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.

Staples wont let me buy 10 GC's online because it is over $2000 ($2069.00 was the total amount). Do you buy 5 Gc's two times? How to get around this?
I am not 100% sure about this. But I am going to click it anyway.

Yes.  You can also set your own pin by calling the number on the back of the card.

That's what it seems like. Anybody try to play with the Javascript or something like that to get that option to be checked on the checkout screen?

how long does it usually take for you to receive your GC's? I ordered GC's last friday and it still says the order is processing. Any reason for the delay anyone else have similar issue or just my luck on the order?
I am not 100% sure about this. But I am going to click it anyway.
