Can someone explain what the benefit of the coupons are for the Bronze Membership. It's still unclear to me after looking at the website.

The coupons are IN ADDITION to the discounted prices for grading services

The 2- Day Modern coupons let you submit Modern books (1975-present) at the 2-day turnaround tier (they are graded and leave the CBCS office within 2 business days) for free.


The Fast Pass coupons allow you to add the Fast Pass option, which cuts the current turnaround times for standard grading services in half, for free

When you buy the membership you get 2 coupons for a two-day modern grading and 3 coupons for fast pass. The 'getting' is metaphorical as you don't get a physical coupon or even an email; CBCS just knows that you have those coupons.

When you get some books together to send in, as long as they qualify for 2-day modern, you can submit them under that grading tier and write something like "please use my 2-day modern membership coupon" on your order form. CBCS will see that when they get your books and start processing your order and grade it accordingly. Similarly, if you have an order and want to fast pass a few books, submit them with fast pass and write on the order form that you want to use your coupons.

It would be nice if there was a place for you to enter coupons on the website or if they sent you any record of your coupons, but they exist as long as you remember them.

You might be asking, why get the membership when I can do 2-day or fast pass without one? The membership is roughly the cost of those coupons, so you're kind of pre-paying for them. But once you have a membership the cost of submissions and stuff like fast pass goes down. So if you were already going to send in some books, and you would use the coupons or something close to them anyway, the membership is worthwhile. If you have nicer books to send in that would have to go under rapid or 1-day, I would get those memberships instead.

I hear their hourly rate is outrageous! sportshort private msg quote post Address this user
@dielinfinite

If you sent in different tiers ("two day modern" & "fast pass" at the same time they need to be shipped either separately or with two separate packing slips or they will all come back together (slowest tier) and therefore negate any advantage of the faster "two day modern" offer.

Let me know if I got this right.

@sportshort That's right. Happened to me on my first CBCS submission. I assumed they would be shipped back when they were done, and that's not how it works.
