    Thanks, greenie! I subscribed to the ATB pucks. That's a decent discount. Not to mention, there are some nice designs coming out next year.

    How fast will the puck's sell out with this discount?

    I think you'll be a little embarrassed when you find out what you've been doing wrong.

    That may not even be an issue. Last year, the first Mint puck didn't go on sale until the middle of May. By then, they might have already cancelled the promotion. I am not usually a betting person, but I would bet the deal is gone by mid-May.

    They list the offering as being on a trial basis. Shoot, I hope you're wrong Treehugger.

    Thank you for this help as I too was struggling to complete this process. I was afraid if I completed the shopping cart, they would send me this years, not subscribe me for 2014.

    I had 3 subscriptions for 2013 and I canceled them all because I couldn't figure out how to update the quantities.

    Thanks to your help, I am now set with my subscriptions for 2014!!!

    I'll probably only sign up for the items that, after the discount, would basically give me free shipping!! I had subscriptions in the past but decided to cancel them because I would rather wait and group items together.

    That way I only ended up paying for shipping once With the subscriptions each item shipped separately and so I had to pay for shipping each time :(

    Some one has to bail out the USPS for undermining our economy by providing free delivery for Chinese stuff :)

    Never did call, but you were 100% correct on what was wrong. Would it really be that hard to post on the main subscription page that you need to complete a checkout to activate it?!? Sheesh! I had 11 transactions in my cart.............now everyone can go off and laugh at me........im a silly little boy sometimes

    You don't get billed until they ship. You will get an email prior to that so you can cancel if you change your mind. They don't all come at once.

    Oh, I deleted the 11 items i had built up in my cart. It was for 11 subscriptions of yearly silver proof sets and right now I only want one for my collection.

    I just didnt realize that in order to activate a subscription, you had to complete a checkout process after selecting the products you wanted. A user pointed me in the right direction up here and made the point i would have a shopping cart full of all of the attempts i made last week...which i did.....apparently i tried over 10 times to get a subscription in and I think i finally made it....yeee---haaawwww.
