Many of us take an extra step before making a variety of purchases by picking up gift cards at office supply stores like Staples to earn 5X miles and points.
Since the Chase Ink cards earns 5X points at office supply stores, I purchase gift cards for gas (Shell), Amazon.com and Target. There are also a few other gift cards that I purchase from time to time.
Here are some travel-related gift card options that I purchase when needed:
A little over two years back I wrote about another good way to earn 5X points. If you take Uber rides, gift cards were available at Staples.
Not really sure why but I stopped seeing Uber gift cards for sale at Staples. It’s actually been so long that I forgot that I had written a post about it!
I rarely use Uber unless we’re traveling but Kim uses the ride share quite a bit. When I saw Uber gift cards at Staples a couple of weeks back, I picked a couple up for her as a little present!
Uber rides offer convenience and better prices than a traditional car service usually. Taking rides with Uber seem like an even better deal if I can earn 5X miles and points!
This is just a reminder that if you have a Chase Ink card and take Uber rides, keep an eye out for gift cards at Staples!
