Coinstar is now a great place to get cash your change into dollars. The machine is easy to use, and does take 8.9cents per every dollar, no more wasted time rolling the money. Now you can also get a free $10 Amazon.com gift certificate for cashing in at least $30 worth of coins at participating Coinstar machines.

The way to do it, is to send your printed receipt that will come out of the machine when you cash in your $30 or more of coins and mail it to Coinstar at this address: Make sure that you have the correct Email address so that you can quickly get your certificate via email instead of having them mail it to you by snail mail.

This promotion ends on November 4, 2007 so you want to hurry up and cash in your change.

While this is one promotion you can also choose to cash in your change for other gift certificates like Satrbucks, borders, Itunes, KB toys, and others. There is no fee for cashing coins into certificates You can check it out at http://www.coinstar.com/ to see which machines and area's will be offering this since not all areas offer this yet.

All the instructions for doing this is on the Coinstar website. This is great news for us that have coins at home and want to cash them in for Christmas time and presents. These certificates will make great stocking stuffers, or will help you with paying for a purchase while shopping.

If you are like me you save your change through out the year for vacations or Christmas, this added bonus of the $10 gift card just sweetens the deal.
