If you’ve been in the game for a while, then you know about the lore of the MINT coin deal in the past. I remember I was living in an apartment at the time and carrying around those rolls of coins to the bank WAS NOT FUN! At first it was cute, but after a while, it got annoying due to the weight of the coins.
Anyway, the deal sort of made its return a few weeks ago when the US MINT put this $1 George Bush coin 250 pack on sale for $255 (2% cost.) Shipping was $6 for the box, so you were looking at a 4.4% cost if you bought just 1 box. However, if you bought $25K worth (the limit,) then shipping was only $10. At that point, you were paying just about a 2% cost. This really didn’t make sense unless you had an AMEX sub to hit or whatnot.
I passed on the deal just because I had so many bad flashbacks to the old deal . Now if it was at cost, then I might have pulled the trigger on a few boxes. Looking back, it was cheaper than running an AMEX AU sub on “rhymes with booze.”
Now you just need to find a gold bug whale and run it back selling the Costco gold
@Chris: It’s fluz. Not sure what the big secret is/was.
Thanks for this story.
Just spent 5 min looking through every Amex card available- personal and business. Blue came to mind immediately, but not really a rhyme. So I searched. That is the only one even close to rhyming to booze. Maybe you should have said rhymes with a word such as “clue”? Because I have no clue.
OR just maybe you mean some other card I cannot spot that does rhyme with booze?
Also, you do not mention how to get an AU sub on whatever card you meant. Some of us aren’t so well versed as you.
he’s not talking about a card
