Minor Updates: Staples Visa GC Rebate, Amazon GCs at Lowe’s, and Tape at FedEx Office

Good afternoon everyone, this is an update to a few of my recent posts.  Yesterday, Staples ran an Easy Rebate on Visa Gift Cards (purchase $250 or more in Visa Gift Cards and receive a $20 Visa Gift Card as a rebate).  I called around to a few local Staples stores and only one had a few $200 VGCs in stock.  I told the cashier to hold 2 cards for me and I quickly drove over.  After talking to the cashier, he mentioned that they should receive a new shipment of gift cards that evening.  If I wanted more, I should call back tonight or tomorrow morning to see if the gift cards arrive.  If you have not picked up your VGCs, I would call around to see if your local Staples stores have any VGCs available or when a new shipment of VGCs should arrive.

All New AMEX Offers: Lowe’s, FedEx Office, Chevron, Best Western, and More!

(Hat Tip to Frequent Miler)

Good morning everyone, AMEX just loaded a bunch of great AMEX offers onto my AMEX credit cards.  Some of my favorite offers include Lowe’s, FedEx Office, Chevron, and Best Western.  Below that, I have 11 other AMEX offers (mostly restaurants).  If you are interested in these offers, you better add these offers to your cards ASAP before the limit fills up.

Frequent Miler’s post recommends buying gift cards and splitting tender to only use $50 at a time.  I might buy a few gift cards and do self checkout, if possible.
