Our Verdict
I got this one on all of my cards. Nice little savings for office supplies and the like. The terms exclude gift cards, though I wonder how it’ll work in practice (see a few gift card options here, including this Turkey card which is apparently a e-Visa giftcard).

I bought the turkey card for 5 units and after few days got the email to redeem. Once redeemed, a day later the actual GC arrived. Unfortunately, only 1 arrived. So when i called after waiting a few days, they mentioned the same as in the website – that it is promotional. They said they can process refund of the 4 that didn’t come thru. AT this point it was almost 10 days and no hope for this process to work and got the refund few days back. Today, i see the Amex offer credit come thru as well(more than 15 days later). Hopefully it sticks.
Bottomline, turkey card works to get the amex offer, but getting the actual turkey card delivered for more than 1 unit is not an option. I haven’t tried doing multiple orders of 1 each.
My fault for only glancing at the offer before adding it, then realizing it’s only online later on after already making a purchase.
My turkey card order is shipped. Let’s wait to see whether it deliveries.
received the email to redeem the card today.
the redemption process is too complicated.
after enter my information, it need to verify my email, and then need to wait for another 3 business days to get my card.
however, the transaction shows as an Office Depot distribution center 50 miles away, not officedepot.com. So not sure whether it qualifies for the amex offer.
Did it work for you and got the amex credit?.
Worked for me. Purchased gift cards and got email from Amex saying I recently used the offer.
It could not have worked for you. The only gift cards that Office Depot sells and processes themselves are promotional gift cards, so if you ordered those, your order will be cancelled.
See LR comment below – they also got the Amex email and then OD cancelled the order.
Which gift card did you buy?
Their order will be cancelled, there are no gift cards available for purchase on the OD website that OD processes themselves except for promotional gift cards. If you order them, they will end up being cancelled by OD.
Ordered $100 worth of Uber gift cards, triggered AMEX deal (email confirmation from AMEX) but OD cancelled the order 15 minutes later saying it was unable to fulfill it.
Read the description on the Uber gift card. It says “This item is for promotional purposes only. This item is not for purchase.”
All gift cards that are sold online by Office Dept are processed by a 3rd party; the only ones that are processed by Office Depot are promotional cards and will be cancelled if you try to purchase them.
Yeah, I noticed that. The rest of the website is so amateur that I assumed it may have been a copy/paste error.
@chuck The gift cards you mention in the post do not seem to be available for purchase.
What does “for promotional purpose” mean?
Office Depot runs promos that gives out crappy gifts and sometimes gift cards with certain spend amounts.
Will probably see discounted gift card deals during black friday and the holidays, no need to chase this deal with Amex
Gas card also says its a promotional card – not for purchase. So not sure how this is all going to work out.
Might just be promotional cards with other purchases – so tread carefully
The Turkey Card description says:
This item is for promotional purposes only. This item is not for purchase. Please search “gift cards” or visit officedepot.com/giftcards to purchase gift cards.
No sales tax on GAS CARD in Illinois.
Unfortunately, gift cards purchased online from OD process from a third party. Offer won’t apply.
@EMD And there is the catch. Thank you for pointing this out…I was wondering why I got this offer on all my cards….now I know.
Gift cards aren’t supposed to have sales tax on them in the first place…
Let us know if you decide to buy it and whether it triggers the Amex Offer!
When have you ever been taxed on any gift card in Illinois?
Gift cards should never have sales tax.
Responding to EM below.
Sorry…VM
That might be an anomaly given that it’s a Visa card. But thanks for the clarification.
Seems to be charging sales tax on Turkey card – atleast here in NY
Another reason out of 1000 to get out of NY pronto, like I did 20 years ago!
I agree on getting out of NY but I think charging tax on visa gift card might just be office depot issue and not NY trying to charge tax on it. Never had this issue at any other vendor.
Same here in CA
But after place the order, the tax was removed for me.
