I am running experiments in purchases of e-gift cards on Staples.com for manufacture spend and churn (ebay, target, etc). Of course, I am using Chase Ink for purchasing, but looking for extra cashback and rewards using portals and staples rewards.

The e-gift cards description say they are eligible for 5% staples rewards, while the physical card do not list as eligible. This play only works for e-gift cards, not physical cards.

I am performing tests with various CB sites to see if they'll track, and to see if staples rewards post.

So far, I have test TCB and 3% cashback did post, however, no staples rewards posted yet (made purchase 3 days ago).

Anyone test out any of the other CB sites for e-gift cards? Upromise, Discover?

I plan on listing results chart form:

Cashback Site | E-gift Card | CB Success | Staples Reward Success | Date

TCB | Kohls | Success 3% | Fail | 5/27/15

You must be new here.

EDIT to be more helpful: no, this doesn't work. staples rewards NEVER post on gcs. rebate cash may pend but it never posts. we've been over this more times than I care to count, or i would post all the threads that have been started regarding things like this.

You are wasting your time and money, it's all been tried.

Doesn't work. Expect a clawback.

You will probably get the cash back but in a month or two expect it to be clawed back. That is the experience of many people.

Yeah... Good luck buddy. You must enjoy chasing wind.

Thanks for trying but yea I tried this too after they took away portals. Nothing over posted for me. I only get cashback on real purchases, i.e. a wireless phone charger I bought my SO for his birthday.
