Staples Rebate Cards Now Come with a PIN

Multiple readers report that new Staples Easy Rebate prepaid cards are now issued by Blackhawk and are PIN-enabled. The PIN is the last 4-digits of the card, same as all MetaBank cards.

[Update 5/19/16: Readers note that the PIN is no longer working.]

Previously, these cards were known not to work as a PIN-enabled debit, and the terms also mention that. (Since it is a rebate card, they likely don’t have the same legal obligations regarding PINs as for ordinary Visa gift cards.)

Thanks to Spanky, Randy, and PN for letting us know about this development. It may not have rolled out for all rebate cards yet, but it looks like the newer ones are good.
