Heads up, deal hunters! Office Depot and OfficeMax are running their popular promotion where you can snag $15 off when you purchase $300 in Mastercard gift cards. This deal is back from 11/16/25 - 11/22/25. You'll see the discount applied instantly at the register. Keep in mind it's limited to one per household/business and is an in-store only offer.
Why should you care? This is a fantastic opportunity to rack up some serious rewards points or cash back! Ideally, you'd want to buy three $200 Mastercard gift cards to maximize the discount. Yes, there's an activation fee ($7.95 per $200 card now from MetaBank), but you can offset that by using a credit card that earns bonus points at office supply stores. Think Amex Business Gold for that sweet $20 credit or keep an eye out for Chase Offers or other bank offers for extra cashback! It’s basically free money if you play your cards right (pun intended!).
Why This Matters for Your Strategy
News in the points-and-miles world moves fast, and promotional changes often have a short window. If this announcement affects a card or program you hold, log into your awardtrail dashboard to check your current benefit usage, bonus progress, and whether a transfer or redemption makes sense right now — before terms change.
As a general rule: transfer points only when you have a specific redemption in mind — transfers are almost always one-way and non-reversible. If you're unsure of the value, check our redemption guides before acting.
