Thanks for the heads up! In for two. No 4X on eBay purchases, but did get the 1.2%, 2X eBay cash back, and hopefully 5X on points with Ink. Thanks again!!!
Anyone received $5 ebay coupon yet? $100 came through…
^Got it…
I’m not able to pay with ANY credit card in my PayPal account. I keep getting an error message: “This credit card cannot be used at this time. Please select another payment method.” Wondering if this is widespread or just my account. Perhaps related to Jeff’s comment above mine?
I am having the same issue. I have heard of others who have had problems in the past with certain deals as well. There doesn’t seem to be a fix either unfortunately.
Thanks, Shawn…that’s reassuring (not just my account), although frustrating. I Googled the issue and didn’t come up with anything, so it seems you’re right — we’re destined to miss this one 🙁
Not giving me the option to pay with any other pmt method but paypal
Shawn, thanks for the tip! Great find as always.
Something weird happened: I could not use my Ebay eGift card redemption codes to pay for these Staples GC. Always worked in the past, but I had to delete all redemption codes and pay with a CC (through Paypal) for it to go through. Paypal kept saying that it couldn’t proceed with the chosen payment method.
Just a weird hiccup you think?
Happened with me also now. I was assuming that they are cracking down on MS (both mine and my wife’s account have this issue). Interestingly, I was able to get one Staples GC through ebay GC, but I still have not received Staples GC. So maybe they could cancel that also!
Can you buy other gift cards, online or in-store, with a Staples egift card? I don’t MS, or have any use for $400 in Staples merchandise, but I would use many of the gift cards they sell.
No, unfortunately they do not allow this.
So if you don’t need office supplies, how do you turn a profit?
Buy apple products and resell on ebay
Got it!
Question…can I use the staples gift card to buy visa gift cards?
No. Staples gift cards can not be used to purchase any other gift cards.
