Heads up, deal hunters! Staples is running its popular promotion again where you can buy Visa gift cards with no purchase fee! This deal is valid in-store only from December 14th to December 27th. This matters to you because it's basically free money if you play your cards right.

Here's the lowdown: You can purchase Visa gift cards without paying the usual activation fee. The trick is to use a credit card that earns bonus points at office supply stores. Cards like the Amex Business Gold (which also offers a monthly credit for office supply purchases) or Chase cards with rotating category bonuses at office supply stores are perfect. Basically, you're earning rewards on money you were going to spend anyway!

Just remember, these deals often have limits on how many gift cards you can buy in one transaction, so check the fine print before you load up. Happy earning!
