Maximizing The Offer
Office Depot and OfficeMax sell $200 Visa gift cards that have an activation fee of $7.95. To get the $15 instant discount, you need to spend at least $300. To maximize credit card rewards, it’s best to purchase two $200 Visa gift cards, which will cost you $415.90. Take off $15 at the register and you’re paying just $400.90. So you’re just paying 90 cents extra, but let’s also look at the points that you can earn.
If you have a Chase Ink Plus or Chase Ink Cash card, you would earn 2005 Ultimate Rewards points. You can also use a Amex SimplyCash Plus Business Card which earns 5% cashback at office supply stores as well. That would give you $20.05 in cashback. However Chase Ink Plus/Cash would be my choices as UR points are more valuable than cash and Amex has been cracking down on gift card purchases.
Also link your credit cards with Dosh and Rakuten to earn extra cash cash back for in-store purchases at Office Depot.
Guru’s Wrap-Up
This Office Depot visa gift card deal is a good opportunity to get free Ultimate Rewards points, or just cashback. Definitely worth a trip if you have a location nearby. The deal starts today, and will go on for a week. But make your way to your nearest location sooner than later, before they run out of stock.
Make sure you have ways to liquidate these cards as there have been some big issues recently. If everything else fails you can always just use the cards everywhere Visa is accepted. That would be the same as earning 5X on all your purchases.
