Reader Beth wrote to me with a few more details about the Coinstar promotion that I wrote about the other day. After completing the $40 exchange, a rebate form prints out of the Coinstar machine. This rebate needs to be filled out and postmarked by 1/6/10 to get your $10 bonus. Read more about the promo here.
At Coinstar machines, there is a fee to get cash back. Please keep that in mind when doing this deal. If you choose to redeem for gift cards, you get to keep every penny. Also, make sure that you are choosing a location that redeems for gift cards or eCertificates. These locations will have a big green “e” on display.
I’ve never done Coinstar before (that’ll change soon!), but one of the things you can redeem your change for is Amazon gift certificates! Could come in very handy in the next two weeks with all of the awesome deals!
Thanks Beth!!
