They're not working for me after activation and registration. Haven't tried resolving yet.Seems like it's the same old story with these.https://www.doctorofcredit.com/issues-with-mastercard-gift-cards-from-staples-com-fee-free-deal/
Updating to say that I waited for 24 hours after activation and tried again. Both cards I tried work now.
Thanks for the data point. Online or in person? Which method did you activate?
