AFAIK, neither Schwab nor Fidelity branches accept cash. Checks only. They are not banks and dont provide traditional banking functions. In particular, they do not have vaults to safe-keep cash.

Bank wants me to come back so they can refuse my coins
I deposited $3000 and have a receipt. 2 hours after leaving, they called me saying they want me to come back and pick them up because they dont want them. I didnt deposit them to immediately withdraw them! I suppose they cannot force me to come and get them and they cannot simply leave them on the street.

Mine don't. Every so often I get lucky and a charge never shows up.
Much more often, the dates don't match. The credit card company can get the charge weeks or more after I make it (especially for out-of-country purchases), and even longer for out-of-stock-delayed-shipping. Bonuses are based on when they think charges happened, not on when I do.

How do you spend your $ coins? Let's list them.
I may be one of the strange ones who actually try to spend the coins and thus circulate them. I propose that we share ideas as to how we can accomplish our own individual goals to rack up miles as well as to help the Mint place the coins in the economy.
I for one use my various CCs as much as possible. Still there are opportunities for using old fashioned cash for day to day transactions when CCs are not the best option. Here are a few ways I circulate the $ coins:
1. Gas station with a 5 cent discount/gallon for cash
2. Small local supermarket that does not take CCs
3. Real estate tax paid in coins
4. Cash present for high school grads
5. Vending machines & parking meters
6. In person charity donations
Any more ideas?

The key here is to vary the card usage by buying coins, booze, hookers and blow on the same statement.
Apologies if I'm just an idiot who can't work the Search tools correctly, but is there a master list somewhere of which CC issuers will cut you off for using your card for this transaction? I'm thinking of placing an order on my Amex Premier Rewards Gold - noticing a lot of talk about SPG but not the other cards. Thanks for any info.
