The Fine Print
- Valid 4/21-4/27
Our Verdict
Make sure to use a card that earns at a high rate at office supply stores, there is also an amex offer. They printed limit one this time, unlike last time it was offered. 3% back in store via Dosh, not valid on gift cards but not enforced.
I get the $10 off $10 in-store coupon almost weekly, are those transferrable or are they tied up to my Staples account?
ETA: nevermind, just saw in fine print, non tranferable so either use it or lose it.
Does purchasing these GCs count towards achieving Staples Premier status purchase requirements of $1000 annually ?
Nope or I’d be there already. It only shows merchandise purchases not including gift cards in my total.
Can you use this promo in different staples stores? if you are using your staples reward account, will the system recon you already made the purchase and this promo somewhere else? thanks! I went to my local staples today and picked one gift card. the 1 per customer is enforced in the one I went to.
You can go to multiple Staples in same day.
Are last 4 digits the PIN for these cards?
Thanks
I think these PINs have to be set manually online, unlike the Visa version.
No.
PIN is the last 4 digits for all Metabank GCs — Visa or MC
just confirmed from FT that last 4 digits are the PIN for these cards.
Cool.
Just loaded BB at WM and it surprisingly didn’t even require me to do the “Change Payment” thing (as opposed to the variable load MCs from Meijer last week). Just went right through with no PIN entry.
just got back from trying to load to BB at WM where they register said “Tender not allowed”
Got 2×10 (different locations) yesterday. Went back this morning, the easy tech register does not do the deal but regular registers do. Unfortunately the cashier read the ad and only let me buy one
Wasted a trip, my Staples closed today. Lol
A lot is closed today with the holiday. I am not surprised Staples is one of them, especially since their hours on Sundays are pretty short around me.
wasted a trip too… the Staples by me was open but did not have any MCGC’s over $100…
Just went to Staples with my husband. Picked up two mc gift cards but was told we could only get one. The ad clearly said one per customer but wasn’t ready to argue further as I didn’t want my MS unenthusiastic husband to have more negative feeling about MS.
Every store or every cashier has their own policy, I went a near Staples and saw empty store and young cashier was bored, I asked her can I buy 4 cards but split 2 payments or 2 CC, she said sure, we scan and total 800, I said 1st card pay 424.xx a random number, she said not sure how to split payment, she called manager, came and said easy, as as as he saw the 4 gift cards, manager said hold a second and went to get ad and said can only buy 1. So I ended up wasted 1 hour time for one, lol. I bought 3 cards in one transaction from same store while manager not around,no issue on Monday. So it’s YMMV.
Picked up 6 cards in one transaction, all got discount.
