Office Supplies

You want the most value back for your credit card spends. Since not all points are of equal value, below is a quick reference on dollar value back (not just multipliers) for Office Supplies spends.

Details

Office Supplies are a common multiplier on business cards. If it includes Staples purchases, it can be a huge category. That's because you can buy gift cards from Staples for places where point multipliers are harder to find. Gift card purchases such as Home Depot, Apple and Amazon all count as "office supplies" purchases at Staples. The (-) card versions make you pick this category (excluding others) and/or limit retailers (+) are our recommended cards that include all venders coded to this category.
