Question About Magazine Add

I tried it, you get what you pay for. Do NOT give them your tele. ## unless you're feeling philanthropic. They will call you daily asking for donations or sell your info to others who call trying to sell you ASE's @ 200% over spot. Their is also a phone ## to call to receive a FREE ASE (I will post it if I can dig it up.) All you have to do is listen to their 10 min. spiel (just answer no to the over-priced stuff they are peddling) and wait 3 months, but you will eventually receive it. They run the offer about once a month and it's nice to call from a few different phone ##s and forget about it. Then enjoy the free silver whenever it surprises you.

I have purchased from the American Historic Society, and was satisfied.

What you describe however will require you to accept "approvals," and/or listen to their line of baloney.

I would beware. It sounds nice, but I called for the "free" (+$4.95 shipping) silver eagle two months ago, still no coin. They did charge my credit card a month ago though - they said they wouldn't until it shipped. Also, they make you fill out a postcard and pay to mail it back in (within like 2 days) and hope you misplace it and don't get your coin. On the phone, they give you a hard sell for lots of recurring charges (like $14 silver eagles for $49.95 each shipped to you twice a month), so you have to check you CC statements for 3 months watching to see if they charge you for something like that. Just not worth it to save $10 in my opinion.

I do all my online shopping with Prepaid Virtual CCs...They are fast and safe just link it to bank account and reload before each purchase for given amount, then just let it sit empty until your next purchase.

Andy - I believe there are fees associated with those types of cards ($10 or so?) that would make it cheaper to just buy a regular SAE for $14 or $15!

As for the prepaid virtual CCs, those are a good idea, unless there are similar fees.
