Coinstar is running a holiday promotion in hopes of getting consumers to cash in their coins, according to a press release issued by the automated retail solutions company.
People cashing in at least $40 worth of coins for a gift card or e-certificate from participating retailers receive a personalized code to redeem for an additional $10 from the same retailer. National retailers participating in the promotion are Amazon.com, iTunes, Borders, Lowe's, Regal Entertainment Group and Rixty. There is no fee for counting coins at Coinstar Center kiosks when a consumer cashes in their change for a gift card or e-certificate.
The promotion runs through Dec. 31.
