Maybe they don't have an Amex? It's a way to effectively pay for Costco with Visa/MC/D.
Bingo. I don't have an amex... (sure I could get one from Costco for free.... but that's only 1% cash back) - so I do go thru my fair share of coins (rolled & unrolled) there. Have I got a few weird looks- yes... especially in Hawaii. But they have all accepted them.
Found a new use today- exchanged several rolls with another FT'er for several bottles of wine
(I think they then took the coins promptly to the bank
)
