Does OD ever do the online GC deals anymore? Even though they don’t code as office supply stores, it was still a nice $15 off of $300.

It’s not $15 off $300, it’s $2 off $300.

Can these really be used to purchase money order at Walmart? Have not had much success?

Same here. No luck at Walmart. The employees also give the stink eye. But can I only use one card per money order? In other words, can I use two $200 cards to buy a $398 money order?

I just got the deal for 2 200$ Visa cards from office Max. I have not been successful in registering them online for online use. If you have any info please share. Ty!

The special is online too. Check the post from yesterday. But doesn’t earn x5. But better deal-$10 off for every $100 gift card up to 3.

GoYo

I just rang up 3 $200 cards for $600. Only got $15 off. Not sure about the $30 off $600.

Yossi

January 23, 2023 2:09 pm

best to buy them in units of $400. They come out to $398.90. Also, my chase ink card as 5% off up to $11

Y.A.

June 9, 2024 1:21 am

No, it’s best to get them in multiples of 300, can do for instance multiple $200 cards that add up to multiple of 300 and can get the discount multiple times.

Robert

January 26, 2023 5:30 pm

Hmmm, Dan do you know if the $30 off $600 is also valid this time? (Guessing no, because the post doesn’t reflect that anymore?)

Dan, does the $25 virtual prepaid visa card on office Depot give you 5 points per dollar with no activation fee with the cash ink?

Some Walmart stores with older card terminals (in the customer service area).

May 16, 2023 11:23 am

ok so last week was mastercard and this week is visa. sweet, has anyone ever had any issues with the visa cards

It’s active for Visa this week.

Could you use these cards to overpay your cell phone or cable accounts and then request a refund of the credit balance

This doesn’t appear to be a VISA or MasterCard question. Speak with your carrier and ask if the accept overpayments and process refunds. How many millions are you planning on overpaying? ‍♂️

Yitz

Reply to  Al

I believe you can request but it will probably go back to original payment method…
Only if it’s processed with third-party processing system this is when you will get a check

If only they actually had stores anywhere.

My local office Depot store have a limit of $150 off
So 15 x $200 was the amount I could buy under that promotion
(There hard limit is $9,999.99 in gift cards per customer per day and max one transaction)

No where to buy Money order now. Any suggestions? Food Lion and Walmart no longer accept the Gift Cards .

There is an Amex offer still available for Office Depot.

@dan is this advertised somewhere so i can try to get online as there are no stores within 50 miles from me

CopyJosh

October 29, 2023 6:11 pm

Was a bit nervous how this would add up with the increased fees on the cards but I rang up today $10 off for every $200 card, for a total of $1,187.70 for $1,200 worth of gift cards. Sweet deal.

Sounds like you don’t live near an Office Depot. But I value the return at $67 at least.

Dan-Where is this deal advertised or was this seen live in person on the GC rack?

Dan

January 21, 2024 6:03 pm

Just tested it myself at my local store. No advertisement, but worked like a charm on a dozen cards.

Thank you! Is the final cost $300 plus activation fee minus $15?

3 $200 cards was $600+$20.85 in fees-$30 discount=$590.85.

Yes‼️ And Costco does accept the gift cards at checkout. Only waitstaff in restaurants with the handheld readers have an unnecessary issue.

Buying gift cards with an amex counts towards spending for qualifying for the card opening bonus? and do you get bonus points for buying gift cards?

MasterCard

April 15, 2024 6:53 pm

Reply to  Jso

The attraction here is that the purchase price of the gift cards is, with the Visa fee, less than the face value when purchased in $600 multiples. Additionally, the Chase Ink Business Cash card pays 5% on all purchases from office supply stores. The takeaway is that the Visa gift cards are purchased for about 94 cents on the dollar.

and what about the question?

As many as they will sell you. I buy $3,000 face value at each offering.

Dave

May 15, 2024 3:20 pm

Are the fees waived?

MasterCard

May 16, 2024 6:16 pm

No. But 3 cards x $200 will net less than $600.

Danny

May 16, 2024 12:26 pm

I can only find $100 gift cards

May 16, 2024 6:18 pm

Open the card display and pull out the overstock. Or ask a talented associate or branch manager for assistance.

Carl

These are never in stock at either of the Office Depot’s near me. Why bother to advertise it if they are not in stock?

The person I spoke to yesterday said that they are stocked by a vendor once a month. That’s pretty ridiculous for something being promoted to get you into the store.

Matt

A couple of my Chase CCs have 5% back chase offers for OD. Could make this even more slick.

Can one use a gift card to pay taxes online?

The Game has changed - slightly

February 18, 2025 5:36 pm

Office Depot/OfficeMax has instituted a 10-card maximum per transaction. It is non-negotiable and programmed into their transaction software.

So my 21 card purchase has to be backed out (I did not accept the total) and re-entered as 3 transactions: 9 cards, 9 cards, and 3 cards.

Jay

March 16, 2025 10:15 pm

If I buy these cards to max out the spending on the ink business cash card, where can i take these to get the full cash back money amount on them?

You can do better. Really.

March 17, 2025 3:31 am

Reply to  Jay

Nowhere. You’d like to buy up all the available cards until you’ve maxed out your line of credit, get the full cash back money amount, pay off your line of credit with the cash, and then start the process all over again. Right? Sorry, you don’t understand the offering.

Jay

March 28, 2025 2:58 pm

No, i think you misunderstood me… i say “max out” referring to the 25k you can spend yearly in office supply stores to earn the full 5% on the ink business cash card. Now, true that that itself a big bonus but im asking if there’s a way to then “re cash” the gift cards back to cash again thereby gaining the $ back, but acquiring all those points along the way. Do you still think i misunderstood?

You can do better. Really.

I just picked up the cards with the discount at Office Depot and they told me it was Mastercard not Visa. Not sure if that varies from store to store or state to state…
