That's not good for the gift card buyers!

yes, I heard that on the radio this morning. They will shift their focus to more online sales in order to save millions annually.

This makes me hope that they will sell more GCs online!

(Both store GCs and Visa GCs)

“Our customers are using less office supplies, they’re shopping less often in our stores and more online, and their focus on value has made the marketplace even more competitive,” Chief Executive Ronald Sargent said on a post-earnings call.

Not a very positive statement

Can Staples gift cards be used to purchase Visa Gift cards from Staples or staples.com ?

Store. Not sure online. I know there is a spot, but it may not let it process. Try it out and let us know.

The Staples nearest me closed a year ago. Not fun at all.

coralsnake · « **Reply #14 on:** September 16, 2015, 07:49:59 PM »

Office Max is also closing some locations

Because the were bought out by Office Depot, or just in general?

I believe because of the OD deal.

Although the one that told me they're closing in November has no OD anywhere near. But I guess they have bad numbers.

There is a Staples right near by.

Oh please. Tons of OD in LA.

And those usually have the 200 visas when there's a promo.

Staples ain't that great.

I'm not saying we don't have more ODs, though the Staples near me was always better selling GCs with CC whereas OD gives issues.
