Is It Still Worth Buying Visa Gift Cards at Staples?
You can buy $200 Visa gift cards for a fee of ~$7 at Staples which can be loaded to your Bluebird card to pay bills which normally can’t be paid with a credit card.
When you use your Ink Bold, Ink Cash, or Ink Plus card at Staples you earn 5X Chase Ultimate Rewards points which can be transferred to airlines and hotels:
| Chase Ultimate Rewards Airline Transfer Partners | ||
|---|---|---|
| Aer Lingus | British Airways | Flying Blue (Air France/KLM) |
| Iberia | JetBlue | Singapore Airlines |
| Southwest | United Airlines | Virgin Atlantic |
| Chase Ultimate Rewards Hotel Transfer Partners | ||
|---|---|---|
| Hyatt | IHG | Marriott |
| Ritz-Carlton |
Emily and I use Chase Ultimate Rewards points to get Big Travel for Small Money. If you do the same, it could make sense to spend ~$7 to get ~1,035 Chase Ultimate Rewards points (~$207 for the Visa Gift Card X 5 points per $1 spent at office supply stores.)
That’s because those 1,035 Chase Ultimate Rewards points are worth ~$20 in travel when you transfer to partner airlines and hotels. But even as a statement credit, 1,035 Chase Ultimate Rewards points are worth ~$10.
Some folks might find it convenient to buy these gift cards at Staples.com while other folks have different methods to load Bluebird that they like better.
As always, do what’s comfortable for you!
Other Ways to Save Money on Visa Gift Cards at Staples
Because Staples frequently offers rebates when you buy gift cards it makes sense to keep buying them at Staples.
