YMMV. It depends on your liquidation methods and how easy your Staples really is (can you do $2k per run?). There are still portals out there giving 1% on GCM, so those come in $500 increments and I don't have to enter a BM store. Fees come out to .0026x for me personally after the 1% from the portal. I'm happy to pay that and have 2/5 the amount of swipes for MO purposes for a 1x card like the AA Exec. Now the Ink is a different story, as that is worth it for me.
