Quick Thoughts
Mastercard gift cards have had a higher rate of problems than Visa gift cards in the past. I haven't kept up with recent data points, but if you buy these, I recommend using them as soon as possible.
If you're buying, make sure you use a card that earns one of the best category bonuses at office supply stores. If you buy $200 of Mastercard with the Chase Ink Cash card, you will earn 1,000 Ultimate Rewards points. If you can buy 5 at a time, that could mean 5,000 points per day. This could be an easy way to get a big spend bonus. There is usually a limit of 1 per customer, this week's ad states 5 per customer per day.
