Make a $180 purchase using your gift card, using a $30 off $150 coupon. Return it without your receipt...they will give you $180 on a gift card. Make a $210 purchase using your gift card, using a $30 off $150 coupon. Return it without your receipt...they will give you $210 on a gift card.
You get the idea. Each time you do it, you make $30. I'd suggest you visit different Staples locations and wait a while between deals. Comments?

LOL...

I've worked retail...that wouldn't work man. They ask for ID, which probably would be your driver's license. They keep track of who does returns without receipts. After so many, they have the right or refuse returns. Man...that's some cheap crap you got planned there...I'm into exploiting price mistakes, but this is some jacked up crap.

Wouldn't this be considered fraud?

Yep and worthy of either a vacation or banning.

So if TheToddler is smart he'll edit his first post, apologize and ask the mods to delete/lock this thread.
