Don't Forget Coinstar as a Dump Option
I've dumped on Coinstar quite a bit this past year and used the fee-free gift card options (No fee when you cash in for a card or eCert from Coinstar®.).
I've spent over $800 at Amazon.com
$300 at JCPenny
$200 at Sears (Sears takes Land'sEnd gift cards, Rumor is that KMart does also)
$175 at ToysRus
$100 at Chili's
We occasionally shop at Old Navy, but I haven't done a Coinstart cert for there yet.
Lowes is on the edge of being in driving range for me but I'm more of a Menard's man for routine stuff. I almost decided to buy a new dishwasher recently, but I ending up fixing the one I had instead. If I would have bought one, it would have been at Lowes - with a Coinstar cert.
If I had a Krogers, Albertsons, or other grocery near me, I would buy all of my groceries with coinstar dump certs. Anybody who shops at those groceries should keep that option in mind.
I especially like dumping dimes into Coinstar - I don't have to search them first. The silvers fall to the reject slot.
