Our Verdict
Not sure how this one slipped through the cracks. This is the best variation of this offer ($15 discount and on Visa gift cards). Either purchase two $200 cards or one $200 and one $100 card to trigger the offer. Remember to use a card that earns at a high rate on office supply store purchases. Staples has a no purchase fee deal during the same period.

My OM had a fully stocked shelf, I've never seen that before. The cashier (who I gather was the store manager) mentioned that hardly anyone was buying them this week for some reason.
My OM/OD told me I'm banned last time I came in because apparently loss prevention said it's fraudulent activity if I'm buying GCs with "5 different credit cards" as if they can't do the sloppy work of checking that my name and cards with the last 4 digits match. WTF? Anyone know a number to reach OM/OD Corporate?
Pretty sure you shouldn't call corporate when you're ringing this up as 5 different transactions to get around the limit of 1 per household/business.
Banning you does seem excessive but I doubt corporate will be very sympathetic.
My OD has been friendly until I came in today and saw that all visa and MC cards are now in the lock up. Manager had to do the transactions. She did not let me do 2 separate transactions! Cashier told me there was a fraud lately and now it looks like all OD stores in the area will be like this!😦
any idea how much would be the purchase fees for $300 visa gc?
200s are 6.95 so you make a buck (plus CC rewards) if you buy two, 100s are 5.95 I believe so if you do one of each you can make $2 (but less CC rewards). The additional $100 cc spend is worth more than a dollar to me so I do two 200s if I happen to be near a store.
I need to liquidate A/E gift cards. Will Office Depot store accepts them as payment for Visa gift cards ?
I would not count on it.
They don't sell $300 visa gc's at OD/OM
i mean other denominations like $100, $200
I assume this promo also works for the Everywhere VGCs?
Yes.
the new sw card came in today's mail. time to get some OD/OM scratches!
Ugh. I definitely have a love/hate relationship with this promo.
works on the variable too.
This did not work for me. I tried twice and both times the cards failed to activate.
Does this deal apply to the Visa Five Backs as well? Pretty nice if it does!
yes, it does.
Benefit?
They're a couple dollars cheaper
beautiful, thanks Chris
Went to 2 office Depots, only got one set due to all out of stocks for 200$ visa cards. Guess waiting for them restock.
Which area are you located in?
