Lending Club $25 Bonus
Lending Club was kind enough to allow me to offer my readers a special promotion: Open a lending account and receive a $25 bonus. You can use this bonus to make your first loan. To take advantage of this promotion, please click on this specific promotional link. Many of my readers have gotten the bonus and have enjoy their experience.
Here’s what to do:
- Go though this Special Lending Club link
- Fill in your name, email, password, and make up a user ID.

- Add your bank account and wait them to withdraw an amount less than $1
- Wait for a few days, and verify the amount that has been withdrawn.

So to summarize…
1. buy 3 of these cards for $25 value each.
2. You can immediately load $25 more on to each card (before making any purchases?)
3. Wait a couple weeks until your value is $75 on each card.
4. Cash out at an ATM for $1.50 fee (if it’s your bank will you be charged another fee too)?
5. Close the account having made $70.50.
Alternatively you could spend your $225, but cashing out at an ATM might be easier and worth a few bucks especially if you have other spending deals going on.
Does this sound right?
