The wildest parts of those forum threads were the people whose coin shipments were lost or delivered to the wrong address. Intense panic after they realized they might have lost thousands of dollars in the process of chasing a tiny cash back or reward bonus. It was also fascinating to watch it all break down in the end, as banks stopped accepting bulk deposits of the coins. A lot of panicked people trying to find some way to get their thousands of dollars of coins back into their checking accounts after every bank in town turned them away. IIRC, some credit card companies also stopped paying rewards on those purchases or closing accounts due to the obvious manufactured spending, making all of the risk and work pointless.
