FYI, the scan sheet says limit 1, so if your store doesnt have signage, good luck getting them to give you 2 if they are normally a stickler store (mine normally lets me get everything and for the first time restricted me to just 1, waste of time /sigh)

There's been reports of Chase shutdowns for those who go bananas hopping from one office supply store to the next and buying an abnormal amount of gcs at each store regardless of each store allowing the person to buy large amounts. Also heard this from a friend at a certain office store who confirmed this (some of his regular gc customers got canned by Chase, not by store). Surely this won't affect those only getting 2 per store, but it may adversely affect others. Beware if you value your relationship with Chase and use self control when entering OM or Staples for gcs.

You can get $40 off in a transaction if you buy 3 X $200, with only one scan of the coupon.
Oddly enough, the coupon shows up on the receipt as $40 off $300. Has anyone tried purchasing just $300 (or $400), did it take $20 or $40 off?

Which is why I was surprised they were bothering to close some accounts. I think must of us have felt like since they had the cap we could do no wrong, but it seems they haven't liked some who try to get to that threshold in a short period of time.

Three clerks at my local Office Max did not know how to ring up the $20 off. They got the sign down off the rack and then proceeded to look at all their "scan sheets" . . . nothing. One clerk said "you have to buy the $300 gift card". I told them they didn't have one so I was getting 2 $200 ones. They proceeded to give me $20 cash -- sweet!!!

This deal is not available in all Office Max locations. I'm here in Ohio for the next couple weeks and so far in this area (NE Ohio) haven't found an OM that has this deal (no sign, no scannable code at registers, manager have no knowledge of it or emails). So far, it looks like it's select areas or the third party who stocks the stores and puts up the signage hasn't made it to all locations in this area. One store even went through the purchase process hoping the offer was available and nothing. Disappointed.

No, its pretty much a nationwide deal, whether or not your stores know about it. It took the cashier at mine like 15 minutes to figure it out and go print out a scan sheet for it (they didnt have one at the register). It just depends on how good of customer service you have at your OM....
