Teletrade Rewards

dbcoin

So I had 3700+ worth in my TT Rewards account. I could have gotten an MS63 Peace Dollar for 3700 points or a MS69 SAE for 3500. Not knowing the Peace series I chose the SAE figuring it is more liquid and worth at least the spot price of silver. I got today an NGC MS69 2002 SAE...with milk spots.

Kinda cheesy in my mind. Anyone else have this experience? I don't think its worth the hassle to return and get a new shipment.

I think you made the better choice of the SAE. If both those coins were out of the slabs and you took them to a coin shop to dump, you will get more money for the SAE.

I'm disappointed by the fact they take your reward points away.

Do they do that at the end of a calendar year or a year from when they were earned?

dbcoin

they expire 1 year after you earn them. So it's use em or lose em

Q: Do Teletrade® Gold Rewards Points expire?
A: Yes. Your points expire after six months with no auction purchases on your account, or one year from date of issue, whichever comes first. But with the variety of items to choose from in the Teletrade® Gold Rewards Vault, we don't think you will want to wait!

I feel the best value is the REDBOOK for 1250 points

and they make great gifts

I got a 64 Morgan than was bottom of th barrel. But that was not unexpected. I blame PCGS more than TT.

I would not expect TT to selectively seek out hi-end coins for the program.

Just this last week they sent me a morgan 1880-S MS 65 PL and nice frost,
PCGS. Very happy to say the least.

But milk spots? Very disappointed with the program. Might as well have sent a raw no-name round. That's all a slabbed, common-date, milk-spotted Eagle is worth anyway

Yeah! Some of us can't make enough points to take advantage of the program!

I wanted a 65 Morgan - but not enough points -
so - I opted for a 64 Morgan - and am keeping
a reserve going - with another 4600 points to
use later with yet to be earned points. Need 17,500
points for a 65 Morgan.

And I like the idea that it's free! No strings attached

I got tired of losing big chunks of pts.

I now check my awards tally and mark my calendar for the days scheduled to expire.

It helps, but sure would like non-expiry points as well!

Nearly all my SAEs from Teletrade for reward points have milk spots.

Well, I'll try to break it to you gently guys, shhhh! ({[ they're just bullion]}) shhhh!

I just noticed that my Gold rewards points are not lasting the full year(as claimed by TT).

For example, the points i earned 3/23/10 are already expired. Even points for 4/10 are already dropped from my earnings.

Anyone else noticed this?

Geoman

Crap - I didn't realize the points expired.

I had ~4,100 points last month, but I just checked and now I only have 701 points. I had a purchase for $3,400 from teletrade (my biggest purchase ever) about a year ago, but it looks like it was just over a year, since the points disappeared. Bummer!

PawPaul

.I hope there is just a minor mistake in your case Bushmaster ; could be they start the clock the moment you win the coin and not when they get around to

adding to your running total .

I will say the MS-64 Peace Dollar I got was a cherry

DIMEMAN

Those points aren't worth squat. It takes over 4000 to get a $40 coins. Geeeze!!!

I have 2600 points! That will get 2 redbooks. OH BOY!!!!

BaronVonBaugh

How about getting rid of the useless points and lowering the fees? I have never had enough points for anything since they take them away all the time!
The way they keep listing the same coins over and over with high reserves keeps me from winning much. I get better prices from Heritage and ebay.
