Heads up, award trail blazers! Staples is running another promotion where you can snag Visa gift cards without paying the activation fee. This deal is valid in-store only from January 11th through January 17th.

Why should you care? Well, these gift card deals are a fantastic way to rack up rewards points and meet minimum spending requirements on your credit cards. Just remember to use a card that earns you bonus points at office supply stores, like the Chase Ink Cash or the Amex Business Gold (which also gives you a sweet $20 monthly credit for office supply purchases). Plus, keep an eye out for Chase Offers that could give you even more bang for your buck.

This deal pops up pretty frequently, so if you miss it this time around, don't sweat it! Just keep checking back with AwardTrail, and we'll let you know when it's back.
