To equate $500 you would have to buy from Staples [(6.95 x 2) + (5.95 x 1)] = $19.85 vs. $4.95 from CVS.
I think the missing element here is the 5 X Chase Ink Card.
See my post above regarding fees at 5 X

Each $200. card equals 1000 points/miles with only 1 $6.95 fee with Ink Card (not 5 cards for 1000 points)

The TITLE of this thread is: Visa gift cards online through Staples w/ Ink
So...we are talking about 5X per $ at Staples (or OM or OD)
