Ebay has been fairly regularly offering 6 - 10 eBay bucks on widely targeted offers including gold coins but excluding bullion. Add cash back or mileage portals and or eBay gift cards from grocery stores that may add category or fuel rewards and you may be able to come out near or below. Not something I've done but i be seen threads on FW.

Just looked at Evreward and only United at 0.5 miles per $ and Alaska at 5 miles per $ show, plus a couple of the rebate ones. If that Alaska shopping portal figure is true that seems like a very good deal. Buy one coin and you're looking at over 6000 miles. That would certainly help to offset the premium paid for the coin over the spot price.

It's not specific coins but a periodic (widely) targeted offer that is emailed. When the offer is available it also usually shows up on forums like FW or SD

unfortunately, I have not been 'targeted' for long time....last year was the only time I had 5 pts email, however 2 pts comes up often on my bidding screen.
For trading, where and how the coins be liquidated. (1 or 2 cycles per month)? circulated or non makes any significance?
