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.

How long from order placed till order shipped ?
My first order took the entire 10 biz days which was REALLY long considering I ordered my entire credit limit.
This one is estimated also for the longest length which is June 12. Let me know if I can expect earlier ;)

95% of these things are bought by people using the Inks, which is a Visa/MC, and TTBOMK, Staples systems are not capable of furnishing LIII data, nor are the Ink Visa/MC cards the required type of card compliant with LIII.

The conversation you were replying to, was referring to buying in INK, which is chase. The link is Amex.

If Staples is reporting to Amex they are reporting to Chase and citi and all the others

Without some source, this is baseless conjecture.

ahh.  I didn't recall that.  Perhaps it's $506.95 at cvs or $206.95 at Staples. By 1000's of customers.  IDK.

same here. Ordered 15 (in 2 orders)
yesterday I had the same thing. I got the out of stock msg all day and after midnight I was able to order as much as I want. I started thinking that they have a limit how much they'll sell in one day :-\

Apparently that doesn't mean the order will go through. I ordered a couple of days ago when they were in stock, but I just got a cancellation email indicating that they're out of stock.

That doesn't mean they can see precisely what you bought.
