Can you explain what you mean by having the CC companies primed to accept the bill and US Mint re-charge? What did you do or how did it happen?
I called the credit card companies I had these charged to and let them know that I had made a purchase through the US Mint for x amount of dollars so that it would be noted on my accounts.
Has anyone noticed the new verbiage on the terms and conditions for American Express? It specifies no points for AMEX travelers checks, gift cards, or "cash equivalents". I doubt that they mean this type of cold hard cash.
