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.
(How To Activate Staples Visa GCs Without the Activation code. http://travelwithgrant.com/2014/05/12/how-to-activate-200-visa-gift-cards-from-staples-com-without-the-activation-codes/ )
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.

Is this a 'limited time' deal or will it be around next month?

You think it will take a month for the blogs to kill it?

Also, not everyone lives near a WalMart.  I am such an example.  So it didn't take reading to figure out how to  cash out, it took experimenting.  Eventually I found other methods beyond Walmart that I now use regularly but it took a lot of hunting a pecking, not just reading.

and not all WM's will let. Had an issue at Howell, brick and toms river.

I don't understand what all the excitement is. I was able to purchase these a few months ago online by Staples.
