We are an independent publisher. Our reporters create honest, accurate, and objective content to help you make decisions. To support our work, we are paid for providing advertising services. Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Next” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. The compensation we receive and other factors, such as your location, may impact what ads and links appear on our site, and how, where, and in what order ads and links appear. While we strive to provide a wide range of offers, our site does not include information about every product or service that may be available to you. We strive to keep our information accurate and up-to-date, but some information may not be current. So, your actual offer terms from an advertiser may be different than the offer terms on this site. And the advertised offers may be subject to additional terms and conditions of the advertiser. All information is presented without any warranty or guarantee to you.

This page may include: credit card ads that we may be paid for (“advertiser listing”); and general information about credit card products (“editorial content”). Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Apply Now” button or “Learn More” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. When you click on that hyperlink or button, you may be directed to the credit card issuer’s website where you can review the terms and conditions for your selected offer. Each advertiser is responsible for the accuracy and availability of its ad offer details, but we attempt to verify those offer details. We have partnerships with advertisers such as Brex, Capital One, Chase, Citi, Wells Fargo and Discover. We also include editorial content to educate consumers about financial products and services. Some of that content may also contain ads, including links to advertisers’ sites, and we may be paid on those ads or links.

    Earn an Easy ~$18 in Profit on a $100 Visa Gift Card With Staples and AMEX Offers

    How to Do the Deal

    Link:   How to Register Your American Express Card for AMEX Offers

    Link:   How to Get the AMEX Offer Credit More Than Once

    1.   Sign-In to Your AMEX Account to See If You Got the Offer

    Sign-in to your American Express account and click “Amex Offers For You” to see if you’ve received the offer.  Check all of your card accounts!  You might get it more than once.  Do NOT save the offer yet!

    Check Each of Your AMEX Accounts for the Offer, but Don’t Save It Yet!

    2.   Save the Offer to Your AMEX Card(s)

    Before you save the offer to your card, read my instructions on how to get an AMEX offer more than once.  Open each of your AMEX cards in a separate browser tab, then save the offer to each card.

    If you don’t do this, you’ll only get the offer on the 1st card you save the offer to.

    Once you’ve added the offer, you’ll see a confirmation that it’s been added to your card.  Note that the fine print says gift cards are NOT included.  But I tried anyway, because sometimes the fine print doesn’t always stick with AMEX Offers!

    You’ll See a Confirmation That the Offer Has Been Added to Your Card

    3.   Use Your AMEX Card to Buy a $100 Visa Gift Card at Staples

    Go to the Staples website and search for a $100 Visa gift card.  Don’t forget to go through a shopping portal 1st to earn extra points!  The gift card looks like this:

    You’ll Pay ~$107 for a $100 Visa Gift Card at Staples

    I used my American Express card to pay for the gift card (after adding the AMEX Offer).  Shipping is free.

    Free Shipping Makes the Deal Even Sweeter!

    4.   Check Your Email!

    You should get a confirmation email from American Express shortly after you order the gift card.  It will confirm that you’ve used the AMEX Offer at Staples.

    Congrats, Indeed! Thank You AMEX Offers!

    In my experience, it usually takes a few days for the statement credit to appear on your American Express account.  But receiving a confirmation email means the AMEX Offer has been triggered.

    5.   Repeat for Other AMEX Cards

    If you’ve registered your other American Express cards for the offer, repeat the purchase using each of your different cards.

    You should receive the gift card(s) in the mail in a few days.  Use them for:

    And because you’re getting $25 back on your purchase, you’ll earn a profit of ~$18 ($25 AMEX statement credit – ~$7 card purchase fee) per registered card.  Plus you’ll earn miles and points for your purchase (and any extra points by going through a shopping portal).

    That’s an awesome deal!  I don’t expect it to last.

    Bottom Line

    Through AMEX Offers, you can get $25 off a $100 Staples purchase online.  It’s targeted, so not everyone will get it.

    After registering your card, you can buy a $100 Visa gift card on the Staples website and it will trigger the offer.  You’ll earn a profit of ~$18, plus miles and points for your purchase.

    If you have more than 1 American Express account, follow these instructions to add the AMEX offer to all of your cards.  Then you can do the deal more than once!

    Act quickly!  This will NOT last long.  Good luck!
