Day 78/365 It seems that the two office supply retailers have gotten themselves into a battle for your Visa gift card dollar. Both Staples and OfficeMax/Office Depot have sales this week on gift cards, which is a rarity. Hopefully, you will see which is the better deal for you. The Staples Offer The offer at Staples is their standard deal: No purchase fee on a $200 Visa gift card. Pretty straightforward. Instead of paying the $6.95 purchase fee, it’s waived at the register. While this is not a money-maker, you can rack up the rewards when you use a credit card that earns at office supply stores. The OfficeMax Offer If the Staples deal is standard for them, this is the enhanced version of the deal for OfficeMax/Office Depot: Spend…

200/365 This week at OfficeMax or Office Depot, you can pick up some fee-free Visa gift cards, and even earn a little money. If you use your rewards-earning credit card, you can rack up even more in rewards! OfficeMax Store Closing I was so sad to find out that an OfficeMax store near me was closing. It's not my closest store, but every time an OfficeMax closes, I shed a tear. This is because they run great sales on gift cards, and sometimes it's so great that I will run all over town to complete the deal at more than one store. I did happen to pick up some discounted items during their closeout sale, but it's still sad. The Deal This current deal involves purchasing $300 in Visa gift…
166/365 If you're like me and need to replenish your stock of Visa gift cards, OfficeMax and Office Depot are having a sale. It's not the best sale, but if you have a Chase Business Ink Cash or other cash back card, you can rack up Ultimate Rewards and use the gift cards at merchants that don't have bonus categories.

This will get me 2,020 Ultimate Rewards. Even if I redeem those for cash, I'm still ahead by $16.20. However, I can redeem Ultimate Rewards for much better than that by…

Earning Rewards Sweeten this deal using a credit card that gets a category reward at office supply stores. I use my Chase Ink Business Plus, which unfortunately is not available anymore. However, the no annual fee Chase Ink Business Cash gets 5% cash back at office supply stores, and earns Ultimate Rewards when paired with a Chase Sapphire Preferred or Reserve.
