I used my $20 Staples rebate gift card from april to pay the ~13 activation fee (required a bit of social engineering with manager/csr) and then used ink plus.
$200 all gone. was gonna pull out my ink card, then realized AMEX offer (SPG business) had a $75 credit for $250 spend (staples & home depot), so gave up 1500 pts for $. will get $95 back for my 3x$100 (+fees) spend.
