Direct Link to offer (ad page 10)
- Staples is offering a $5 instant discount on the purchase of a $200 Mastercard gift card from August 5th to 11th.
There’s a $6.95 activation fee which the $5 discount largely offsets, leaving a cost of $201.95 for the $200 card.
The Fine Print
- Valid 8/5/18–8/11/18 (begins Sunday)
- The Mastercard Gift Card is issued by U.S. Bank National Association, pursuant to a license from Mastercard International
- Limit 1 per customer
Our Verdict
It’s nice that Staples started offering the instant discounts instead of their old rebate deals. There’s a similar deal currently available online to get a $5 discount on $100 Mastercard gift card. The math is a bit better for next week’s in-store deal assuming you’re trying to rack up office spend on an INK card. Hopefully, your local store allows buying multiples in separate transactions.
These offers stack well with the $5 off $25 Amex Offer deal or the 10% off business cards Amex Offer deal at Staples.
