Staples came out with a new promotion online last night. You can save $5 on the purchase of Mastercard gift cards. These cards have a $6.95 activation fee, so the promotion brings down the cost to $101.95. That’s still a loss, but the deal gets better once up to 10X credit card rewards are involved and maybe a $10 discount from shopping portals.
Staples Mastercard Offer
Buy a $100 Mastercard Gift Cards for $101.95. Limit of 3 per account.
Offer Terms
- While Supplies Last. May Not Be Valid In Combination With Other Offers.
- Offer Expires On 08/04/2018
Stacking Rewards and Cashback
Here’s some possible stacking options that make this deal profitable:
- RetailMeNot is offering $10 Cash Back for Online Purchases of $75+ Sitewide at Staples (HT: DoC).
- Use an American Express business credit card with the 10% Staples Amex Offer.
- Use a Chase Ink Plus/Cash credit card for 5X Ultimate Rewards points
Guru’s Wrap-Up
This is a profitable deal that could get you a $100 Mastercard for about $81 if everything mentioned above works out. Even if you’re not sure how to unload these cards, you could spend them organically and get a 19% discount everywhere. The 3 limit kind of waters down the excitement, but still worth the effort considering the deal is available online.

Anybody gotten to work anyway?
I haven’t received it yet
I passed on this one, doing the office Max instead, if many buy into this deal Staples offers will keep getting worse.
Felt good to use my SPG AMEX one last time with a $10 discount on non-bonus spend before the devaluation tomorrow! Thx for the great tip . . .
