anyone know if the PIN for $100 VISA gift cards from Officemax is the last 4 numbers like the $200 VISA gift cards?
The $100 VISA gift cards don't say anything about the PIN on the back, unlike the $200 ones that tells you last 4 is the PIN.

Nevermind...found my answer. It's still the last 4 for $100. I just happen to get some $100 ones with old packaging that doesn't say anything about the PIN.

One store I went to had a sign up, but couldn't find the paper to scan in the binder. The manager went to his office, looked something up on the computer, and came back with the paper. The other OM I went to didn't have the sign up and couldn't find the paper to scan, but after a little prompting, he went back to his office and came out in a minute with the coupon to scan.
Lesson being, this is not a regional thing, but you may need to ask them to check to see if there is some offer that is not in their binder yet.

For those who are having problems at stores where they aren't aware of the promotion, make sure you remain very friendly and not demanding. Many of the employees love to see customers get a good deal, but simply aren't able to verify this particular promotion. Yes, the promotion is everywere, but not all locations have verification unless they really take time to dig and even then some have come up empty handed at that moment. I've had success later by checking back with the store in person to see if they had located what they needed to make the deal work at their store, but only because one employee recalled a bit about this and he kept investigating (the store was not busy at all so they had time).
Also, some stores in possible problem areas unrelated to ms'ing are being very stringent on how many you can purchase and some even call Chase for approval on small amounts which is rediculous. Those stores I'm avoiding. When they do that, most are unwilling to get the temp authorization amount removed from your account (which they caused when they called Chase) which is taking away from your cl that day. That also seems to get the cc flagged more later that day when you try to purchase more at another location. For some locations in certain states, this promotion may not be worth your time and hassle. For others its a nice promotion if you haven't already gotten close to your 50k spend limit on your 5% cc. for the year.

Local store here in pdx area.... No sign and rep & manager couldn't verify the promotion either after looking thru the binder for 30 mins.... Going to try another location but any data points from those who got this to work at stores that don't have the sign up???

True. In other circles, most of the hh finished out their limits in quick fashion and some also got canned by Chase (spent too fast and too many supply stores per day according to their guesses).

Well thats just not smart. Given theres a limit, theres no reason not to split it up each month.

Went to one store did $2.4 K in 1 transaction, took $20 off at each $300 increment with one code scan, made me fill out a form with my ID info on it.
After 1 hour went to another store, did 1.2 K and code only took of one $20. Had to ring them up separately. Strange , but with a glance on code book , both codes labels looked little different. Need to check again to confirm.

So Cal, visited two different stores, neither had signs and none of the employees knew of any promotion. Even went as far as talking to the manager. Since I had nothing to show for the promotion, and they can not find anything about it, there was nothing I can do. So I left with a rim of paper for my daughters xmas list
