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.

manager was called over...said per day....but obviously i dont see them really enforcing that unless he refuses.
The Staples I go to has the same policy. Someone else reported that the Staples he went to, it was $1K

Does anyone know if there would be any issues if I Staples/GCM ship VGCs to a PObox
Try it and let us know if the web site allows you to put the order through.

I did not get the 2points when I bought the gcs from staples.com through the URmall. The only thing I got was the 1% from visa savings.

The portals have been dead for a while already. Within 2 weeks of then selling 200 GCs.

I didn't do much research on this;
Has anyone tried to use the gift card on Square Cash? After all it's considered a debit card?

 I was in a store and they offered cash back would they have really given cash back for a prepaid card?

Scratch that - went incognito and it worked.  Is that typical?
