Staples drops the purchase fee on $200 Visa gift cards until October 31
Staples, the office supply store chain, dropped the fee on Visa gift cards.
The short version
- The deal is for $200 cards bought in stores.
- You have until October 31 to grab them.
- Pay with a card that earns high rewards on office supplies.
Check your wallet before you head out this week. Staples, the office supply store chain, just brought back its zero-fee deal on Visa gift cards, according to Doctor of Credit. You can walk into any local store right now and pick up a $200 Visa gift card without paying the usual activation fee.
The promotion was originally set to expire, but the chain just extended the cutoff to October 31. For a small business owner buying supplies, stacking this with the right plastic makes a real difference. The trick is using a business card that earns extra points on office supply purchases, or pairing it with an active Chase Offer.
If you carry the American Express Business Gold card, you can also put it toward your monthly office supply credit. It is a quiet way to rack up rewards on cash you were going to spend anyway. Just remember to check the rack before you get to the register.
