Can I buy gift certificates?

A: Not currently. We provide gift certificates as donations to events but do not offer them for sale. To buy a gift subscription, simply create a new subscription but provide your friend's address. If you do not want the subscription to auto renew, simply cancel the subscription immediately after payment is sent. We will continue to send coins for the subscription period, but the subscription will not end.

I want to upgrade or modify my subscription, can I?

A: To modify or upgrade a subscription, simply sign up for the new subscription you would like and email info@geocoinclub.com with your old subscription ID and request cancellation and refund of any remaining months. Why do we do it this way? Previously, we allowed you to modify your current subscription. However, with PayPal they will not make the change until the end of your current subscription period. So if you are 1 month into a 6 month subscription and wish to make a change, using the old way you would have to wait 5 months for the change to take effect - not so great! This new method allows us to process your changes more immediately. You will not experience a gap in service. .

About the Geocoin Club

Who is behind the Geocoin Club?

The Geocoin Club was started by Rusty (Rusty), Mike (Trippy1976), and Ben (Bjorn74) in June 2005. Mike and Rusty carry on the tradition of producing great new coin designs each month to this day! Over the course of the summer, dozens of coin designs were created and critiqued resulting in a beginning portfolio of coin designs that they believed to represent the heart of the sport we all love, Geocaching. We have been caching for almost 13 years, have found thousands of geocaches, have placed a bunch of geocaches, and planned events attended by thousands (Mike is co-founder and co-planner for MWGB since 2005). They have been involved in forming several Geocaching organizations and planning major events. They live in different states (Michigan and Florida). Our combine experience in caching, distinct caching locales, and friendships make us uniquely qualified to provide this kind of service.
