Happening automatically in-store, at Staples, between the open on April 19 and the close on Saturday April 25 in 2015, you get 15% off the purchase price of gifts from the Gap family of companies (Gap, Old Navy, Banana Republic), Aero and Spafinder. Minimum purchase must $25 or higher. Six gift card SKUs are eligible for the offer which says one per customer during this promotional period.
April 19-25: Buy $300+ Mastercard Gift Cards get $20 Staples GC via Easy Rebate
If you like the guaranteed return of investment of the Staples gift card promotions, they are coming back during the April 19-25 (2015) shopping week at Staples brick and mortar stores. You purchase $300 or more in Mastercard Gift Card and you can receive a $20 Staples Gift Card via Easy Rebate (rebate submitted online, no need to be mailing things).
The Mastercards have a mandatory activation fee, so in order for this to be profitable, you need to get to $300 with two gift cards (eg $200 + $100). If you need three gift cards to get to $300, the activation fee is too close to the $20 gift card bonus, washing the deal.
April 5-11: Buy $200 Nordstrom Gift Cards, Get $15 VISA Prepaid by mail
For the week of April 5-11 in 2015, at Staples brick and mortar stores, if you purchase $200 or more in Nordstrom Gift Card, you can receive a $15 prepaid VISA gift card by mail after submitting an Easy Rebate. The Easy Rebates are submitted online, so you don’t have to mail anything or cut bar codes and such. Since store gift cards don’t have activate fees, it’s essentially a $15 profit for you.
PS: the prepaid VISA, Mastercard and American Express gift cards do have activation fees.
Get Apple TV for around $60 effectively with two step process
If you are tempted by Apple TV or you want to be among the first to try the new HBO Now service that looks like it may need an Apple device to sign-up for during the first three months, the $70 Apple TV is the lowest entry point, since iPhones, iPads and iPods are more expensive. I believe the apps will need at least iOS 7, because HBO Now uses the technology from the MLB (yes, baseball) streaming service, and their apps are at least iOS 7. So if you have older iPods/iPhones/etc, they may not be good enough.
Feb 8-14: Pay $20, get $25 AMC or Regal Gift Card
At Staples brick and mortar stores, during the week of February 8-14 in 2015, you can get a $25 AMC or Regal gift cards for $20. No coupon, no rebate, the gift cards will be automatically discounted at the register. Limit one per transaction/customer says the circular ad fineprint.
In parallel, during the same time period, if you purchase a $200 Nordstrom gift card, you can receive a $15 VISA prepaid gift card via Easy Rebate. Easy Rebates can be submitted online, you don’t have to mail anything in. This offer is limit one per household.
Staples Rewards now offers free $50 Copy and Print Services for Premier members
One of the side effects of the merger of Office Max and Office Depot is that now the rewards programs at both the combined Office Depot/Max and Staples are worse than they were before. Both have decreased benefits, while camouflaging some of the changes. For example, at Staples, you no longer get the full 5% amount, since you only receive rewards in $5 increments. Sneaky bastards!
