I have been saving my change and am ready to go do it. I was able to locate several machines near me, but according to the icons, none give gift cards, only e-certificates or take donations. Will this work, or do I have to search for a different machine further away?

[...] all of our coins using a Coinstar machine. I was hoping to have at least $40 so I could get the extra $10 in free Amazon money and was surprised that I had just over $90 in change! Yay! Christmas present [...]

Wow! I too will be changing cash to change to change in- it’s worth my time to rack up a discount on a new ereader and books!

Great! I have some change I’ve been saving for quite a while and haven’t cashed in.

And come to think of it, isn’t that why I have children? To count my pennies so I can get more coffee? Why yes, I’m pretty sure it is.

Sweet! Unfortunately, I’m not sure how much change is in the jar unless I count it…but it might be worth it for an extra $10 at that one coffee place.

You know, I believe I will ‘change’ some cash into coins to take full advantage of this! If only I could get the locator to work on the web site so I knew where to go…

Thanks for the reminder! I think we did this 2 years ago when you posted about it. Awesome!

Wow! I sure appreciate this tip, Mir! When my mom passed away this summer, we divvied up all of the quarters she saved for playing the slot machines, which she never got to use, sadly, between the 6 grandkids. They each received over $60 and I have dreaded changing them in. But now? This is brilliant! I will rack up $40 extra for the 4 of them, or more if I am really ambitious, I suppose. Thanks!
