Earn Credit Card Rewards
The significance of this deal is not simply being able to buy a MasterCard gift card with no activation fee, but that you can pay for it with a credit card.
Use your credit card to buy the gift cards and earn rewards from your program without having to actually buy any products.
For example, if you’re a Chase Ink Business Cash cardholder, you can earn 5x Ultimate Rewards at office supply stores. So you would earn 1,000 UR points for each $200 purchase with this Staples offer. You can do that up to the offer limit of 8 purchases per day to earn up to 8,000 UR points per day. Your cash would be stored in the gift cards for future purchases.
You can also use these purchases to meet spending requirements. If you wanted to apply for one of the credit cards with generous welcome bonuses listed here, but were wary of the amount you needed to spend, here’s one way to help you meet the requirement.
Take the American Express Platinum Card, for example. You need to spend $6,000 in 3 months to earn their generous signup bonus. You can buy up to 8 gift cards for $1,600 per day with this Mastercard gift card deal to help you meet the spending requirement.
Bottom Line
Whether you buy the gift card as a present for someone or use it to earn rewards from your credit card, this is a nice deal.
