Choosing the Right Rewards Program:

To fully capitalize on this offer, make sure you have a credit card that specializes in office supply store rewards. Opt for a card that offers extra rewards for office supply store purchases. Cards like the Chase Ink Cash or Ink Plus can significantly enhance your rewards, transforming a mundane 1X earning into an enticing 5X, amplifying your savings and benefits.

In a Nutshell:

Don’t let this limited-time offer slip through your fingers. However, be aware that while the official limit is 5 cards per day, some stores may have their own rules, as I experienced last time at the Fairfax, Virginia store. While the Staples Mastercard gift card promotion offers fantastic opportunities for savings and rewards, it’s essential to shop responsibly. Avoid going on a frenzy and purchasing more gift cards than you can reasonably manage. Recent reports have highlighted some liquidation issues associated with mastercard gift cards.

Set a budget, think about how you’ll use these cards, and avoid going overboard. Getting too many gift cards without a clear plan can cause financial stress. Remember, responsible shopping means enjoying the benefits without drowning in debt.
