Second that but if 8x from UR mall is given for online orders, that would be very tempting.
Although given how stringent Staples is with handing easy rebates (such as $15 on MC card last month), I'd rather not try.

This coupon is found on retailmenot. You can go there and it directs you to the same link.

you can also get the same coupon going through UR mall, there's a "Get $20 off your online order of $100 or more at Staples.com!" link which generates the same thing.

If you are going to risk multiple orders, you probably should use a different CC, billing address, phone, etc.

Slight variations will cause the system to see different people and it would require manual scrutiny to determine a dupe. Besides, this is what friends (and extra business addresses, credit cards, etc.) are for!

Remember, this is a coupon they are distributing widely. They're not going to view it as abuse if you order a GC using the promo, tell your friend about it and he does the same, etc.

Also, some people couldn't care less if they are "banned" from Staples. If "banned", easy to get around anyway.

Correct, and with the extra points earned, this is the way to go.

If you want multiple codes, use Chrome and Incognito.

Used it for a Southwest GC. Just saw the confirmation email and I was charged sales tax. Tax did not appear when I placed order.

Coupon works as of a minute ago. $100 VGC for $86.95. Order confirmation received.

We'll see if I get a shipment or a phone call.

I would think multiple orders would be considered abuse. One order is a staples system mistake and someone (me) not reading the coupon terms.

In for 3, 85 cents for 2100 UR points not a bad deal. confirmation email received.

Why would you incur 85c? Just about any way that I can think of liquidating these cards I still end up MAKING money, not losing it.

. . .or wait. . .you mean that you used one coupon for a purchase of three cards, duh. :p

It didnt at first. It said something like it had already been used. I would guess since I left it open on my computer for a whole before attempting to buy, it got used elsewhere

I used the code from RMN, worked for three, got e-mail confirmation. We'll see if they actually ship. If it does then I will be ordering more to my work addresses as we have three different ones.
