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 think that just as African Americans can use the n word, Jews can use the greedy stereotype.
Who says they should/do??!?!?!

That's your role model for standards of conduct?!

I just got confirmation that my single order of 2 Visa GCs plus a 97 cent pen refill I purchased Sunday afternoon are being shipped.  (I'm most concerned about meeting my spend requirements for as close to $0 as possible, and wanted to do something different in case they started canceling orders and were using 1 Visa GC as the criteria for canceling them)

you can use regular staples coupons on GCs?
Workflowy. You won't know what you're missing until you try it.

Happened to me as well. Also, when using for a purchase, even though it says debit all over it, you need to hit'credit' when using. A walmart cashier taught me that.

About how long after ordering (without the $15 off of $150) GCs do they arrive? My order shows shipped today with an estimated arrival of the 28th.

Once it's 'shipped' mine came within a few days. 2-3, I think.
