noreply@blogger.com (FreeMoneyMaker) — Fri, 04 Jan 2008 03:17:00 +0000

Besides their $25/$50 sign-up bonus, Lending Club is now offering a 5% cash bonus if you lend $5,000 or more by February 3, 2008. That is at least a $250 bonus, and it will be credited to your account by February 15th, 2008.

Here are the details from their website:

[Lending Club wants to thank our lending community by rewarding you with a 5% cash bonus if you lend $5,000 or more by February 3, 2008. This bonus can be used to lend or can be withdrawn to your linked checking account.

You will qualify for the bonus by lending $5,000 or more to borrowers (at https://secure.lendingclub.com/portfolio/makeloans.action) between December 14th, 2007 and February 3rd, 2008 (at 11:59PM Pacific time). Your bonus will be 5% of the amount you lend.

For example, if you lend $7,500 Lending Club will credit your Lending Club account with $7,500 * 5% or $375. Funds count as lent once a portfolio (or portfolios) is submitted during the aforementioned eligibility period. The loans do not have to be issued by February 3rd to qualify.

No special sign-up or tracking is required – we will run reports on the system to determine bonuses. Feel free to email us at lender.offer@lendingclub.com to ask about your bonus.]

If you do not want to take the risk of lending $5,000, the $25/$50 sing-up bonus is still a good deal. See my personal report on the bonus below.

Report on the Lending Club $50 Bonus

noreply@blogger.com (FreeMoneyMaker) — Wed, 02 Jan 2008 04:11:00 +0000

Two weeks ago I posted about the Lending Club $25/$50 signup bonus, which is still available now. If you would like to sign up, see my post here for details.

In my opinion it is a great offer. There is NO hard credit pull. You do NOT have to lend or borrow any money. Your money is FDIC insured. And you can earn more for referring your family and friends.

Therefore, I signed up for a lender account on 12/18/07, and deposited $1,000 on 12/20/07 to get $50. Then I got totally $125 referral bonus within 5 business days. I would thank the readers who signed up through my referral link. Now I am waiting for the $100 ($50x2) referral bonus from my wife. My account activities are shown as below:

Date Description Amount
12/28/07 Referal Bonus $125.00
12/28/07 Transfer to external account $1,000.00
12/20/07 Transfer from external account $1,000.00
12/20/07 Lending Club verification debit $0.29

BTW, Lending Club might be another source of direct deposit besides PayPal and ING, as the transaction from Lending Club was shown as "DIRECT DEPOSIT DEPOSIT LENDING CLUB" in my bank account.

Happy new year and earn more in 2008!
