My Chase Continental 2x promo ran 3/1-4/30. I have already received my bonus from this promo on ALL purchases that I made during this time period.
Cheers!

Thanks for the data points!
I have purchased coins with my BA Visa card and I have received the miles.
It isn't a card I use much, so I have had months in which $2,000 - $3,000 of coin purchases were the only charges.
It seems that most of the Chase cancellations were back in the good old days when someone could order amounts each month equal to the credit limit on the card.
Now the maximums for coins each month are so low, my personal opinion is that the credit card company isn't going to get concerned about it, particularly Chase.

If I have a Chase credit card statement, has anyone walked into a Chase Bank and paid their balance with coins? Or their Discover bill at Sears? Etc?
I see CoinStar added Albertsons Grocery Store in the state of Washington (http://www.coinstar.com/FreeCoinCoun...ail/Albertsons). If you order the coins, you can get free counting via CoinStar if you print out an Albertsons GC code. I don't know what limitations are, but it would be good if you could buy credit card gift cards or gas cards with the Albertsons GC from CoinStar.
Looks like CoinStar also offers GreenDot Pre Paid Debit Cards (http://www.coinstarinc.com/us/WebDocs/A1-0-3-2). I don't know what the upper limit on coin counting is nor the GreenDot topping limit nor if they charge a fee for coin counting. It is a lot of variables, but may be worth investigating for some?

Again its a YMMV, didnt happen to me but once when I paid it using 300 in coins , they checked to see if I used the CC to get them as they were checking that is what they told me. Its a good thing they didnt check another of my Chase CCs since I used a different 1, but did find that 1 1/2 months before I did use the CC to get the coins and didnt want to to take them, till I said and you think I simply put them in a corner and watered them the past few weeks to see if they will yield any more coins?
Out of all the banks I use/used Chase put up the biggest hassles , and thats when it went into my savings acct, and 2 branches even refused to take < $500 to pay off a CC
Havent been to Chase with any for well over a year and no plans to bring them there either
I would say if you bring some ($200) along with bills to pay it off and you didnt purchase it using that CC in the past couple of months you might get away with it, but no way would I try to use them to pay it off if it appears either on that statement or on the next one

Why would they stop ordering NA? I'm a newbie here, just ordered some NA last week & they haven't shipped yet.
Oops! When I checked earlier today they hadn't shipped. When I checked just now they shipped today.

Very limited supply of coins at the Mint. I think they're on to us.
