Staples Rebate: Buy $300 Amex GC, Get $20 VGC
« Reply #1 on: June 08, 2017, 01:16:37 PM »
Valid 6/11/17-6/17/17

Liquidation of Amex gc's is tough (not pinnable). My only question is can I liquidate by buying Visa gift cards at CVS/711?

If it's not free shipping it's not worth it.

Is the $20 rebate VGC or Staples GC?

Also AMEX aren't as easy to unload as VGC, but still has good use.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Anyone had success using Amex gc's to buy $500+$4.95 fee VGC/MCGC's? Obviously it would require a split tender.

It's very unclear, but I assume VGC.

It just says easy rebate, so might even give check rebate option.

The one they ran last year in early June was for $20 visa GC with purchase of $300 Amex gc's.

well not according to this http://www.doctorofcredit.com/staples-purchase-300-amex-gift-cards-get-20-staples-gift-card-611-617/

My point was that they don't do check rebates for any of these GC rebates AFAIK. You are right that this is a staples gc.

From the website:
Get a $20 Staples Easy Rebates Gift Card on a Purchase of $300 or more of American Express Gift Cards.

Still not clear, but for the Visa GC rebates, they call it a prepaid card, not a gift card. I surmise it's a Staples gift card, but I wouldn't go for this deal even if it was a $20 Visa card.
