I have an Ink Business Preferred card (for my business) and it does not get me anything at Staples unless I ship something from Staples and even that is only 3 points/dollar. This card is good for my business only, not MS.
My Citi card experience has been elaborated in prior posts. (AA Executive card). Citi declines any GC purchase at SM, no matter what I do to to forestall it. Once declined, SM will not allow the card to be used for 24 hours, so calling to get the decline reversed is also worthless. My Ink card is an actual business card (preferred card) and it has no 5% anything on it. As cards go, it is pretty meh.
So my simple choice is to wait for a GC sale that is worthwhile at OD/OM/Staples.
