Stacking & Gift Card Plays

Office Depot/OfficeMax: $15 off instantly on $300+ in Mastercard gift cards (9/27–10/3)

• Portal/Extension: Office Depot/OfficeMax (retailer promo)
• Source: Frequent Miler
• Link: Frequent Miler
• Rate/Value: $15 instant discount on a $300+ Mastercard gift card purchase
• Ends: 10/3/26 (valid 9/27/26–10/3/26; limit 10 per household/business)
• What: Office Depot and OfficeMax stores have brought back the in-store promo that knocks $15 off a $300+ Mastercard gift card purchase at the register.
• Why it matters: Paying with a card that earns a category bonus on office-supply or gift-card spend adds another layer on top of the $15, and the deal repeats up to the per-household limit.

Kroger: 4X fuel points on select third-party and fixed-value Visa/Mastercard gift cards

• Portal/Extension: Kroger (retailer promo)
• Source: Frequent Miler
• Link: Frequent Miler
• Rate/Value: 4X fuel points on eligible gift cards (online or in-store)
• What: Kroger is again awarding 4X fuel points on select third-party gift cards, and a digital coupon now brings in-store fixed-value Visa and Mastercard gift cards that were left out of the initial promo.
• Why it matters: Fuel points effectively discount your gas on top of the card-earn rate, and the digital coupon is the only way to get the fixed-value Visa/Mastercard cards included — clip it before buying.
