Most orders got cancelled. Only one that didn't get cancelled was the one where I had a trial on that email address. Might be a coincidence but....

What about the person who bought 20 and is now going to buy a going to buy a $1,000 computer for $600?

I don't know where you come from, or if your some pretentious, entitled trust fund baby, but $400 savings isn't chump change to me, and I'd wager for most people on here.

Can't you only make 5 type of payments during check out at staples? 4 cards * $50 + regular credit card to put the balance = $80 savings with each over $200 purchase.  (4*$20)

Why is a $1300 return on $3000 for a hour of work bad. I think a 35% return on your money is great.

What do you do that you can make $500 in an hour (or less) of work?
Good point. I guess I was imagining it not being just an hour of work.

Yes, I forgot to write that just now but I remember noticing it in the T&C last night:

No more than five cards may be used for any single purchase.

If so, there goes @AJK's $1000 computer idea.

Buying a 1,000 dollar computer for $600 is great... IF you already had in mind to buy that computer. I don't like tying up my money in a store gift card just because I can figure out a use for it.

Except that's only one example of people who could utilize this deal and not be dealing with "chump change."

Plenty of others.

@AJK, I'm wrong. There.

I'm not looking to pick a fight (especially with a mod  ::)) and I certainly didn't mean to become the unwitting troll on this thread. So that's it. Sorry to turn this nice little thread into a potential popcorn maaseh.

It's nice to hear that you can use more than 5 GCs at checkout at Staples. If you are saving 40% on your new lap top, tischadesh and good on ya!

To those who bought 100 cards and are making 1,200 bucks for less than an hour of work, that is obviously amazing. I'm jealous I didn't do the same thing!

With this talk I have myself thinking why I only ordered 500 cards.

If it's off-topic, by definition that makes it on-topic.
Workflowy. You won't know what you're missing until you try it.
