I've used Coinstar to redeem over $150 worth in coins, only to receive a Gift Card Code that will not work on the Amazon.com website. I've contacted both customer service hot lines over the phone and email, but neither will claim responsibility for this problem. I will not use either business again. Buyer beware.

Jeff B's comment had me worried, so I decided go to the Coinstar site and read the offer again. http://www.coinstar.com/us/WebDocs/A1-0-3-1 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 And a Merry Christmas To All! 1 Day Left for this deal!

Wed, 03 Dec 2008 09:47:03 +0000 http://www.mrcheapstuff.com/?p=1751#comment-26126 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! I don’t think it’s worth it.
