The GCs are shipped separately from their 'activation code' for security purposes. They may arrive up to a few days after the GCs.  If you don't get your activation code or they are delayed and you are in a hurry:
Call 1-866-357-7391, press 3 to speak to a CSR.

Recently they've sometimes been emailing activation codes. Also check your spam folder.


PSA:  VISA rebate cards may be an issue if used to purchase VCG's from Staples online. It seems to be YMMV.  With larger orders more likely to invite scrutiny.
In store they work fine.

7 orders of x2 gift cards canceled. The only one I ordered as a single. Meaning just one gift card as opposed to two shipped.

I got a GC from a previous order, but didn't get the activiation code (supposed to come in a separate letter?)
It's been 2 days - is this normal for the activation code to be delayed, or should I call them?

Well, staples is much more likely to look closely at a $2K order than a $200 order.

I think that just as African Americans can use the n word, Jews can use the greedy stereotype.

+1, unfortunately.

It doesn't prove the greedy part, though. since the $15 off applies (hopefully) per order regardless if you order one card or ten.

It, therefore, disproves the smart part.  ::)

Got a card tried loading to BB at WM. Tried entering last 4 digits and failed twice.
Called up and set my own pin and it worked. I was under the impression that visa don't need a pin set
