I tried using a 100$ vgc but the site doesn't take it. Is the prepaid card option only for vgc/agc bought at staples?

The agc I used on staples.com via the prepaid option was bought at Ralphs, not Staples. But vgc can be issued by several different banks, and maybe Staples only recognizes some of those issuers as prepaid.

I prefer to buy a iTunes 1x$100 and 1x$50, since they discounted 15% this works out to $127.50-$20=$107.50

$150 of iTunes at 28.3% off is more useful to me, than the VGC.

I did buy a Hyatt egift on one of my cards also.

YMMV.

Go to Staples > Shop by Category > Gift Cards & Gift Shop

There's a "Featured Categories" scroller. Go all the way right and do "Shop All Categories"

On the left, Narrow By: Deals > On Promotion

I'm not the only one then. Thanks for that. Though I got gas gift cards, so I "just" lost out on 4% CB. Grrr. Trying to do too many things at once.

They are likely referring to the additional 4x points they could have made by purchasing the gas GCs with an Ink card rather than whatever AmEx was used.

Aren't these VISA cards available via Staples online those Metabank cards only good for use as ice scrappers if you liquidate via USPS MO?
