We did this deal several times last year. My husband throws his coins in a jar every night; it's surprising how fast they accumulate - even when I take a small handful out to go shopping at Walgreens or CVS. Most or all the offers are a one per name and mailing address, so we had the additional bonus cards sent to relatives.
Find a Coinstar machine near you.
Thanks, Jennifer!

Hi Jeri,
ReplyDeleteDo they charge you to count the change?
Lisa
Lisa, I think they charge if you want cash back. If you get one of the certificates, there's no fee.
ReplyDeleteIf you wait till the 9th Amazon will be added to the list.
ReplyDeleteHi Lisa - rawfoodgal is correct. If you want cash you get charged. If you select a gift certificate you get the full dollar amount in the certificate.
ReplyDeleteI think this is the way it works year round, but around this time of year they have the extra promotions. So save your change for the holiday season.
Thanks, Anonymous! - I'll add a note to the post aobut Amazon.
Thanks, Anonymous! I was really disappointed that Amazon wasn't on the list. Guess I'll be doing this deal again after all, just after the 9th!
ReplyDeleteLast year when they did this deal - we found out that different machines have different cards available. Check a few coinstar locations and you might find other deals.
ReplyDeleteI am a little confused how this works. We are getting my mom a Kindle for Christmas and am wondering if I could use multiple of these deals to save more on the price. There are no sales out there for this and it is $189. Anyone have any ideas? I guess we could just do $160 in change in 4 transactions and if nothing else, give her the freebies for gifts?
ReplyDeleteI don't understand the expiration date
Thanks Andrea - I think you can check online to see which cards are avaialble at which machines.
ReplyDeleteHi Tonya - All year round you can get an retialers eCertificate from a Coinstar machine without loosing some of your money as a processing fee.
The Bonus Card promotion is only in effect until 12/31 and make sure you read the find print on the Bonus offers. Most of them are for one Bonus gift card per name or address. They take at least a few weeks - maybe longer to show up in the mail.
FYI - I just checked Coinstar's site and it says that Amazon.com ends 12/22/10. All others end 12/31/10.
ReplyDeleteif you had any idea how much change I have saved up..... this totally rocks!!!
ReplyDeletein my way of thinking, that practically makes these gift certs FREE!!!!!!

Hi ArmyMomx2 - Just make sure you read the fine print on the bonus gift card. Most if not all of them are one per address.
ReplyDeletewell with amazon/itunes, most of our grown kids have their own accounts and addresses (except the two "homeless" soldiers). each has a long wish list so they will be spent fast.
ReplyDeletebut the best part is my bank balance will be unphased!
