Did the same with those $1 US coins when the mint was allowing you to purchase them for $1 free shipping. We would get as much as possible and then turn around

why would you pay $1 each for $1 coins and turn around and put that in the bank? I mean what's the purpose? I could see if you were keeping them as collectors items that might be worth more in the future, but once dropped in the bank you're back to where you started??

  It’s called manufactured spending and the idea is to be able to buy something and liquidate at the same price with no risk. The intent is to rack up points on credit cards for free travel or to manipulate credit scores.

  Did you just jump into a sub comment and it read prior comment? Lol credit card points. Then deposit and pay off what you spent.
