how can i use 150 att credit to get a new phone?

Will they charge the cost to your account

I finally got an answer from gift card mall as to why I never get activation codes in the mail with Staples Visa gift cards and always have to call to activate.
I always ask and they always say "You should have gotten one."
This time the rep laughed and said "I know it doesn't make sense but our company doesn't send out codes for under $250 cards and staples wont send out the codes themselves".

It seems a lot of people in here have had success buying GCs and getting the statement credit for the latest Staples offer even though it specifically states "Physical and electronic gift card purchases are not included".  But has anyone NOT received the credit or know of someone that did not get the credit?  TIA

does the 25 off 100 for staples work on other stores gift cards too?

[bznt]

Like gas cards ? Sure .
The question is. Can you find them online ? The last offer was online only

They have target and bbb

if you get the email that the amex offer was used, does that guarantee you get the credit?

Nope. But a good sign

I'm buying a few gcs to other stores with the staples offer. Hope I get the credits

-0.5 not even a sign, it just says that you shopped at that store.
I swiped a amex by shell for $24 (the offer was $5 off $30) and I got the email.

Gas is different because they authorize the card in advance

Meaning, they authorize the card for an amount that is more than $30 before you start pumping and that triggers the email. You can't extrapolate from this that you'll get an email if you spend, say, $90 at staples.com.

newegg, 200 get 25

I found this again in Amex Offers For You. This time it expires 2/28/2015. Here's something that you can buy in NewEgg that some might appreciate: NewEgg item # N82E16832507001 is an American Airlines $100 Gift Card (Email Delivery) sold for just $97. There's a limit of one per customer and the product is not available for New Jersey residents. Obviously, to get the Amex offer, you would have to spend another $103 besides this but that could be done later in the month and need not be on the same order.

Any reason to think it would be different than VGCs?
