Staples.com AMEX Offer: Spend $100, Receive $25 Statement Credit

Share this post

Good morning everyone, here is a hot offer that won’t last long.  Receive a $25 statement credit after spending $100 or more on your enrolled American Express credit card.  This offer showed up on all 6 of my AMEX credit cards, but none of my Serve Cards,  I believe enrollment is limited, so enroll all your AMEX cards as soon as you can before enroll fills up.

Staples AMEX Offer

I bought a $200 Visa Gift Card and received the confirmation email right away.

      Shipping is free for Visa Gift Cards, but you still pay the $6.95 activation fee. Staples.com does sell many eGift Cards for many retailers, like Southwest Airlines. All eGift Cards come with free shipping.

      Just don’t tell American Express ;)

      99% of the time, if a charge goes through the merchant, American Express will pay out the statement credit.

      I believe it will work on Visa Gift Card purchases, unless American Express starts to block all $206.95 purchases from earning $25 statement credit. We will have to wait and see what happens.

    I know people have been getting the “thank you for using your card” messages but I have not seen where anyone actually RECEIVED the credit!! Little nervous to move forward on this one!

    Let us know once Am Ex has posted your credit. I was going to buy a card and also something else to pick up at the store so my amount charged wouldn’t look just like a gift card…but I will wait and see if people actually receive their credits!!

      Since today is Friday, the charge might not post until Saturday or Sunday to my AMEX credit card. The statement credit usually posts 2-3 days after that initial charge posts to my credit card. Since this offer will be around for a few weeks, waiting is not the worst thing to do right now.

    Wow… Amex must like me today. I had it on 8 of 8 cards between me and my wife. 2 of them were authorized user cards. Grant, can you confirm that if I’ve added the offer to both the primary card and the authorized user card, that I can effectively get the bonus twice on that card (assuming I make two different $100 purchases – one with the primary and the other with the AU)?

      Congrats, someone at American Express must really like you today. Since authorized user cards have different credit card numbers, the offer should be valid on both cards.

    Will the 25.00 amex credit work if i buy an Outback gift card for 100.00 at staples.com too?
    I already see the promotion on my amex offers.

      That is the million 25 dollar question. I bought a $200 Visa Gift Cards and a $100 Southwest Airlines eGift Card, so I will let you know as soon as I can if the statement credits post for those purchases.

        Grant why did you buy $200 GC instead of a $100 GC? Are you able to split payment b/t 2 cards online like you can in store?

    Now that, its 12th, Grant, do you know if you got the statement credit yet? I have got it on 9 cards including my wife’s, so dont exactly know what to do if Gift cards are not working. !!!
    Waiting for experts to share their experience. !!!

    I made a purchase of 206.95 VGC on 1/9 but it is still not posted in my Amex card. And of course, no 25 statement credit……

      The purchase took about a week to post to my AMEX account. I believe the charge is pending until Staples actually ships/processes the order. The statement credit posted 2 days later in both cases.

    Grant – I was successful with this offer – thanks for the tip! Now how can I best turn the gift card back into cash? Serve? PayPal? Others? I am sure you have written about this, so if possible, maybe just post a link?

      There are many ways to liquidate the gift cards, any method will work. Do you have a Redbird, Bluebird, or Serve Card? If so, you can set a PIN and unload the card at Walmart or Target.

            ;-) Thank God for the kiosk. Not sure I could bear it otherwise. I need to find a Redbird card so I can skip Walmart altogether. Have you heard anything about them finding their way to SoCal yet?

          2. Eric

            I was successful! But only after talking to three people. No cashiers could help me, and thought the woman at the money center was doubtful, it worked! Now my question is this: can I load only visa gift cards like that from Staples to Serve, or can I load other types of gift cards, such as those from retailers?

Got something to say?
