    The mint is #ucking with us.> @jclovescoins said:

    I tried both ending with the same results. I was sure I was onto one first thing before I saw the Oops sign. I must have submitted my order over 50 times in that loop of no entering information. But this first one... I thought it was mine. Yep, I think the mint is screwing with us.

    I tried after it kept taking me back to cart with credit card. No dice with paypal either.

    I kept trying until it says currently unavailable.

    The mint should release a super special item limited to <10 mintage. Then let the collectors sign up for a Hunger Games style deathmatch to compete for the opportunity to purchase.

    I woke up about a half hour early and signed in to the mint website to ensure I don't need to log on at 7:30. Came back after eating breakfast to see I had been signed out in a shorter duration than usual. I tried to sign in again and was banned. I managed to circumvent the ban by adding something to my cart and clicking the "sign in to order from a registered account" button in cashier. Removed that item. During this process the mint website removed from my cart the gold coin from yesterday morning. It wouldn't let me add the gold coin to my cart once it became available. Now I can't add any of the mint offerings to my cart. Don't do what I did.

    The mint could put a v75 privy mark on 1,945 of the end of wwii gold coins that are coming out on the 9th. It's a new design, not a popular series like the AGE and ASE and you won't have the same level of nonsense you have now that only 1,945 people can have a complete AGE set and it's the last year of the original reverses.

    What is a privacy pass?

    Who at the mint would think banning customers dealing with their own system makes sense?

    Got a gold!!! Had it my bag from Thursday and checked out with PayPal. No luck for my wife. She tried multiple times with PayPal, credit card, etc and it wouldn’t go through. Never got locked out though.

    Congrats on the gold. You may be only the third person from the forum that I have heard of to get gold. Do you have some kind of super computer? I would be interested in your process?

    Did anyone get a silver this morning that had been left over in their cart from prior days?

    Amazing. Absolutely amazing. Did it go right thru of did u get jammed up at all?

    Did u keep refreshing until it said available then go to your cart to check out or did u start from the checkout step until it went thru?

    Use Firefox browser. Privacy Pass is an extension for Firefox. Do a search for Privacy Pass.
    The banning is a result of them trying to eliminate bots but it has collateral damage. There is a work around.

    So from what I am reading keep the item in cart and go for PayPal. I will try that next time. At least the mint is still offering these. Grateful for that even though not easy to get. Thanks for the feedback for those who are successful.

    I just got banned while logging OUT of my mint account! Of course, now I can't get back in. They certainly have some problems to fix. This is ridiculous...

  • I had everything all loaded to the checkout screen in advance and refreshed right at 7:30 (4:30 here on the west coast...) and got It on the first try. The “order processing, don’t click the back button” pop up came up and then it went to the something went wrong page. Refreshed and it said 0 items in bag. I was mad that it dropped from my bag and then decided to check email just in case and the confirmation was there. All of this was done from my iPhone on Safari browser using Verizon cell connection.

  • RaufusRaufus Posts: 6,784 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Question for people who were able to buy one in the cart from a prior day:

    Did u keep refreshing until it said available then go to your cart to check out or did u start from the checkout step and keep trying till it went thru?

    Same dance this morning. I had a silver in cart. Became available. Clicked pay. "Processing" then came back with "page unavailable". When I tried to check out a second time. BANNED!

    Check your " Order History" in your account page. The same thing happened to me and now it appears that the order was placed.

  • MgarmyMgarmy Posts: 2,296 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I got both emails but not shipping confirmation yet so not counting chickens until I get that

    A friend of mine got the gold on release day, the thank you for placing your order email and the confirmation email only to have his order canceled the next day due to "credit card" issue. When he called his credit card company they said no issues and no reason for card to be declined😤.

    Just warning everyone that you need to wait for shipment confirmation before celebrating 🥳🥳🥳

    I'm assuming stuff like this is why a few are available each day.

    I had same deal. Processing, kicked back. I just look at the cart. If the cart has 1 it didn't go thru.

    I just went to sign in on Firefox and am banned. Ufb. Ban sure doesn't last just a minute incomprehensibly stupid.

    Privacy pass worked liked charm. Thank u!!

    Addendum: I'm still locked out (G-d knows why) despite privacy pass. The Mint REALLY screwed up on this one royally. I hope that folks take a few min to write the Mint Director. This is THE WORST EVER.

    Congrats to the people that gotten the gold. That makes what, 4 members that have gotten it?

    Sure wish I was one of them. I'd never sell. Want it for collection. Flippers killing it.

    I think 2 got it today alone.

    I am on iPad. Never got banned. How do you get banned when there is no traffic on mint site. I am guessing you did it just now. Use another device if possible.

    The site just profoundly sucks.

    I don't think it has to do with how much traffic is on the site but how many times someone tries to log into it is my guess. It is just such a cluster who would ever design software to Bann someone's own customers??

    I received a gold on initial launch. Was ecstatic, however yesterday got email that was cancelled due to item no longer being available. Imagine my frustration discovering that they're restocking gold even though cancelling mine from being out of stock. Makes no sense and customer support is of no help lol

    That is not a good sign. I would talk to a supervisor. Tell them you should be reinstated because you know they are in stock early morning each day.

    At least you’re in good spirits about it. Most would be pissed, especially if their plan was to flip.

    It’s sad when you buy something, your credit card is charged, you get an order acknowledgment and confirmation, and yet you can’t trust getting what you bought until you get a shipping notice.
