Free $10 Gift Card from Coinstar

Just read about this and thought I would share it with you. If you are planning to purchase a gift certificate (or gifts) from one of the participating retailers, it would be a great way to get a bonus. I would even go so far as to get the change from the bank and convert it into the gift card at a Coinstar machine. So, get your gift cards from the machine and use them as gifts or go to the stores and purchase your planned gifts with the gift card, then use the bonus for some after Christmas shopping in the clearance aisle.

Participating retailers:
Starbucks
Amazon.com
Circuit City
JC Penney
iTunes
Borders
Pier 1
Eddie Bauer
Cabela's
Disneyshopping.com
Old Navy
