The Fine Print

• Limit of one rebate per household

Our Verdict

There are a couple of ways to maximize this deal. It’s important to remember that a Staples gift card isn’t as good as cash, according to Gift Card Granny you can resell it for 86.5% of facevalue so we’re going to assign the $15 giftcard as $12.975 in cash. Here are a couple of different ways to maximize this deal:

1. AmEx Offers

Earlier this week we let you know about an American Express sync offer that gives you a $20 statement credit when you spend $100 or more at Staples.

• Purchase $200 giftcard and ask the cashier to split tender it across two American Express cards enrolled in the offer. (+$40 in statement credits, -$206.95 for giftcard and fees)
• Receive one $15 giftcard valued at $12.975 cash

You’d make $52.975 on this deal. If you had a way of getting multiple easy rebates, then you could just purchase $100 gift cards which would cost you $5.95 in fees, in this case you’d profit an extra $11.975.

2. 5%/5x Cash Back Card

If you have a card that earns at a high rate on office supply stores you could do the following:

• Purchase $200 giftcard with $6.95 fee (-$206.95)
• Use a credit card that earns at least 5% cash back (+$10.3475)
• Use a credit card that is enrolled in Visa savings edge to earn an additional 1% cash back (+$2.0695)
• Receive $15 easy rebate (+$12.975 in cash)

In this situation you’d earn $18.442

I’ll probably grab a few giftcards next time I’m near a staples.
