It will never tell you this. It'll just sit there until you cancel it.

Order name /= CC name - could cause it to fail

perhaps in some cases, yes, so the safest way is dif name and dif cc

My orders from 5/4 are showing "backordered until 5/25" now. Must be patient...

How do you cancel a "guest" order?

Aside from the possibility of a pending mint rule change this mint mess may be related to a temporary activity surge due to another article from that notorius coin heretic, Mr. JP.
All my orders shipped today except for the backorder coin. I placed order on 4/27 and May 4.

Last few orders were in my hands within 4-5 days of ordering so I became a bit spoiled. I was hoping to finish off the BA spend before my first billing cycle closed so placed and order this weekend hoping for a charge/delivery this week but was surprised to see all coins backordered! I know that this may or may not mean anything, seen orders backordered before then actually ship out just a few days later versus the date posted on the website.

But..... for the first time I can ever remember it didn't take away from my available credit.

hmmm..... hope this is a simply a temporary backorder and nothing more.

The 2011 Native American coin just moved to a 5/17 backorder. A hopeful sign.

Couldn't you just buy $1000 in e-giftcertificates now and then apply them in the future when the coins are back in stock? I presume if you buy the egiftcerts they'll hit your card right away.... and voila, your spend is met!

The 2011 or 2001? I hate the 2001 they come in the MINT wraps not the regular 25$ ones.

What's the MINT wrap and how does that affect depositing of the coins?
