Staples waives purchase fees on 200 dollar Mastercard gift cards

Office supply retailer Staples has launched a promotion waiving purchase fees on 200 dollar Mastercard gift cards, Frequent Miler reported. The promotion runs from Sunday, October 11, 2026, through Saturday, October 17, 2026. Travelers and credit card rewards enthusiasts often use these fee-free sales to generate high volumes of points by purchasing gift cards at office supply outlets. [1]

According to Frequent Miler, the official purchase limit is set at nine gift cards per customer each day. Buying the maximum daily allowance equals 1,800 dollars in total purchases per day. Frequent Miler noted that individual store locations may occasionally allow customers to purchase more than the official nine-card daily limit. [1]

Mastercard operates an international payment network that supports credit, debit, and contactless transaction products across more than 210 countries and territories. These gift cards function on that broader global payment infrastructure. [2]

This fee waiver allows buyers to earn credit card rewards without paying the customary upfront card activation fees. The promotional pricing remains available at participating Staples locations until stores close on October 17, 2026. [1]
