This morning my bank specifically asked me to not even unseal any of the boxes!

At least your cards are not frozen, yet, and you can still charge more coins to them. My account is frozen, and I am still waiting for them to respond after faxing the 4506T 3 days ago.
I wonder how they are dealing with it seeing so many people purchasing from the US Mint and making payments before the payment due date. Very obvious that the US Mint must be legitimate - they can easily ask the Mint about it. I wonder what question they may even have.
In the meantime, I just continue with other cards, providing an opportunity for Visa/Master to get some merchant fees and for me to earn some travel money.

Apparently they are okay with my Mint transactions, although they asked about them in the first phone call, and they are fine with me paying the cards before the billing cycle closes. When one doesn't lie about any information on the application, I think they are alright. I really thought they were going to close the card because of all these somewhat "suspicious" activities (depending on how you view it) and upset about losing the opportunity to earn more SPG points.
Time to place another order with the AMEX again. It is backordered until the end of the month though.

I had 2 great experiences this morning: My "new" bank asked me for MORE! I took in X,500 and they asked for another 500, and only 1,000 increments in the future since they can only bag them in those quantities. I told them on Monday I'd bring in an X,500 deposit to top them off. My other/old bank didn't even bother looking inside my usual boxes of 500; I guess they're used to me by now. They'll get some chocolates, again, next week

Everyone who went to the San Diego Zoo Do last month got the code and it has worked for them. I first used it in 1997. I have never heard of it not working, maybe you were not given the right code?
To keep on topic this is where LLM and I first discussed getting coins for miles.

What I'm taking about is something different. But it was a 2 letter code.
If someone want to share this new code with me I sure would appreciate it.

OK, so this thread is really long! I've read the first post and the FAQ, even done some purchasing and depositing of coins myself. I'm confused as to how people have reported getting $40k worth in the last couple of pages.

The presidents are limited to 2 boxes @ 250 each per address. The Native Americans are limited to 99 boxes/order (at least online), unlimited orders. As long as your credit card(s) will support it, you can get a boat load of 'em.

Thanks and er, Wow! Is that a recent development? I did the $5000 a bit earlier in the year and thought that was my lot.
