WE LOVE TO REWARD OUR BEST COLLECTORS
Congratulations! You've made 3 qualifying purchases and are now eligible for Free Budget Shipping* for the rest of the year as part of the United States Mint Loyalty Program. Whether you make 2 purchases or 10, now you can enjoy free shipping every time as a special thank you. Obviously no purchases yet this year (today) |

I got the same, but they raised the cost of proof ASE by $9. I would have rather paid for shipping and gotten them at the old price. |

Yep I received the same email earlier today. This happened last year too and was a mistake/glitch and they sent a retraction within a day or so, IIRC.

So was anyone granted free shipping last year without having to make the 3 purchases? I intentionally made a purchase yesterday I'd been holding off so I would get the free shipping. |

Also got the same email and decided to test it out. Went through the process and it didn't discount the shipping. New Year's Day glitch.

I too also received the same email.
Maybe they are trying to drum up some business in the coming year and are extending the promotion.

I got two e-mails... On Tuesday I received one titled "Get ready—the U.S. Mint's Loyalty Program resets January 1!" Then on Wednesday I got one saying "Welcome to our Loyalty Program" which I only skimmed thinking it was just a follow-up to the other.  So opened it and of course it says "Congratulations! You've made 3 qualifying purchases and are now eligible for Free Budget Shipping* for the rest of the year as part of the United States Mint Loyalty Program."  |

Just got the "apology" email:
Dear Valued Customer,
On January 1, we sent you an email regarding the United States Mint Loyalty Program. This email was sent in error and we apologize for any confusion it may have caused.
The qualifications for the Loyalty Program reset at the beginning of each calendar year. As a registered user who has subscribed to our Product & Promotion email updates, you have met the first two requirements for participation in this program. Once your first three orders in this calendar year have shipped, you will again qualify for free shipping for the remainder of the year.
For additional questions or concerns, please see our FAQs or call our Customer Care Center at 1-800-USA-MINT (872-6468).
Thank you for being a loyal United States Mint customer.
It's funny that they end the email with "loyal United States Mint customer" when the email is telling you that you don't meet the requirements for the Loyalty program!

I compared the oops email from last year to the one from this year and it's word-for-word identical.
