Heads up, award trail blazers! Staples is once again offering $200 Visa gift cards with no purchase fee. This is a sweet deal if you're looking to rack up some extra points or meet minimum spending requirements on your credit cards. You can find these online.
The fine print says you can buy up to five, but some people are reporting the system only lets you purchase four. Either way, that's still a potential $800 worth of spend! Even better, these purchases usually code as "office supply," which means you can earn 5x points if you use a card like the Chase Ink Cash or Ink Unlimited. Just remember to pay off your balance immediately to avoid interest charges, which would negate any rewards you earn. Happy spending!
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.
