Got loose change? Take it to a Coinstar kiosk. Theres a fee if you want cash back, but gift cards are fee-free. (Find nearby kiosks on Coinstar.com; fees vary, but 10.9% is typical.)
Most banks have done away with coin machines. One exception is BB&T. Customers can cash in up to $25 in change without a fee.

Credit card rewards points can pile up fast. They can also expire. Redeem your points for cash before they do. Most card issuers will cut you a check for the value of your points. Or, opt for a statement credit or a gift card.
