Staples rewards are only 5% once you pass a $$ threshold now, so I don't know if the first $XX are actually at 5% anymore, they might only be 2% and 3%.
What exactly do you mean?

I thought OP meant using Ink card at Staples to buy AMZN GCs would get him 5% in bonus category spend.

Are you saying Ink card now does not give 5% at Staple spend until you pass a threshold? Or something totally different and not what the OP has in mind?
