Anyone still using US Mint to accumulate points?
I know a lot people here may quit doing that already since I think I'm the poor guy..but just wanna confirm that US mint won't track you down if you buy coins regularly like $1,000 per 10 days?

I got my coins yesterday and made my deposit w/n a minute. Good start

Of course, all of the people on the private boards are doing the nematode cash back deal now.

actually in fairness to the op... the coins thread is now mostly a handful of people talking about "my order was placed yesterday", "my order status is bingabong what does that mean?" "oh my order just shipped", "my order is showing the wrong weight" "just arrived". It really is rather tedious.

But yes, people are still ordering coins, not in the quanities of old but still pretty good. I too am on the game, albeit very small and generall now just to meet min spend requirements on various credit cards I'm holding

You could not find it because he used the word "nematode" which is an incorrect spelling of the real word.

It's not the mint that will track you down, its the credit card companies. The Mint is glad to get rid of coins i'm sure.

The coins are still a great way to meet min. spend requirements or even out accounts. Yes, it is still going strong. According to our UPS driver, he personally delivers nearly a dz. boxes per day.
