Office Depot and OfficeMax stores have returned with its profitable gift card deal on Visa gift cards through 4/20/24.
The Deal
- Buy $300+ Visa gift cards at Office Depot/OfficeMax & get $15 off instantly.
Key Terms
- Valid April 14-20, 2024.
- Limit 10 per household/business (different stores may try to impose various limits that don’t correspond to the ad).
Quick Thoughts
As always with these deals, the best option is to buy in three card increments as Office Depot/Max gives a $15 discount for every $300 you spend. Buying three cards means you’re spending $600, which takes off $30. Buying nine cards means you should get $90 off, but YMMV as to whether a store will let you do that.
For every three cards you buy you’ll pay $23.85 in fees (3x$7.95), giving you a net $6.15 in profit in addition to any additional rewards. Buying nine cards at a time triples both the profit and rewards (but will likely involve an ID check to make sure that the payment that you’re using is yours).
In addition, it’s worth keeping an eye out for linked offers that might stack.

Both of my Office Depot’s stores managers mentioned that Blackhawk had recently done a gift card reset. It sounds to me that the Everywhere Visa gift cards will not be replenished.
Aah. That probably explains why my local one had an empty rack for the entire section of Everywhere cards 🙁
time will tell if I am correct on Everywhere cards. One manager said they would be carrying ancillary GC only. Who knows how accurate any of this information. we will find out in the coming months.
My local Office Depot is not selling MCG/VGC’s due to a activation issue. Not sure whats going on but this has been going on for the second week now.
this blog is informative
Does this work with the variable value loading visa giftcards up to 500? (i.e., can you buy 3x of them at 500 each for 1500 dollars, which would give you 15×5-6.95×3 off? or is the offer only applicable to fixed value visa giftcards?
No it doesn’t. It’s for fixed-value $200 cards only.
Weird but I actually got the offer to work on variable load Visa cards today in SLC.
Interesting. Which denominations did you buy?
I had them load 200 per card (that was the max allowable amount for the 20-200 cards) for 3 cards
I bot $20-$200 variable Visa GC without any issues. discount was processed correctly.
does this work online?
Just tried this at my store in Georgia. Did not ring up with discount.
Did you happen to grab variable load cards by mistake?
Does this include ordering Visa gift cards online or only in store ?
Help! The last few times I’ve gone into my local Office Max to take advantage of the promotion they’ve have no idea what I’m talking about. Where can I find the “official” offer from the company? Thanks.
Just bring the gift cards up to the register. The discount will ring up automatically.
Data Point for my Office Max in Tempe, AZ.
That store wouldn’t let me do 2 transactions.
I had 8 cards I wanted to purchase using 2 different cards.
They wouldn’t allow it.
She said you’re only allowed to buy gift cards once a day on 1 transaction.
I’m standing there thinking, show me the fine print on that, it’s not by the GC’s.
I also asked what amount sets off the manager override approval, she thought it was $400.00 in GC’s.
Does anyone know if these MetaBank visa gift cards can still be used for money orders at Walmart/Kroger/etc.? I read that there was a $99 limit implemented in 2020 but these gift cards still seem to be very popular so there must be some easy way to liquidate them!
Buy $400 Visa GC and see what happens when you attempt to purchase a MO. I do not attempt MO.
DOSH has an in store 5% back offer (max $5.50) for linked card.
“Limit 10 discounts per household/business ($1,000 total in gift cards) ”
how is this $1000 only? is it not $3000?
That’s a typo probably, it should be $3k max you can buy and get 10x $15 off, but good luck with many stores selling that much.
Does this work for reaching the SUB spend on an Amex Business Gold? I read somewhere that Amex frowns on this.
Usually not recommended to do gift cards and MS for Amex signup bonus. But for regular spend usually less of an issue but ymmv
I don’t see the weekly ad option on the website anymore.
How are yall getting notified about the gift card deals, or where are yall finding the offers now?
Question this – So i went to my local office max, tried buying 3 at a time and their POS system failed the transaction a few times, like failed to activate the cards, Failed three of the transaction and succeeded two, so I have like 5 -590 transactions on my card and three +590, debating if I should try again tomorrow to go get some more or just hold off as It looks like i have so many transactions on my card?
