Guest Frieked Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 I think I saw a commercial for that on TV... I'll have to take my big cup o change over there when I get a chance. I did a search and there are no machines in my area that do the giftcards... but there are a couple that will do eCertificates for amazon.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebony0421 Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 I am always trying to find a place to dump my change. I think this is another gift I have taken care of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
best4less Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 I always use coinstar but usually get the cash (which they charge a fee for). I did a search and the machines near me only do amazon.com eCetificates. That's alright, Christmas is coming so I can put it to good use. I have a big jar of change sitting in my bedroom right now as a matter of fact! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Betsy Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 I use coinstar and get cash only. I just checked the list and there is one place about 1.-- miles from where I live that gives the gift cards. I'm wondering if the m/c gift card charges a fee.

Rebirth Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 Alright, the Jewel I go to gives out Amazon.com Gift Certificates. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vijmas Posted November 10, 2005 Author Share Posted November 10, 2005 i think amazon.com is the only one available everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haberkdrew Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 There are very few Coinstar machines that offer the "prepaid gift cards" to places like Borders or Starbucks. I emailed them about this and they said, at least in my area, they weren't going to make them available any time soon. But many locations offer the Amazon.com ecertificate.

maccawolf Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 I have a coinstar in my town, but according to the search, it doesn't give e-certificates. Oh well, I guess I'll stick with my bank that does it free. (Commerce) rather than drive the 5 miles to the closest one that gives certificates. I was hoping......

Gator Pam Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 I'm wondering if the m/c gift card charges a fee.According to the website, the m/c has big time fees. $9.95 fee for a first time card and $4.95 fee to reload. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
