Change $40 in coins into a gift card for a major retailer at a Coinstar machine and you’ll actually get a $50 gift card. Retailers include Lowe’s, iTunes, Amazon.com and a ton of others. There is no fee for the exchange or the card. Find a Coinstar machine near you. Offer good through December 6, 2009.
Think about these cards both for gifts and for using to buy gifts for the people on your list, but also (if your budget can afford it) for places where you make regular purchases since it is free store credit.
If you don’t have $40 in spare change laying around withdraw $40 from the bank in quarters.
Your turn: Was it really as simple as putting in your $40 in coins and getting a $50 gift card?
About Carrie Rocha
I think the offer expires 12/6 not 12/26 is that correct?
Looks like from their official rules page that the additional $10 gift card is mailed to you after you fill out and submit the form you get after cashing in your coins.
I did this last year and, like Jennifer said, you send in the claim form for the $10 gift card. Then if, for example, you load it onto your Amazon account like I did, you input the claim code from the $10 g.c. to do so. (And add it on to all the credit you have from redeeming SwagBucks…) Reading the fine print, I wonder if I could get a $40 g.c. to CVS and then submit the claim form for the $10 g.c. to a different retailer — e.g., Amazon. $40 at CVS would go a long way.
Also, you have the date wrong for the end of this promo: it’s Dec. 6TH, not 16.
Is there a list of retailers on the site somewhere that I’m missing?
Mitzie, on the Coinstar site (www.coinstar.com), if you click on the “More” after the text where it says “Now it’s FREE when you change your coins to certificates…” you go to a page that has listings for the different retailers you can get gift cards from.
Found it – thanks Joanna.
