Just trying to get the latest information - Is it OK to use Starwood Amex card to buy the dollar coins so that it is treated as a purchase?
I have not done coin purchases for over a year, so not sure of what the current policies with the credit card companies are.
Could not quite figure out how to search for this - so any help appreciated.

I started paying our cleaner with coins!! I am pretty sure getting these into the Mexican cash-only culture will help with the true intention of the program

"Which cards do not accumulate miles/points for the dollar coin purchases?
Both US Bank’s Flexperks card and Comerican Bank (Elan Credit) have been reported as not earning points for Mint purchases. If you encounter others, please send a private message to iahtraveler so that this list can be updated. Please DO NOT post which cards still accumulate points/miles in the open coin thread."
Believe it or not, there are lurkers out there who take pleasure is trying to ruin this deal.

Hi Guys,
I purchased 4 boxes of 201 Native American on 7/21/10. The order still is in processed as of today. I called Mint three times and they said everything is fine and this coin is back in order and asked me just wait for another 2 weeks. But when I check the website, it does not say "this coin is back in order".
1. 2010 NATIVE AMERICAN $250 BOX $1 COINS (N04)
Qty 4 @ $250.00 - In stock.
It is my first time to order coins from Mint. Frankly I do not want to wait so long time. Do I do anything wrong? next time which coin should I order to get them faster shippment? Thank you in advance.

What has been delivered lately? I saw one posting for John Adams, any better bets?
The backorder date for Sacajaweas is now 8/5, one month from my order. They must have a gate agent from {your choice of major airline} handling the delay announcements. Time to cancel .....
