Lending Club $100 Giveaway

How would you like to win a hundred bucks?
The fine folks from LendingClub are giving away $100 to one Bargaineering reader. As one of the only peer to peer lending marketplaces still doing business right now, Prosper entered a quiet period as it completes its regulatory filings. If you want to borrow or lend money, LendingClub is one of the only ways you can right now. A week ago, I posted a video explaining how peer to peer loan marketplaces like LendingClub are really helping people out of jams. Today, they’re ready to give a hundred bucks to one lucky reader.
Here’s what you have to do to get an entry in the contest:
- Leave a comment on this post before noon, February 20th, and,
- Become a free registered member of LendingClub.
The second requirement, to register for free at LendingClub as a lender, is so that they can deposit the $100 directly into your account. You can withdraw that money immediately (or invest it, your choice).
Easy right?
I’ll select a winner at high noon on February 20th, email them for their LendingClub username, and he or she will be credited with $100 in their account. Void where prohibited.
The contest has closed, Bobby was randomly selected to win the $100! I notified him tonight but if he doesn’t respond in a week, I’ll select another name.

i’m in.
Sounds good Jim.
$100 sounds good to me
Sounds awesome!
If you pick me, that means I can buy food for the next month without having to donate my blood and plasma…
It’ll be at random, so good luck to you.
Haha. I figured, Jim. I was kidding. (Mostly.)
Hahaha
Good luck!
I am already a lending club member and a prosper member. I signed up for both of them last year just before Lending Club went quiet as Prosper is now. I didn’t do much with either, but now that LC is done with the quiet period – it is a little more attractive. Add $100 – and it would definitely be very attractive.
I’m in!
Count me in…
Thanks Jim. I’m in.
Count me in too.
Here is my comment!
I am an active Lending Club lender…would love another $100!
I’m all about this.
Would love a chance to win-Thanks!
I realize that you are a fan of The Lending Club and are providing a link to them, but it would help to have a well-rounded report about them, as not all reports are glowing. Lending Club promotes itself through many contests, and they encourage websites to provide links to them by paying referral fees. Because of this practice, it is difficult to find unbiased reviews of The Lending Club.
Here is a review from someone who actually used the Club:

I don’t have a review at all because I can’t invest in anything in Maryland…
You can’t use it in MD?
You can’t invest, but if you win the $100, you can just withdraw it.
I’d love to win too!
Sounds good, thanks! I’m also a member of Lending Club.
I am already a member with lending club (well just recently) and have began investing in loans. I should write a review at some point documenting everything I have done.
I also recently joined Lending club after watching my accumulating funds in prosper languish.
Honestly, I find the Lending Club site to be much more refined and more easily understood than Prosper ever was.
FTW…
What an interesting idea. Definitely instill community too – wow.
Lending club is a good idea …
Oh oh, Pick me! Pick Me!!
Seems like an interesting way to invest money, although the skeptic in me would always be nervous about the guy on the other end. Maybe a cool $100 would help me get started…
I really enjoy using lending club.
