Buy discounted Staples/Office Max GCs for Visa/MC GCs

Hi...tried a search on this couldn't find it...thought i would post.

raise.com is having a 48hr sale for $5 off $70 in gift cards with this coupon: RA0560NG (credit to slick deals)

Buy staples or office max gift cards (staples at up to 9% off)

Use gift card combined with Ink at Staples/Office max (YMMV but I have had success doing this when bundling with other items) to get discounted VISA/MCs....

Except that (1) most locations do not allow using store GCs to buy Visa/AMEX GCs; and (2) the only "discount" you're getting is on the portion of the GCs paid for via a card that presumably only earns 1 point per dollar on raise.com purchases.

HaHa. Not only will you have to get the cashier (or Mgr. likely) to let you use a GC for a GC (highly unlikely since it's against their rules) but then you'll have to split the payment too!!
Um. Thanks.

Sorry i didn't know it was hard to use the staples gift cards for the majority. For me the cashier just swiped them and ran them through (I just did this yesterday buying 4 200 GCs). No issue at all.
