I also tried some coupon codes to knock off the fess but staples is smarter than that and VGCs proved to be ineligible items. I would do 2x UR, which should be perfect for canceling the VGC fee if it actually awarded the points.
I believe Rakuten doesn't track based off of DPs i read somewhere but not sure about topcashback
