This is the master thread for all VGC and MCGC sold at Staples.
The previous discussion can be found here.
The VGCs sold at Staples are issued by Metabank and serviced by Blackhawk Network.
The activation code for online purchase comes with the card. Cards purchased at store are activated at check-out.
To activate cards over the phone (without activation codes), call (877) 426-2551 to talk to a rep.
To activate cards over the web, www.giftcardkey.com.
The default PIN number is the last four digits of the card number but can be changed online.
As of 5/12/2014, all known portals are dead.
Earn 5x points with Chase Ink, or Simply Cash for 5% cash back
Buy Visa gift cards (Metabank) at Staples ($200 for $7.95) or the website ($300 for $8.95).
2k Limit per transaction / 10k per day for online. In-store is usually 2k but YMMV
Often times, there are promotions with no or reduced activation fees

Buy 5B with Freedom Unlimited
Buy 2 $300 for 617.90 and use $500 on 5B and Ink for the rest.
Liquidate using MO or BB or BP.
Get lots of points for free.
Looks like the $300's are out of stock.

Ink does not give you 5x points in simon mall, right?
I am only seeing $100 spending on INK which gives you 500 points
which card do you use to buy 5B?
