift cards can be sold for 85% of face value, so this more than covers the fees on the gift cards you purchase. This is obviously best for people that can easily unload Mastercard gift cards and have use for Staples gift cards (and have a card that earns at a high rate on office supply store purchases).

Tried to purchase a Money Order at Walmart with the US Bank Master Card Gift Cards sold at Staples and it wouldn’t process through their systems. I set a pin on the cards by calling the 800 number on the back.

Is this something new? Is this unique to Walmart? Or did the CS reps at Walmart not process it correctly?

Mastercard’s don’t work well at Walmart specifically. You have to change payment method quickly to get it to work. It’s tricky.

I preferred Visa Gift card since Visa Gift Card is much easier to unload. But Mastercard Gift card is still fine. I can easily to spend staple GC by ordering a daily deal online like bath tissue, or paper towel on the same day I received.

The main issue is I am kind of lazy. Staples is 3 miles away from my house. Unless I need to pass by, I don’t like to spend time just to drive by for rebate since half of the time I can not find any visa or mastercard gift cards left for purchase if they are on sale.

Was wondering what is the quickest way now days to unload prepaid gift cards, is there any way I can make money order using them at ANY store? Or just old school way to spend it every time you buy something.
