Heads up, award travelers! Staples is once again offering $200 virtual Visa gift cards with no purchase fee. That's right, zero fee! This is like finding free money (almost!). You can snag these online at Staples.com.
Why should you care? Because these gift cards effectively give you a discount on anything you buy with them. More importantly, if you use a credit card that earns bonus points at office supply stores (like one that earns 5x points), you're essentially racking up serious rewards for every dollar you spend. Think of it as a points multiplier on everyday purchases. Just a heads up: while the terms say you can buy 5, some users are reporting a limit of 4. Also, remember this is a "virtual" gift card, meaning you will receive it digitally and can use it for online purchases. You can also get this deal in-store. Happy spending (and earning)!
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.
