For any one who might be interested here is my first experience with ordering coins:
1. Ordered $1000 over the phone on August 23rd. Asked what was in stock and was told the NA's were available so ordered 4 boxes.
2. Received an email on August 27th advising items shipped.
3. Box delivered by UPS on August 31st, signature required.
So far so good!

Oh yes, I remember taking it slow at the start...

...Now, all that said. I am 5,700 points (SPG AmX) away from a free trip to Hawaii. I can kill some with coins and normal expenses. Anyone want to PM me with ideas for how I can earn an extra 3k points this month? I have about 28 days left and would like to finish off the points I need this month, before everything is booked for next summer. Thanks!
(If not, I'll keep reading and hopefully I will figure something out.)

I had debated on adding to the most recent conversation in the thread..
Essentially, this kind of activity is common within communities outside of FT. Communities that are about bending and or skirting rules for personal gain (search engine optimization, online gaming cheating, hacking, etc..). When a great method is posted (Mint, Citi USA) the masses kill it.
I've personally reached out to some of the more veteran folks on this forum and asked questions about techniques and have been ignored.
With that being said, there are STILL lucrative tricks for the methods that are considered by the FT community to be dead that I've come across on my own. How many others know about these? I have no idea. I'd imagine not very many since they still work. What happens when those cats are out of the bag? They die just like everything else. There's little incentive to share, sadly.

Guess its hard to play by the rules if things move so slowly (and they start your 10 days on the day delivered).

Back to the real topic. Anybody else notice how slow the Mint is lately? My first order was shipped in 2 days and overnighted. Since that, they have taken up to a week to get shipped.

Called the local branch of my bank this morning and they said I can deposit boxes of these presedential coins anytime I'd like. Looks like I will start placing my orders this week. Won't be long before all of my CC purchase requirements are met

They must have cleared whatever was clogging the system. An order I placed at 5:00 this morning is already listed as "In Process". This is in comparison to one that was placed on the 27th which also moved from 'on hold' to 'in process' today as well.

Ha! Not only do I keep several rolls IN my desk, I kept thousands of dollars in coins on the floor under my desk when I would have them delivered to my office because no one was at home to sign for them. When I finally took them all home I realized what a comfortable foot rest the boxes had been. Of course, no one else knew they were there, but the mailroom guy knows I am a voracious reader who has a lot of books delivered to the office.

Anyone receive points with a Barclay's CC for these coin transactions?
