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:

(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 noticed that Staples.com doesn't allow Staples GCs anymore as partial payment for $200 GCs.  Just bought 9 VGCs and it won't even let me choose it.  Am I missing something here?

Anybody try buying VGC with a Staples Gift Card recently? Seems that the online system wont let you use them anymore.
unfortunately it's dead

No, from the Freedom 5% Lowe's spend.  I was out of the country and wasn't able to use them in time before the change.  :-\

Could you buy something, return without a receipt for store credit, and then use the store credit to buy Visa gift cards?

Most likely not. Though you can get a noobie cashier every so often who doesn't know the rules and will let you use it.

staples has paper for $4 this week and after mail in rebate it's FREE. they send a check for this rebate... U could probably liquidate your staples GC's this way... It'll take a while. And you'll need many addresses for the rebates. But you'll get a check.

They also have 5 ream paper bundles from time to time for $25 or so with a $25 rebate.  You'd just need to hang on until that offer pops up.

They used to have 5 or 10 ream boxes FAR every other week or so, but I have not seen it in the last couple of months.

Is the $25 off deal at Staples still available?
I used the linky and it doesn't show anywhere and I am up to "Place The Order".
