Update 9/27/20: Dosh has decreased the cashback rate from 6% to 2%. The limit is still $5 cashback per day, so that now works out to be $250 of spend to max it out.

Update 9/12/20: Dosh recently changed the terms of their offer for Staples and now requires that you click through to Staples from the app before paying with a Dosh-linked card. This is being enforced by Dosh and means you can no longer stack it with cashback/rewards through a shopping portal.
Dosh will still likely be your best option for cheaper purchases, but for more expensive purchases from Staples online you’ll probably be better off clicking through from a shopping portal due to Dosh’s limit of $5 cashback.

Dosh has increased the cashback rate for purchases on Staples.com to 6% which can be stacked with shopping portal rewards and bonused spend on cards offering more at office supply stores.
The Deal
- Earn
6%2% cashback on purchases from Staples.com when paying with a card linked in the Dosh app. - If you’re new to Dosh, feel free to sign up using one of our referral links. We’ll earn $5 when you sign up and connect and verify your first card, but I’m not entirely sure what you’ll receive as a signup bonus. It used to be $5, then they reduced it to $1 a couple of months ago, but I’m not sure if it’s gone back up now or not.

- Gift cards are excluded from cash back offer.
Quick Thoughts
When Dosh first started offering cash back on purchases from Staples.com a few months ago, there was no gift card exclusion and you could earn up to $20 cashback per day. They subsequently added a gift card exclusion and many people had all kinds of issues getting their cashback honored for gift card orders placed before the exclusion was added. The $20 cashback limit was also reduced to $5, making the offer less enticing.
The rate Dosh offered later dropped to 2%, then it increased to 4%. They’ve now increased the rate to 6% which means that you’ll earn the $5 maximum cashback per day when spending $83.33. Now that the rate is back down to 2%, you’ll max out the daily limit of $5 cashback when spending $250 online.
While that may or may not work on gift card purchases, it’s still a decent offer for regular purchases seeing as it’s a card-linked benefit. That means you can click through from a shopping portal for cashback/rewards and pay with a card that earns more at office supply stores like a Chase Ink Cash or Ink Plus card for 5%/5x. You’ll then earn 6% 2% cashback from Dosh provided you’ve linked the payment card in their app.

Yes, it’s me with the awkward question…. Does Office Depot still work through a portal? Might be too early to know. As always, very grateful for the “heads up.”
I’m not sure about the Office Depot offer I’m afraid.
When I log into the app Staples is not available. what am I missing?
Some offers in Dosh are targeted, so that might be why you’re not seeing it. It’s listed under Online Offers though – it’s not an in-store deal.

I want to buy regular airpods, not the Pro. At $129 they fall right in the middle where they would earn $7.76 from Dosh if Dosh didn’t cap at $5. Using portal instead, TopCashback is only 3% and Rakuten is only 2% so unfortunately the Dosh $5 cap is the best.
Avoid, haven’t people learned after the last debacle.
Those issues were related to people buying gift cards. The purpose of this post was more to highlight that it’s a decent offer for regular merchandise purchases seeing as you can stack it with shopping portal earnings and a 5x card.
Not showing up for me, so YMMV.
Same for me. Definitely YMMV.
