Buying giftcards on staples online
« on: July 03, 2013, 12:26:44 PM »
I bought one of these codes on ebay for $25 off $75 for staples.
When I added 3 home depot $25 gift card to my cart, it took off $25.
Is it possible that it would work? I am worried they will cancel the order if it officially says that the code isnt for giftcards?
Thanks ppl

You will probably get a call from the order processing dept, and they'll tell you that the Coupon needs to be removed in order for them to fulfill the order.

I do it all the time, but use one a week or so, getting will will flag your "name", and no coupon will work.

When was the last time you did it?

I also used to do it all the time, but lately it has gotten much harder.

Because you need to do it weekly (once a week) Once flagged, you are DONE! I do it on my wife's name (my name is killed with coupon abuse) whenever I get the coupon by email.

How about in store ? Does it work automatically or does the coupon need to be accepted manually

YMMV
they sometimes catch these and cancel the orders

It used to work for me a few months ago but it stopped. It was nice while it lasted; getting a $100 GC for $80 even without the points of an ink card and getting closer to a spending threshold is well worth it. Then I started getting calls from Staples that if I want my order to go through I have to pay everything by CC no coupons accepted.

Imagine that this would work endlessly!
Airlines sending me "We're in this together" emails.

Bruh, where were you when my suitcase weighed it 51.50 pounds?
