Update 10/10/24: Deal is back.
Update 9/111/24: Offer showing again through 10/5/24. This time it’s for 10% back, up to $38 back. (thanks to all who shared this deal)
Update 3/4/23: New offer showing up for peopel again.
Update 2/20/23: Deal is back at 20% this time, up to $50 back. (ht becauseimnew) Looks like this time they added exclusions: “Offer excludes HP, Epson, and Samsung products, gift cards and streaming devices”, so I don’t know if gift cards will still work.
The Offer
- There’s a Chase Offer for 10% back on all of your Quill.com purchases, up to $25 statement credit.
The Fine Print
- Expires 11/25/21
- Payment must be made directly with the merchant
Our Verdict
Quill.com sells office supplies, but also sells $200 and $300 Visa gift cards. The $300 card has a $9 fee, and should be an easy moneymaker. Try going through a shopping portal as well and see if it sticks.
Could be worth it for some, especially if you find the offer a card with an office supply multiplier. I’d guess the offer is more likely to show on business cards (?). Let us know if you see it at any other bank, such as Bank Amerideals.

States "no gift cards"
It always states that on this offer but I, and many other DPs, have gotten the credit each time.
"Unfortunately $200 cards have a $21.99 fee and $300 cards have a $32.99 fee."
$21.99 is 10% of 221.99 and 32.99 is 10% of 332.99, which suggests that Quill finally caught on to what a lot of people were doing and specifically targeted this kind of purchase... perhaps to make back the money they were giving to Chase for this promotion?
It's the same stupidity that giftcards.com did with GoC. Just because people are hitting these hard when they have the right offers stacking doesn't mean they will keep doing it when offers dry up.
IDK their reasoning, but that's insane. They should just not sell the card. Even if someone's dumb or desperate enough to pay it, they shouldn't take advantage.
They're owned by Staples. IIRC, the paperwork w the gc info has Staples info on it, and you tt Staples if there's a card issue. You guys should punish them for this ridiculous fee by doing the OD/OM gc deals instead of the Staples deals.
This is no longer worth even posting about... who would pay $33 for a gift card fee?
the chase offer negates the fee, so you're buying the GC at cost and earning 1650 UR points.
Right but then you can just as well buy at Staples store when the fees are waived and you're not risking getting the card lost in the mail.
This! This "deal" is no longer worth posting in MS land.
Quill doesn't just sell gift cards
Example deals? 10% on GC is easy, 10% on random office supplies not so much.
From the article: "Unfortunately $200 cards have a $21.99 fee and $300 cards have a $32.99 fee."
Correct. That doesn't mean the offer isn't useful for other things ?
from what i recall the past few times this offer popped up:
With fees on Visa GCs this "deal" is so easy to ignore. Now it's no different than any office supply store running random-deal-of-the-week.
May be immaterial for this group, but for point 3, that is for gift cards. Product purchases post quickly.
Thanks for the executive summary. This should be stickied.
I bought gift cards the last time before they raised the fee. Who would actually buy these?
Bulk buyers for business? I imagine they'll drop the fee considerably. Although I also imagine there are much better rates to be had from other providers, but who knows.
I called for a business quote of 100x $300, because I was curious. They said they have to run it by management and get back to me. Afaik GC's aren't ever a money maker, so I don't know why they mess with it all, tbh.
Don't see a play here with the Visa fees so high now
Crazy, checked my order history, for $300 visa gc. fee was $8.95 in 2023, $9.95 last September, and jump to $32.99 now.
inflation lol
The fees bruh 😂😂
I remebered Quill called me like 5 in the morning to talk about some coupons.
LOL. I got a 7 am one and thought that was bad!
have on ink cash but with the 10% fee on Visa cards, better off buying $300 in cards when fee free at Staples. Or better yet, Office Depot with the $15 off.
