Staples Mastercard Gift Card Promo
Staples has another promotion for fee-free gift cards, this time for Mastercard. You can buy $200 Mastercard gift cards with no activation fee at all. That fee is normally $6.95. So this is a good opportunity for free credit card rewards, especially when combined with one of the Chase Ink cards [5X Ultimate Rewards] or Amex SimplyCash Plus [5% Cashback].

How to Maximize Profits
This is probably the best Mastercard Gift Card deal we have seen. With the new limit of 5, you can purchase $1,000 in Mastercard gift cards per day. You can do that at multiple stores daily, so you could easily rack up rewards if you are blessed with multiple locations nearby. Plus there’s no rebates and waiting for a gift card in the mail. Some stores might even let you make multiple purchases of 5 cards.
For every $200 Mastercard gift card you buy, you can earn 1,000 Chase UR points if you’re using your Chase Ink Plus/Cash card. With the Amex SimplyCash Plus card you get $10. So that’s 5,000 UR or $50 if you buy the limit of 5 cards.
Guru’s Wrap-Up
This is a good opportunity to earn more credit card rewards. Remember, this only applies to $200 Mastercard gift cards. With the new limit of 5, it is easier to make larger purchases at the same store. Some locations were limiting people to just 1 or 2 cards in the past during promotions.
Also remember that Chase Ultimate Rewards points can now be redeemed for 1.5 cent on select purchases, if you have a Chase Sapphire Reserve card. There are also spending offers for other Chase cards right now, that can earn you 5X.
