Bond Rewards

bovine · Post by **bovine** » 9/27/2006, 4:58 am

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!

wait, what happened with the last one?

The last one? Maybe you mean 12 daily pro? Bond Rewards is nothing like 12 daily pro. This isn't a get rich quick thing at all. You'll make far less than you'll actually spend, but if you're going to shop online anyway, you might as well make a few dollars while you're at it, no? Unlike 12 daily pro (if that is even what you're referring to as the "last one") there are no fees associated with this site...no risk. There were a few of us on here that were on 12 daily pro and none of us said that there wasn't risk involved. There's no risk here though...absolute worst case senario is they close up shop and you don't get anything from them. But since you're only paying for stuff you would have bought anyway, you didn't really lose anything either.

What did happen with the whole 12 Daily Pro, I forget.

The gov't has control of the money and supposedly people who had money in the program will get it back at some point. My guess is that it will all get eaten up by legal costs and people with a few hundred dollars or more will be lucky to see $5. I was pretty fortunate in that I was pretty close to breaking even. I had something like $550 or so in 12 daily pro when it was shut down, but I had already profited close to that, so I was probably 10 or 20 bucks ahead or behind. I ended up a whole lot better off than many.

Oh, the site that is supposedly "working" at getting our money back is http://www.tlennonfor12dailypro.com I'm not counting on anything from that site, but I still check it every few weeks.
