Prepaid Vouchers at Staples

CuriousBadger — Thu, 23 Mar 2023 14:18:24 GMT

I was trying to purchase some Public Mobile vouchers yesterday at a Staples and was told that they don't carry it in store. Staples was my first choice because I have some specialty gift cards that I have to burn.

How often is the retailer list updated here?

Thanks

@CuriousBadger

I doubt it is updated often, as nothing else tends to be in the get help sections.

You might be better off, trying a shell or shoppers drug mart location, if possible.

@CuriousBadger

would they allow you to do an online purchase with that specialty gift card and they could bring them in from another store?

Perhaps worth asking them…

I could convert my Staples speciality gift card (act as a credit card) for another store's gift card such as Sobeys, however there may be exclusions on purchasing a PM voucher with a Sobeys gift card in store. Thanks for looking into it, much appreciated.

@CuriousBadger it's also a possibility that the person you were dealing with didn't know about the prepaid vouchers thus or assumed they were like gift cards. Maybe call and ask about telus prepaid mobile vouchers. If they have those they will have pm ones, or ask to speak to a manager for more info

First go check with your local Sobeys, Canadian Tire or Petrol Canada about using their gift cards to buy PM vouchers, then go convert your Staples GC into a store GC from whichever one of the three above that works best for you.

You can also buy a prepaid Visa or Mastercard if you don't mind the activation fees.
