You can earn 5X Ultimate Rewards shipping US mail at Staples.
When I was buying Vons and Albertsons gift cards at Staples I noticed the US Post Office sign on the outside of the building.
Staples and the US Post Office is partnering to bring the post office into participating Staples stores.
You can go to Staples to mail your things instead of waiting in line at the post office and get 5X Ultimate Rewards points when you use your Chase Ink Bold or Chase Ink Plus.
You can send letters, packages, and ship things overnight. You can even ship internationally.
And you will pay the same rates at Staples shipping USPS that you would at the post office.

Not all Staples will have a USPS location so be sure and check the list or call your local Staples. It looks like the initial roll out is limited to California stores.
You can still ship via UPS station, but you will not be able to print your labels at Staples. Now Staples will only be a UPS drop off location so you have to print your labels at home.
This is a great option because the lines at the post office get really long during the holidays and tax season. Not only will the lines be shorter at Staples, but getting 5X Ultimate Rewards for sending things via the mail is a total win!
I know I’ll be mailing more things at Staples, how about you?
