Limit 1 per household/business
In-store only

Our Verdict

You can buy two $200 Mastercard gift cards or one $200 and one $100 Mastercard gift card. Best way to maximize is to buy three $200 Mastercards. Remember, MetaBank increased the fee on $200 Mastercard gift cards from $6.95 to $7.95.

These deals are made better when you use a card that earns at a high rate at office supply stores. Or use your Amex Business Gold card for the $20 credit. There’s also a Chase Offer for 10% back or the same with other bank offers.
