Via Doctor of Credit, you can buy $100 Nordstrom gift cards at Staples.com for $90 through July 18, 2015 (tomorrow!). These are physical gift cards, but shipping is free. The limit is 1 per customer.
You should get the gift card in time for Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale, which runs through August 3, 2015!
Remember, the Chase Ink Plus & Ink Business Cash Credit Card earn 5X Chase Ultimate Rewards points per $1 spent at office supply stores. And AMEX SimplyCash earns 5% back per $1 spent at US office supply stores.
So you can earn 450 bonus Chase Ultimate Rewards points or $4.50 back.
You could also try to click through to Staples from a shopping portal.
Gift cards are NOT supposed to count for shopping portal bonuses, but it never hurts to try!
In my experience, some gift cards DO count. So it’s worth clicking through just in case!
