In my area I never had a problem buying $2000 at Staples everyday and doing a few transactions at Office Max. Last Staples offer from the first day all Staples stores I use were sold out , same for Office Max . After asking the store managers who I personally know who is cleaning up the cards , they told me 5 Asian males come and buy $2000 each. The managers told me they have trucks coming with new cards on Thursday night. Friday I call and ask an employee in my regular store if they have $200 Visa cards and he said I have 40. This store is 5 minutes from me. If I knew better I would have asked him to hold some for me, by the time I got there I saw 3 of the Asian males mentioned buying the cards. Now I got so upset and could have called the manager and told him that the disclaimer says one card per customer which I am sure he never paid attention to, but then I would have ruined it for myself and others. After I got home I became suspicious that these guys are cleaning up all stores they can reach, i called 7 stores in other cities as far as 200 miles from me, all sold out, to one manager I said I am a friend of-----who is my local store manager and we chatted for a minute, I asked him if he knows who is buying all their inventory? I guess you know the answer. I had an easy going all these years at office supply stores with no competition, now I will need to have the managers hold some cards for me or hit the stores on the first day of the promotion at opening time and take family members with me to get as much as possible .
