Has anyone ever heard of the site called Bond Rewards? It's really cool. Basically you shop online as you normally would at over 500 sites and they give you a percentage of what you spend in savings bonds (sites like eBay, Barnes and Noble, Sony Music, Circuit City, Netflix, Overstock, and MANY more). Once you get your account up to $50, they send you a $50 bond in the mail. They are U.S. savings bonds, so I'm not sure if there's any way for non-U.S. members to sign up, but there might be. They are registered with the better business bureau and have a good rating. What's best of all is that there's NEVER a fee to use the site...and no, they don't charge you extra for your purchases! And your "Bond Dollars" (as they're called) never expire. I've only been using the site for a few weeks and I'm already up to almost $40.
If you're interested, please e-mail me your name and e-mail address to bovine@enter.net . I would just post the address here, but I get 25 cents in bonds just for sending you the informational e-mail through their site and another $5 if you sign up and make a purchase. Oh, the e-mail you get is absolutely a one-time thing if you don't sign up. If you do sign up, they seem to contact you once a week tops, probably less...so don't worry about spam.
I didn't want to just "grab" people's e-mail addresses, because that's just rude! But if anyone has interest in this program, get in touch.
Thanks!
