- Offer valid in store on American Express Gift Cards only.
Maximizing The Offer
Office Depot and OfficeMax carry $200 Amex Gift Cards with a $6.95 fee. To qualify for the discount, you can just purchase one gift card per order. That would cost you $206.95. If you value Office Depot & OfficeMax Gift Cards at face value, that’s a $3.05 profit per purchase.
These deals are best when combined with a Chase Ink Cash/Bold/Plus credit card since they earn you 5X Ultimate Rewards at office supply stores. That gives you 1,035 UR points when purchasing one $200 Amex Gift Card. You can also use a Amex SimplyCash Plus card which earns 5% cashback, or $10.35.
You can also use this Amex Offer for a $10 discount or 1,000 MR Points for each transaction, if you have any offers left.
You can get another $4 total through their rewards program which gives you 2% back, but it’s capped at $200 per quarter.
Guru’s Wrap-Up
Dealing with Amex Gift Cards is not easy, but the discount is a pretty good one since it only requires a $200 purchase. If you have a location nearby, it could be worth a trip.
Your article text says instant discount at one place but it must have been cut and pasted from a previous article since this promotion isn’t for an instant discount. I would like to know if the $10 gift card is issued at the register with your purchase or if it’s a mail-in rebate.
You’re right, instant shouldn’t be there. Terms say “Discount applied at register.”.
