The Offer

Check your Office Depot/Max store for the following deal:

  • Purchase $300 in Mastercard gift cards and get $15 discounted instantly at the register.

The Fine Print

  • Limit 1 per household/business
  • In-store only

Our Verdict

You can buy two $200 Mastercard gift cards or one $200 and one $100 Mastercard gift card. Best way to maximize is to buy three $200 Mastercards. Remember, MetaBank increased the fee on $200 Mastercard gift cards from $6.95 to $7.95.

These deals are made better when you use a card that earns at a high rate at office supply stores. Or use your Amex Business Gold card for the $20 credit. There’s also a Chase Offer for 10% back or the same with other bank offers. Also, Dosh offers 2% back, though they exclude gift cards in the terms.

Anyone tried today 2/16? Is it usual to run for 6 days, instead of 7 days?

Late DP here, but Mother Nature spoke. MCGC promo working without issue in PNW.

DP: If the OD/OM is closing and going through liquidation, they will not honor any discounts/coupons. Even though there was no discount on the giftcards, the offer was not triggered on 3x $200 buy. I asked the manager and was informed the store is “blocked” from any corporate sales or discounts.

Yes. I had the same experience. It does look like OD/OM is closing a number of stores.

That’s because the stock is sold to the liquidation company which then does its own sales and sometimes brings in merchandise from elsewhere to be sold.

Was not posted (no signage) but I asked at my local store today and it was on until tomorrow.

Can confirm. Just went and bought $600 gift cards this morning and got $30 credit.

I visited my local OD on Sunday afternoon. No signage about the discount. Bought several cards anyway, expecting the discount to appear during the purchase. Nope. No discount, full price was charged.

I’m skeptical this is really on this week. At least where I live, it’s not.

Same situation for me on Sunday afternoon. Going to need multiple confirmations before trying again.

You bought gc thinking you’d get a discount even though you saw to promotion?

My area stores haven’t put up signage since about 2019.

In this game, the House inevitably wins a hand every once in a while. The cost of doing business.

Definitely not unusual. The manager at my stores lets me pull the plug if the discount doesn’t show up.
