How to get lifetime ban (please write in comments how you got banned and i will add to wiki):
Using the same coupon code on a few separate orders. (I dont know exact know exact number that will get you banned - my total was 98 orders)

How the ban works: According to the rep, if they think any orders were placed for you, they will cancel it.
That includes: your name, address, IP address, email, phone number.

Here are steps attempted to workaround this ban:

Changed billing name and shipping name, but left address the same. Checked out as guest. Seems that my customer number got added to this. - cancelled

Update:
Placed new order under new customer number (created new online profile with my wife`s name), different bill and ship name. Ship address the same - Staples has a really odd system. Even though the orders have my new staples customer number, when i go to my wifes online profile and browse through the orders, it shows me orders that I placed with my old customer number.I placed total of 53 orders. 38/53 were shipped and billed. 15 were cancelled straight off the bat. Seems to me that they may be doing cancellations manually and missed a few orders. Will still try to isolate the solution. I compared orders side by side and have not been able to find a common denominator...

Update 2/15:
Looks like staples caught on and after shipping me the gift cards, cancelled all the transactions with giftcardmall (their provider). They told me that a refund will show on my credit card statement.

Update 5/1:
Looks like some others have gotten banned: http://forums.dansdeals.com/index.php?topic=51610.new#new

Maybe try adding an apartment # or floor 1 or basement level in the second address line obviously changing your name as well

That won't work.
Need a different address.

try and see what happens... change as much info as possible. no way they can take legal action against you, most they could do is cancel your order if they figure out it was you. keep us posted.

i did it under my grandmothers name from my moms side (my address   ;D ;D ;D)
ill update when i get more info.

its such a strange ban. i didnt get any communication from them telling me i am banned.
only because i called after they cancelled my orders. my account is not even restricted, i log in and everything.

going to try and place a order for something else online and see if it gets cancelled out. maybe only restricted for gift cards.

My gut feeling is that it is a manual cancellation any time i order.

...we shall find out!!!!
