iTunes gift cards from Coinstar machines
You may have seen
those Coinstar machines in your local supermarket. Basically, they
turn the coins you've collected in your change jar into bills (for a small fee, usually 8.9%). Recently, they've added
a few non-cash alternatives for you to choose from, like charitable donations and prepaid gift cards. Most recently,
iTunes gift cards have been thrown into the mix. Toss in your coins and out pops a gift card, all ready to go. Sounds
like a good "I-need-a-gift-right-now" solution.Unfortunately, none of the machines in my area are currently offering iTunes cards. You can use the official Coinstar Locater to check on your neighborhood.

Only Stores I see that are offering the e-certificates for i-tunes Giftcards are Harris Teeter Grocery Stores in the Northern Virginia area.. so yeh look for e-certificates under the services menu when you locate the stores near you.

I wouldn't trust their locater on the website. It says the closest Coinstar Machine is about 150 miles from my home, when in fact, I know of 5 in my city.

you forgot to mention the best part: the counting fee is waived when you choose the gift card option. so this means that your 99 cents actually gets you one whole song, instead of having to shell out the extra 13 cents!
