Also, my partner just apped for and got a Simply Cash (30K limit and $250 bonus).... will that card have these kinds of offers available as well?
I'm not familiar with the specific offers received on the business cards, but I would say the chances are good.
If you have your Simply Cash and BCP on the same login, be sure to open a separate tab and pull up the offers on the second card before adding to the first, otherwise you'll only get it once.

This was interesting.
"Staples DOES NOT sell more than $2000 of gift cards in any order due to Federal anti-money laundering regulations."
Not that I'm going to buy that much anyway, but it helps figure out what they're watching out for, definitely
I noticed that promintly (and repeatedly) on their site as well... it's a problem I would love to have!
(To clarify, I would love to have the extra money to buy $2k+ gift cards, not a problem with the Feds... LOL)
I thought you'll take the feds head on. UncleB vs UncleS

My BCP just dropped a statement (meaning I'm now on next month) so I gave the Staples Amex offer a whirl. I purchased a $100 eBay Gift Card with electronic (email) delivery.
A minute of so after my order was placed, I received the following email:
From past experience, once I get this message it's pretty much a 'done-deal' as long as the transaction posts.
FWIW other websites state that the only time there's a problem is if you buy an actual 'Staples' gift card (as in, for use at Staples) which makes sense if you think about it. This offer is for Staples online purchases, and if Staples GCs were allowed to qualify it would be a way to effectively circumvent the online restriction.
Thanks for the update.

Awesome !
I never doubted for one minute that it wouldn't qualify & I did a similar thing to US Bank back in December. They said spend $200 & get $25 statement credit; I did spend that amount (wink wink) and I was rewarded (along with 4x fuel points in addition). For the item that I purchased, the bet I wouldn't lose either way proved itself.

Anyone who used this offer to buy gift cards for their statement credit?
My transaction posted and yet I haven't received the statement credit yet. It would suck if gift card purchases are not qualified, I could've just use discover and got 5% cash back instead 😕
I made my Staples purchase on Saturday, and my gift card number wasn't delivered until yesterday (!). It seems a common complaint on Staple's own web site is that delivery is slow, but I digress...
My charge is still 'pending' and hasn't posted yet. Historically, once the charge posts the credit comes a day or two later (at least with me). In a few days I should know something, and I'll be able to come back here and report.
Like you, though, I'll be rather disappointed if the credit isn't posted, since so far it's always worked. Also like you, I could have purchased the card at Kroger and got 6% back with my BCP as well as 4X fuel points. <fingers crossed>
I just want to give a final update... my Staples purchase of an eBay e-gift card posted on 4/26, and the $25 Amex Offer credit posted two days later:
I was fairly sure the credit would post successfully since it has always worked in the past, but I also understand why some people might have been doubtful due to the verbiage that is used in the fine print.
I have really 'simple' tastes so most Amex Offers are of little use to me, but occasionally a 'gem' such as this will come along.
Huge shout-out to SisterGirl for bring this one to our attention! 
Mine posted the other day!
