Our Verdict
Last time around they had this kind of deal (Visa and Mastercard), and it was advertised as getting a $15 Staples gift card, but in actuality it came through as a Visa prepaid rebate. I’m guessing it’ll be the same this time, we’ll see.
You guys know what to do. Here’s more information on Staples Easy Rebates. There’s also a similar deal at Office Depot/Max to get a $15 instant discount this week on 5-Back Visa gift cards.
Rebate form printed for me as of this afternoon. I can also confirm that there is a sign in the store that clearly states the rebate is a “$15 visa prepaid card”. Took picture of the sign, but don’t see any way to post it here.
what does the printed rebate form say ? 15$ gift card or visa prepaid card
As others have reported, the rebate form says “$15 staples gift card”. The sign in the store is definitely for this sale – includes “ends 10/28/17” in the fine print. It will be interesting to see what we get.
I wonder if some law firm would take a class-action suit if they don’t honor the sign and give Staples gift cards instead. I was under the impression that courts tend to take a dim view of stores not honoring posted offers because they claim it was “in error”, but I’m no lawyer.
Is rebate printing out at register today after 300$ visa gift card purchase
Does anyone know if staples carry higher than $200 denominations?
They don’t and that is why we are always advised to buy 2 $200 cards on this deal.
Makes sense, $6.95 fees are too hard to swallow on a regular day.
It’s a shame this is 1/house hold.
they have the $300 VGC available online; but rebate is good for in-store purchases only 🙁
When its for buying VISA cards (only) its usually a Visa card rebate. When its buying MC, Amex, or a combo, its usually a Staples gift card. The one in early Sept is the only exception that I can recall, over the last several years.

This week’s deal is same as previous one back in September. So if we got VISA debit card as rebate card last time we should get the VISA debit card again this time. I think the wording that staples used is confusing a lot of people: a staples rebate gift card should not be called staples gift card.
How is it the same? because it was a VGC & MCGC?
But this week’s specifically says:
Get a $15 Staples Easy Rebates Gift Card
While September one says:
Get a $15 Staples Easy Rebates Visa Prepaid Card
Also, details this week says:
Details: $15.00 Gift Card
Details from September says:
Details: $15.00 Staples Visa Prepaid Card
Sorry I might be wrong. I’ll buy one today and see how it works out
Confirmed. This one is staples store gift card
Newbie here, reading as much as I can for weeks but trouble figuring out the best way to meet Chase Sapphire Preferred min spending of 4k.
Paying mortgage is out with Plastiq I see. Is there another service that’s reliable? Or one to pay rent?
I thought I knew what to do if I went the vgc route, and fee free.
Called around to grocery and drugstores, all said can’t buy vgc with cc. I see here you say at Staples you can. How would you go about buying 3-4k?
I called a local Wal Mart who said only cash or debit cards to buy mo’s.
Is this still allowed just depends on the WM? What are the other options to buy mo’s?
At this point, what’s the most reliable, straightforward way even with a fee? (If there is such a thing).
Any advice very much appreciated!
All these things are YMMV, there isn’t anything that simple and straightforward.
I think most/all CVS’s allow credit card for $500 Visa gift cards, but liquidating those might not be easy.
You can try paying mortgage with Tio.com (I’m not sure if they do mortgages or not, check it out). I think it’s like a 3-3.5% fee.
I bought over $10k of Mastercard debit cards from stop and shop this month with several CC. Have you also tried CVS?
Just left the store…. $200 Visas…. rebate form didn’t print… cashier checked and SKU’s didn’t match rebate in ad. Bought $200 MC instead. Rebate form still didn’t print but it matched.
The rebate only works for Visa/MC >=$300？
I bought 2 ($400) each
How many rebates can you do? Says limit one per a household.
1, you need many local friends’ address to use
Rebates website shows its just an actual Staples gc this time around.
Yeah, I just got the receipt. Haven’t logged in yet to complete the form, but it it does say Staples gift card.
Bummer. 🙁
Same here. But, the sign AT the store clearly said $15 Visa Gift Card. I believe that was put up in error.
Yup, I might pass.
I may go for the OM/OD deal instead
Same here. Maybe the lower sale volume will send a msg: visa > staples gc

Hey Doc
Does a $500 MGC exist? Ive seen $500 vgc but never mgc (at least @ 5% earning office supply stores). I upload these to plastiq for contractor and rent payments. Trying to avoid paying these recipients with a s@*t-ton of $195.12 checks!!
I’ve never seen any kind of $500 gift cards at office supply stores, but $500 MCGCs certainly exist. When there’s a MC-only gas points deal at Stop and Shop, I buy them and liquidate them ASAP (since MCGCs are liable to be hacked).
at Stop & Shop yes, at Staples no, I’ve never seen one in any of the 10+ staples stores I visited
