The GCs are shipped separately from their 'activation code' for security purposes. They may arrive up to a few days after the GCs.  If you don't get your activation code or they are delayed and you are in a hurry:
Call 1-866-357-7391, press 3 to speak to a CSR.
(How To Activate Staples Visa GCs Without the Activation code. http://travelwithgrant.com/2014/05/12/how-to-activate-200-visa-gift-cards-from-staples-com-without-the-activation-codes/ )
Recently they've sometimes been emailing activation codes. Also check your spam folder.


PSA:  VISA rebate cards may be an issue if used to purchase VCG's from Staples online. It seems to be YMMV.  With larger orders more likely to invite scrutiny.
In store they work fine.

I've seen people talk about these, but why are they good?
$200 for $6.95? OV/VGC seem much better...
Is it the 5% back?

Yup!
So you get 10.35 Staples rewards for every card. Staples rewards act like cash at the store? Therefore the best use of the 10.35 is to go ahead and buy another gc right away?

$200 Staples GC
Counts as 5X on Chase Ink? Or just a reg cc purchase?

So why would the product page say you get 5%?

Based on the DDMS post, this is only worth it if you use Ink. Otherwise, like I originally proposed, you're just paying $6 for $200 when you can normally pay $5 (or less) for $500.

I think most people here plan on using their ink card for this :)
