Get a free $10 bonus from Coinstar for Amazon.com. Turn in at least $40 of coins at your nearest Coinstar machine and select a Amazon.com eCert. Coinstar machines are locating in over 100 stores such as Albertsons, Foodland, Krogers and Winn Dixie Marketplace.
I should have used this to get rid of all my coins laying around my house, instead of sorting, counting and putting them in coin rolls. This is a time saver and I would get some bonus cash for Amazon.com, where I bought my macbook and nintendo ds lite bundle.

I don’t think it’s worth it.
Coinstar takes 10% of your money. So if you pour in $40 in coins, you get $36 back, and a $10 Amazon gift certificate.
Congratulations, you just saved $6, toward something that will most certainly cost you around $199.
Happy Holidays!

you can always sell the gift card on ebay
and who wants to count $100 bucks of coins or pennies

And a Merry Christmas To All! 1 Day Left for this deal!
Jeff B’s comment had me worried, so I decided go to the Coinstar site and read the offer again.

It turns out that;
“Coinstar coin counting is FREE when you turn your coins into a gift card or eCert.”
So in this case, there is no 8.9% charge for counting the money for you; if you pour in $40 in coins, you get, well, $40 back, and a $10 Amazon gift certificate besides!
Congratulations, you just turned $40 of idle pennies from your car and the bottom of your junk drawer into $50 worth of gift certificates just in time for Christmas! And you didn’t even have to pay the usual 8.9% fee to have Coinstar do the work for you, nor did you spend a couple of hours on the tedious and time-wasting counting yourself! Luckily, you come from a literate family, so $10 from Amazon is $10 toward something which may very well cost about, oh $10!
I am sure to go tomorrow since that is the last day!

Gibby, I can’t think of many things on Amazon.com that you could get for $10 shipped, unless they were used.
