25% Coinstar Bonus Promotion: (No Mail-in-Rebate Required)
Dec 10th
Coin-changing machine operator CoinStar is repeating a promotion where if you change $40 in coins into a gift card, you can receive an additional $10 gift card by mail at certain retailers. It’s actually better this year because it is no longer run as an annoying mail-in rebate. This time, after you exchange $40 in coins for a gift certificate, they provide a promotional code on the receipt that you redeem online. The $10 bonus certificate is still sent via snail mail, but this time “within 1-2 weeks” and without wasting time with mailing forms and postage.
The participating retailers include iTunes Store, Lowe’s Home Improvement, Borders Bookstores, and Regal-affiliated Movie Theaters. However, the page also says that Amazon.com will join the promotion on 12/9/2010. The page seems to hint that Gap and Starbucks will also join in eventually, but who knows. Personally, I like the idea of getting rid of my coins and getting a 20% 25% bonus since I shop regularly at Amazon anyway.
By the way, if you convert your $40 into a gift certificate instead of cash, you’ll avoid their normal exorbitant 9.8% processing fee. Here is their kiosk locator.
November Snapshot Update –> up 30% in 30 days!!
Dec 1st
November has been a busy month for the credit card promos for me, with so many floating out there – I think for sure all of this credit freely flowing is an attempt to get people back in the habit of spending.
- Discover More Card ($100 cash back after spending $500)
- Chase Ink Card ($200 after 1st purchase) I opened up two of these cards, and bought 2 of the most rewarding cups of coffee ever!
Here is how November added up:
- Paid Survey - $1.00
- Target Gift Card from AAA – $5.00
- Credit Card Promos – $500.00
Toughest part of November with all these bonuses was weather or not to grab an iPad with all this free money. Trying not to pull the trigger on it yet..who knows what will happen in December.
Currently at: $2,171.00
Last Month: $1,665.00
Change since last month +30.40%
Change since Inception +117.10%
