Maximizing The Offer
Office Depot and OfficeMax sell $200 MasterCard gift cards that have an activation fee of $7.95. To get the $15 instant discount, you need to spend at least $300. So you would need to purchase two $200 MasterCard gift cards, which will cost you $415.90. Take off $15 at the register and you’re paying just $400.90. So in this case you are paying 90 cents in fees for two $200 gift cards.
But if you really want to maximize rewards and the discount, it’s best to purchase three $200 Mastercard gift cards for a total of 623.85. This normally triggers a $30 discount (2 x $15), which is the best way to go as it gives you an small profit instantly.
