Did you also purchase them in either PA or NY?

Purchase what?

I didn't use the card in question to buy any gift cards. I have only made purchases where I live in PA.

What a coincidence that one of the suspects is from Brooklyn, NY.

No $200 here but grabbed 21 of the $100 variety for more than 10k ultimate rewards and slight money maker

Tip: Ask for the $200 MCs. They were in the back and it was no issue to ask for them.

Me too. The clerk said "they" send them "kind of randomly" and they never know when a shipment of the gift cards will come in.

I would like to congratulate my shadowy nemesis for somehow snapping up every single freaking one of the $200 cards in my sleepy little 'burb OM before I could get there. Bravo! Next time leave me just one?

Tried another OM, no sign and no $200 cards (they don't even carry them).

No $200 Visa available at my OM today, plenty of $200 MC. First time I bought a stack of MCs (I also left some for the rest of you guys ) - do they work pretty much like the Visa? If not, could someone please point me to a post describing the differences, either here or via PM.

Thanks in advance.

By the way, when I asked one of the guys to check in the magic cabinet I looked over his shoulder and saw a bunch of variable load Visa cards with a design I had never seen. Didn't have much time so I didn't ask about those and risk them not working for the promo.

To set the pin follow the directions here: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/manuf...bit-cards.html You will have to call on the MC.

Requires the workaround at registers.

No $200 Visa/MC and the $100 were limited but I bought some. Somehow cashier messed up entering in the promotion and nothing was taken off. He got the manager and then things got fun.

We looked at the sign and even though it says 2 per household he said he didn't care and would only honor 1. He went on to rant about how he had to call my credit card to get permission for anything over $200 in giftcards. We walked back to cashier area and he did refund $20 to my credit card but said he needed to see licence and he walks off with them. I asked him where he was going and he went and made a copy of my credit card and licence. Then he got on his mic thing and went on rant to staff about how "f*cking ___ rang up over $200 without asking manager and calling credit card don't do this." I tried a little more to get him to fix it but he was loosing it so I left.

Called support and they say they can't do anything only store manager can...fun

Only $200 mcs at my location were usbank issued. No metabank in stock over $50 today so I left empty handed. Was I correct that promo does not work on usbank issued cards?

Worked for me. No VISAs, so I bought MasterCard GCs.

Officemax is literally the worst store ever, dont know how they are still in business with such crappy levels of service. They have no redressal mechanisms in place. So if you have a complaint, it just goes to the person you are complaining against.
