This is the master thread for all VGC and MCGC sold at Staples.
The previous discussion can be found here.
The VGCs sold at Staples are issued by Metabank and serviced by Blackhawk Network.
The activation code for online purchase comes with the card. Cards purchased at store are activated at check-out.
To activate cards over the phone (without activation codes), call (877) 426-2551 to talk to a rep.
To activate cards over the web, www.giftcardkey.com.
The default PIN number is the last four digits of the card number but can be changed online.
As of 5/12/2014, all known portals are dead.
Earn 5x points with Chase Ink, or Simply Cash for 5% cash back
Buy Visa gift cards (Metabank) at Staples ($200 for $7.95) or the website ($300 for $8.95).
2k Limit per transaction / 10k per day for online. In-store is usually 2k but YMMV
Often times, there are promotions with no or reduced activation fees

The early/mid May rebate I am still missing 1 out of my 5, although that one is out of town this week so it may have arrived. The late may rebate/early june rebate(s) I haven't' received any of them, as I anticipate all other people are in the same category. I always do at least one rebate the Sunday it comes out so I should always receive those first.

Just received rebate from the most recent vgc promo, it's slightly different than the previous rebates. This card has a label on it that says call to activate and the letter says it has to be ran as credit even though it's a debit card. Will see if it still works as debit using last 4 as pin anyway whenever I get around to liquidating it.
