Our Verdict
We’ve seen this deal before, one $100 card maxes out the promotion.  As always make sure to use a card that earns at a high rate on office supply stores.
Hat tip to Rewards Talk Diamond
For the last two OD Happy card promotions I had to call in to get $25 reward since it did not post to my rewards account. This time, It is showing up right away.
Can you use the 25% that you get back in rewards on purchasing gift cards?
No
No. “Reward certificates may be redeemed on purchases (excluding all gift and prepaid cards) at Office Depot or OfficeMax stores in the U.S., Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, online and by phone.”
Is this targeted?
No
Does anyone else have issues using these cards? The Him card is a nightmare at Home Depot — it never swipes properly. And as of last week, Happy Card customer service was not picking up.
I just used one at home depot self-checkout a few days ago. It worked without any issues. It auto-drained too because the purchase was more than then card balance. What problems were you having.
Wait… I just realized you said Him not Guy. Happy Him doesn’t work at home depot.
There is no card that can be used in HomeDepot. Even the Happy Guy card is no longer in stock.
Happycards.com does not list a Happy Him or Happy Guy. Nothing works at Home Depot, but “happy to say thank you” and “happy just because” work at Lowes.
I guess Happy Cards only markets to women these days.
_Aren’t those happy just because or to say thank you cards only redeemable online for a Lowe’s eGC but can’t be used at Lowe’s directly so can’t purchase a GC with it ?
Thanks for bringing this up, I am having the same problem in CA HD. I am not buying happy cards anymore thru Amex or anyone. I have some which I shd drain asap.
Is this regional perhaps? I asked at Twin Cities store, they knew nothing about it.
Is this 25% back per transaction or per offer?
Per Rewards member.
I suppose there are restrictions on how rewards can be used (meaning, they probably cannot be used to offset activation fees for visa GC purchases, etc)?
Correct. Prepare yourself to cash out your rewards in the form of some overpriced batteries and pens.
I used mine for coffee filters! At least they will price match to Walmart, Amazon, etc.
they’ll pricematch things like ssds to places like amazon ….
But I dont buy SSDs everyday. I am not Dell
Stamps at face value.
I like to use mine to pay shipping fees.

I used my recent ones for stamps to send Christmas cards.
