到Staples買$200 Visa/MasterCard得$30 Staples Gift Card（11/24/2012截止）

更新

現在Staples的系統已經改成無論你買幾張Visa/Mastercard Prepaid Cards，一次交易就只能拿一張$15 Staples Gift Card的easy rebate。所以如果你要拿滿$150 Staples Gift Cards，就要分開來買10次。而且現在改成只能mail-in rebate。
_____________________

現在到Staples零售店買$200 Visa/MasterCard Prepaid Card（加上$6.95 Activation Fee）可以得到$30 Staples Gift Card（限零售店使用），到11/24/2012截止。
買$100 Visa/MasterCard Prepaid Card（加上$5.95 Activation Fee）可以得到$15 Staples Gift Card。
每一個姓名/住址限10張$15 Staples Gift Cards（或5張$30 Staples Gift Cards），也就是總額$1000的prepaid cards。所以如果你要多買一些的話，就要用不同的姓名/住址/電郵地址去申請rebate，而且買的時候不要用Staples Rewards會員號碼。

使用步驟：
1. 到Staples零售店買$200 Visa/MasterCard Prepaid Cards
2. 到Staples Easy Rebates網站登記這些Rebates。
3. 4-6週內會寄來Staples Gift Cards。

如果你想要把Staples Gift Card轉賣的話，可以經過topcashback.com到cardpool.com賣掉Staples Gift Card。Cardpool以84折收購Staples Gift Card。透過topcashback去cardpool賣gift card的前$1000可以拿到4% cashback。

假設你有Chase Ink Bold/Plus卡的話，Staples的消費可以拿到5 Ultimate Rewards points（相當於5 UA/KE/BA miles/$）。
再把這些Vsia/MasterCard在日常生活中拿來消費。

現在來個簡單計算：
用Chase Ink Bold/Plus卡去Staples買10張$200 Visa Prepaid Cards。
花費$206.95X10=$2069.5
得到$300 Staples Gift Cards與10350 Ultimate Rewards Points。

$300 Staples Gift Cards可以經過topcashback.com到cardpool賣掉，
從Cardpool拿到$252
從Topcashback拿到$10.08

所以總計花費$2069.5得到
$2000的Visa/MasterCard Prepaid Cards
$262.08 cash
10350 Ultimate Rewards points

基本上只要是有賺點數/cashback/miles的信用卡來參加這個活動是划算的。

說明：如果你使用我的Topcashback推薦連結加入，我會得到推薦獎勵。謝謝。
