Deals/Deal Requests / Re: Staples (online) - $10 off a $300 VGC - Limit 2

Out of 3 orders that said "shipped", one shows up as transaction and 2 do not show up on pending or are deducted from cl available. This whole thing is extremely frustrating!

Gotta love amex! After shutting me down to load on Friday, I get this email today.
"Take advantage of FREE Direct Deposit to your American Express Serve Account, and get your money fast to shop and pay bills sooner. When filing, all you need is your Serve Account Number and Routing Number."
And they wonder why they are losing money?

Cards all show shipped on staples.com and got shipped confirmation emails, dropped off pending on ink and not appearing to be deducted in my cl. Does that mean that if I do receive these vgcs they will be duds?

Just realized that my available credit line on my Ink isn't being reduced by the amount of my Staples GC order. But the order status still says processing...

+1. All the $597.95 pending charges dropped off. This is not looking so good.

Why do people mask themselves in TRs? Do they think that they are so important that people will seek them out?

Anyone having luck buying a gift card with the code?
After ordering I get an email that my order it's cancelled as they were not able to verify.... Which is the default cancellation email

You need to use code to buy something for $19.99 + tax ($21.76) and after receiving it return it to a brick and mortar
best buy. The $1.76 will go back on the credit card you used and they will issue you a gift card for the $20

Went to the lounge in Short Hills today. Got an umbrella from visa checkout (choice of umbrella or travel cup). I think visa checkout booth is only there on Mondays. Had 2 presents wrapped which took forever but were wrapped very nicely. Food set up was pretty lame. Water, canned soda, keurig coffee, potato chips, bananas, oranges and apples. Got spoiled from the VIP lounge a few years ago around Super Bowl time. That was a much better set up. The gifts were nicer and they had real drinks at the bar.
