Update 08/05/18: Multiples in the same transaction are working. Easy way to max out your $1k Amex Offer limits by purchasing 5.

The Offer

Direct Link to offer (ad page 10)

  • Staples is offering a $5 instant discount on the purchase of a $200 Mastercard gift card from August 5th to 11th.

There’s a $6.95 activation fee which the $5 discount largely offsets, leaving a cost of $201.95 for the $200 card.

The Fine Print

  • Valid 8/5/18–8/11/18 (begins Sunday)
  • The Mastercard Gift Card is issued by U.S. Bank National Association, pursuant to a license from Mastercard International
  • Limit 1 per customer

Our Verdict

It’s nice that Staples started offering the instant discounts instead of their old rebate deals. There’s a similar deal currently available online to get a $5 discount on $100 Mastercard gift card. The math is a bit better for next week’s in-store deal assuming you’re trying to rack up office spend on an INK card. Hopefully, your local store allows buying multiples in separate transactions.

These offers stack well with the $5 off $25 Amex Offer deal or the 10% off business cards Amex Offer deal at Staples.
