Its is highway robbery! And when people need money to the point im counting out change why would i put it on an Old Navy giftcard. They dont put gas in my car or food in my Kids mouth. NO THANKS!

that’s some pretty clever thinking Jason!

I think you’re right, they probably could make a difference. Especially if they advertised. Overall, it seems like they are a pretty smart company. Especially with the RedBox revenue stream. Even though online streaming is starting to get big, I always see people at the kiosks getting the latest DVD.

I’ve never heard of such a friendly back! That’s awesome!

I wonder if any other bank offers such a great service!

Unfortunately, I’ll still be counting the kids change… I want them to have money instead of gift cards…

But the excess change that I have laying around is fair game!!!

It was an article my local newspaper, I just read the title then went out to Coinstar’s website. Seems like a pretty smart move on their part!

I think I will use their service this year…

Wonder if coinstar gets enough buisness, could stimulate the economy. Coinstar said last year it converted almost 7 billion dollars in coins into dollar bills. Thats 7 billion dollars that was just sitting in people’s couches and coin jars, untouched for spending.

I never use coinstar. I just go to the local TD Bank( I don’t even have an account there) they allow me to use the coin counter in the bank without any fee. Then I walk 2 steps to the counter and get the full value of my change in CASH.

We’re on the same wavelength as I recently wrote about my local Coinstar machine as well. It is a brilliant, win-win-win situation. Will be interesting to see their partnership list grow. That will make them even more appealing to me.
