April 24-30: Mastercard $300+ Gift Card, Get $20 back promotion returns to Staples

You have until Saturday night (4/23/16) to take advantage of the Staples Rewards promotion (best if you buy items in multiples of $20 to maximize your rewards), but there’s more action at Staples next week.

Per the weekly ad teaser posted on their own website, for the week of April 24-30 in 2016, the Mastercard Easy Rebate promotion is back. You buy $300 or more in Mastercard gift cards and you get $20 back via Easy Rebate. This promotion is a money maker if you can get to $300 with two gift cards. The activation fees of three gift cards are too close to $20, making it a wash. Now if you can find a $300 gift card (a bit of a unicorn), that’s even better.

These offers have their dedicated repeat buyers, so if you want to get it, you may have to be there Sunday as close to opening time as possible. Note also that sometimes they hang gift cards at various parts of the store, so even if the gift card area is out of them, there is still hope ~ assuming you don’t mind walking all around the store (if nothing else it’s a good exercise).
