What do they care what you do with your purchase? As far as they are concerned, you bought something (a GC) and the transaction is done. Anything you chose to do with it is your own thing.
Chase makes money on it. Staples makes money on it. The bank issuing the GC makes money on it and MS costs you money too. You may find that you get enough value for the money spent and therefore go through the trouble.

How so? buying with intent to cash it elsewhere is just as against chases intention even though it is not explicitly in the T&Cs
Maintaining a credit card and making purchases with the sole intention of generating points is explicitly prohibited in the T&C's. However, it's not stealing. What's the difference to them if you buy a gc as a gift or to cash out? (Although it can be argued that chase is losing 2% on their 5% categories, which they are willing to sacrifice for the purpose of enticing you to have the card and make other purchases on it, which they are making 2% on. Using it solely for staples can therefore be argued to be the equivalent of making purchases and returning them.)
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

Pggm is also a grey area that's why there are still people that prefer gift cards

Seriously what's your take on this?
If you are serious about the MS game then I hope you have a competent lawyer to answer these questions.
I just found a new supply of forks!

Because many people are vehemently opposed to this and no one seems to take issue with pggm

Lol well what would your lawyer say? Is PGGM legal or illegal? If legal, why is it different than this case.
