No Fees on Visa Gift Cards at Office Depot and Office Max
Update April 8, 2015: Offer is dead.
Update April 7, 2015: Mixed reports of this still working.
Update April 4, 2015: MasterCard gift cards are included (Thanks to Chris in IN for letting me know.)
If you buy Visa gift cards, run, don't walk to the nearest Office Depot and Office Max. At this moment, there are no fees on all Visa gift card purchases.
No Fees on Visa Gift Cards at Office Depot and Office Max
You can buy Visa gift cards at Office Depot and Office Max today without fees.
There are currently no fees being charged on any fixed rate Visa gift cards to include $25, $50, $100, and $200 cards.
This is a great time to stock up on gift cards. And of course, if you have a Chase Ink Bold, or Chase Ink Plus card you'll get 5X Chase Ultimate Rewards points on your purchases.
I'm guessing this is a fluke and the error may be fixed by the morning. Because while I was there with Mr. Pickles (who texted me about the deal), the manager got a call from his district manager asking what was going on.
Perhaps it had something to do with the volume of cards being purchased but the manager relayed that the district manager had been getting calls from all his stores.
How many Visa gift cards did you buy?

I went to the O.D. in Mission Valley tonight, but I think somebody beat me to it. All the $200 and $100 gift cards were gone. I wasn't interested in dealing with a bunch of $50 gift cards, so I left empty handed.
I hope to see you next Tuesday at Brett's BBQ!
Go back and pick up the MasterCards - apparently no fees on those as well.
Yep, see you at Brett's. 🙂
is this still available?
Hi Eric,
Yes, acccording to readers in other states. And it includes MasterCard gift cards.
is there way to offload these gift cards into a bluebird?
Hi Van,
Vanilla Visa gift cards can't be loaded to Bluebird. So you have to use them for other things.
But the MasterCard gift cards (US Bank) can be loaded to Bluebird.
Just got a few without fees in Los Angeles. Should be able to off load onto Red Bird
Hi Shawn,
Glad to hear you were successful. 🙂
thank you so very, very much for sharing! I was able to make 2 stops and totally loaded up! I'm grateful for you sharing this useful info. Quick question.....can you remind me how the PIN's work on these cards? It's been a long, long time since I have picked these up.
Hi Steeler,
Glad to be of help.
You set the PIN on first use. So you can use any 4 digit number you like when you use the card the first time.
Perfect! You are awesome!
🙂
Hey. Is this still working today (Sunday)? Thank you
Hi JBM,
Yes, and according to some readers and it may last the rest of the week. (Assuming there are still gift cards left...)
any reports today?
Hi EEM,
1 report of it being over at their local OM. But haven't heard any other reports.
Alive last night (4/6) at my OM and OD. Tried OD this morning (4/7) and unfortunately dead there. Will try OM later today, but not hopeful 🙁
Hi Jay,
Thanks for the update.
Did not work today 4. 7. in N.Y.
