Office Depot Visa Gift Card Deal, $15 Off $300+ Plus 5X
Office Depot has a new Visa gift card deal. You can save $15 instantly when you buy $300 or more. This offer comes with a instant discount and it takes care of the fees on these cards and gives you a small profit. It gets better since you can earn 5X at office supply stores with a couple of cards. The offer is not in this week’s ad, but it’s being advertised in stores.
Offer Terms
- Limit one (1) offer per customer.
- Discount applied at register.
- Offer valid 11/15 – 11/21/20.
- Offer valid in store on Visa® Gift Cards only.
- Visa Gift Card is issued by Metabank.
Maximizing The Offer
Office Depot and OfficeMax sell $200 Visa gift cards that have an activation fee of $6.95. To get the $15 instant discount, you need to spend at least $300. To maximize credit card rewards, it’s best to purchase two $200 Visa gift cards, which will cost you $413.90. Take off $15 at the register and you’re paying just $398.90. You make a small profit of $1.10, but let’s also look at the points that you can earn.
If you have a Chase Ink Plus or Chase Ink Cash card, you would earn 1,995 Ultimate Rewards points. You can also use a Amex SimplyCash Plus Business Card which earns 5% cashback at office supply stores as well. That would give you $19.95 in cashback. However Chase Ink Plus/Cash would be my choices as UR points are more valuable than cash and Amex has been cracking down on gift card purchases.
Guru’s Wrap-Up
This Office Depot visa gift card deal is a good opportunity to get free Ultimate Rewards points, or just cashback. Definitely worth a trip if you have a location nearby. The deal started today, and will go on for a week. But make your way to your nearest location sooner than later, before they run out of stock. Make sure you have ways to liquidate these cards as there have been some big issues recently.
