Assume these are errors on their part?
"Claims must be postmarked by 1/6/09 and received by 1/13/09."?

Always looking for MIRs and Winetags (NBPR/NWPR) good in NC!
I've never done the CoinStar machine before. What are the gift cards? Is it a gift card to the store that the machine is located in or do you get to choose from a list or something.
What are the fees on these machines?
Great find OP!
They have a variety of gift cards to choose from ~ Lowes, amazon.com, i-tunes, etc. If you go to the coinstar web site, click on "machine locator" & plug in your zip code, you'll get a list of coinstar locations near you. Each location will have icons indicating whether they have gc's or e-certificates. If you click on the icons it will give you a list of what gc's/e-certificates they have.
No fees if you exchange the money for gift cards.
I did this deal last year & it came through with no problem ~ bought a Lowes GC since that's one place we always spend money at!
Do I have to use coin or can I use cash to purchase the gift card?
Is there a way to put $40 coins in and get 4 different $10 GCs and still qualify for the extra $10. I am thinking about Christmas gifts...but $40 is too much in one GC.
Anyone know?
