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.

Can I get the bold visa under the same business name while the MasterCard is still open?

Good. More for me and those that can read.
The read part is kind of unfair. Their are WM's that will tell them no.

0.47 cents is nothing like 50.00 cents, no.

And there are people that don't live near a WM. Or who have to pay $15 in tolls to get to one.

Also, not everyone lives near a WalMart.  I am such an example.  So it didn't take reading to figure out how to  cash out, it took experimenting.  Eventually I found other methods beyond Walmart that I now use regularly but it took a lot of hunting a pecking, not just reading.

Again, with both of these ideas, I would still rather be cashing out gc's that I bought with new cc's than collecting UR w/ so many gc's.

There may be a period in time where you will not have new cards to work on.

Agreed. The headline should still be $200 Staples GCs Now Online But Useful Only For Ink.
