Signed up for the Armed Forces Enrollment.
Why isn't PayPal an option for enrollments?

I think that using PayPal would just cause problems. After all each time I use PayPal to buy something, I'm taken away from the site to log into PayPal to auth it then a return trip back to finish. This takes control away from the mint and their billing process (I'm guessing).

They allow you to use PayPal for other purchases, just not enrollments. I wonder if it might be something to do with pre-authorization.

Once set up on the Mint Website that doesn't happen. You don't have to log into Paypal again. Quote: I wonder if it might be something to do with pre-authorization. I don't see any difference if the card has expired or been canceled if it's in PayPal or your Mint account.

Quote: I don't see any difference if the card has expired or been canceled if it's in PayPal or your Mint account. What I meant was in how the authorization procedures may differ. Whenever I buy something with with a credit card, there is a pending charge that sits until the vendor closes it out. With PayPal, it is immediate; at least from my point of view. I never see it as a pending charge than can expire. It might also be a limitation in their service agreement.

The mint owns stock in the CC companies?

Quote: Still states "Armed Forces Enrollment" as it should - it covers all the forces. (I must have just read it very wrong. (Air force - Armed Forces) not too far off.

The packaging for the Liberty Medal looks better than the Eagles, and Commemoratives. I may need to get this coin; I like the design.

So, this was product notification email from the mint. Is this the new email format? I had to look the website to remind myself which product they were referencing.
