Heads up, deal hunters! Staples is running another promotion where you can snag Visa gift cards without paying the activation fee. This offer is valid in-store only from October 12th to October 25th. While it's not yet live, keep an eye out! Why should you care? Because this is a fantastic way to rack up credit card rewards! You can effectively "manufacture spend" by purchasing these gift cards with a rewards credit card and then using the gift cards for everyday purchases. Just make sure you're using a card that earns a high rate on office supply store purchases, like the Amex Business Gold with its office supply credit, or stack it with a Chase Offer for even more savings. Remember, these deals tend to come and go pretty frequently, so if you see it live, jump on it! These deals often have limits, so be sure to read the fine print. Happy spending (and earning)!
