I don't get why people think staples is so much better. Occasionally they have deals where one can get it below 3.5% ($7 fee for a $200 card), but generally not. Even when they have it, one has to put in a decent amount of effort to get it. i.e. unless you value the points at more than 1 cent a point (possible) you're only making 1.5%. This guy is offering nearly double that with minimal effort.
