FREE Queen's Jubilee Coin (£2.50 delivery)

MrsPacker But beware that if you do keep it they will continue to send you the coins that follow this to complete the set and take payment like a subscription and the minute you want to take a Break from the Collection and at a later date want another of these Coins they Refuse, I have spent hundreds of pounds on sets that I was happy to get each Month, Then my Mum was unwell and I stopped the coins Because I was not going to be home when they arrived and rather have them sent and then returned because no one was here to get them I asked them to stop the collection and I would get back to them if I wanted to start collecting again I filled the application form and when I went to pay I got oops something went wrong, Then I got an email saying my order was Declined I certainly don’t owe them anything obviously they want me to pickup from where I stopped the collection, Your not obligated to continue with the collection or at least that’s what they tell you, I know full well that if I Ring them they will say I have missed ex amounts of sets due to stopping so if I want this one I have to go back to the years I stopped them.

marie009 Sorry to hear about this such bad practice ! But as the saying goes, there's nothing for nothing - so think on

MrsPacker so what your saying is the coin isn’t free then?

JenniferMa88814 the coin is free and you just pay postage and packing.

MrsPacker I am a bit confused on now, is there any further obligation, or just the 2.50 p & p, I really hope there will be no debits taken for a subscription?

jonlad just the 2.50 postage and packing.

MrsPacker thanks, I think clicking no is essential, just checked and all seems ok!

JoTarpley I did wonder too lol , nice keepsake from Gibraltar. Won'y be worth anything in years to come because it was produced in such high numbers and everyone that bought it will keep it. Little keepsake to remember Liz by though :-)

nicenurse21 agree, nice little coin to keep.

marie009,

It's more like a subscription buying platform.

They just want you in the loop for infinite ..

Even though, you have the option to cancel - it's just a hassle to deal with..

As the old saying 'There's no such thing as a free lunch'...!

Shelton Quite agree there with you, an offer to reel you in !

nicenurse21 Agree 100% I do wonder how many people on here who have said they have bought the coin actually realise that it’s a subscription type of thing, They should actually make that clear when they advertise they are always on TV saying get your Free Coin for the price of the postage, What they don’t say is they will send you every month the next coin that goes in that Collection

marie009 Have you reported your experience to trading standards ? would be interesting to see what they make of it :=)

marie009 I see a lot of coins advertised on TV too but they are not London Mint, there is The Royal Mint and I think The Westminster Collection are doing one now, I'm pretty sure I've never seen the London Mint advertise on TV!

JoTarpley I have seen the London Mint adverts on TV. They are all the same Each time anyone Applies for the so called Free Coin is Actually consenting to a Subscription service, You will get each coin in the set every Month

JoTarpley 8.3 – When you purchase a subscription, you will be given the option to nominate a credit or debit card which can be used to process payment for future coin shipments. If you choose not to opt for this service, you will be sent an invoice requesting payment for each subsequent coin issue. Recurring payment agreements for our subscription services are covered in the continuous payment authority section of our website. <<< This is from the terms and conditions

marie009 This specific coin isn't an automatic subscription, though it does give you the option to upgrade it for £19.95. I've added that into the description now for clarity.

sophiereddy it is a subscription every coin they do has a Follow on coin Because they all belong in a Set

marie009 yes it’s true. They do to everyone. It’s difficult to stop them.

sophiereddy The Above post is From the Coin website

jjgplatinum If you've paid £2.50, you shouldn't be charged again. I believe the confusion may be because there's an option to upgrade the coin for £19.95, therefore this would cost £22.45 instead. I've added this into the description for clarity.

sophiereddy it’s a Monthly coin every coin is part of a Set they reel people in with the Free Coin for the price of postage and every Month another coin will Arrive

actionjackson don’t understand why you think it’s funny that I had to pay £22.90?and actually how can latest deals take £5 commission too when everyone else only paid postage,if you don’t like latest deals why don’t you just remove yourself from it instead of being on here to have a pop!

xzenner this has been amended now thank you - no it's not made of Platinum and is purely a commemorative coin thank you
