Win $100 from Lending Club

Lending Club is doing it again, they’re giving away a hundred bucks to one lucky Bargaineering.com reader! How can you beat that? (two hundred bucks? hint hint!)
For those that aren’t familiar with Lending Club, they’re a social lending network. Investors can join and invest in 3-year loans, with Lending Club handling all the interest payments, at interest rates far superior to what banks offer. Borrowers can join and borrow at rates that are usually better than the banks, especially in this lending environment. It’s really a win win situation for all involved.
So how do you win the hundred bucks? Very very easy, you must:
- Leave a comment on this post before noon, May 22nd, and,
- Become a free registered member of LendingClub. If you signed up already, no need to do it again and you are still entered into the giveaway.
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).
On May 22nd, I’ll select a winner and they’ll take home a hundred bucks!
Congratulations to Eric! Eric is now the proud new owner of a hundred bucks deposited into his Lending Club account.

I’m so in! I offered $100 from Lending Club a couple weeks ago, and it was a great contest. Lots of fun.
Months ago. I meant months ago
Count me in!
Although my state (Missouri) is not part of the Lending Club list, hopefully it will be soon.
Yay contests!
Count me in.
What a great contest. Chance at $100 bucks, with a guarantee of $1 BB. Can’t beat that.
Count me in! I wanted to try one of these sites but was a bit leery.
I just became a member. Do I need to fill-in my personal info too (SSN, etc.)? :O
Well my gross income doesn’t exceed 70k
I am with CuriousAG, my gross income doesn’t exceed $70K either.
Oh well.
Well Paige, we can still hope to be the lucky one rite
I started in with LendingClub a few months back after becoming sick of waiting for Prosper to come out of its quiet period.
Great Service. Great Site. Great Opportunity for borrowers and lenders.
Dan, unfortunately for Prosper, you are not alone. This is a great opportunity for Lending Club to increase their membership until Prosper gets back to business (except for CA residents who can once again invest).
im a member cool lets play!!!
how do you put the money in the acct ??
I’m in.
free money!!!! yeah
I’ll give it a shot!
here i am
Count me in!
Lending Club rocks! I like the lower minimum for investing, and the default rate on my investments has been much lower than on Prosper.
Do you have to be a new member? I’ve been in for about three months (getting a 9.8% return so far, knock knock).
No you don’t have to be a new member, anyone is eligible.
I’m interested in trying LendingClub. I’ll make sure to sign up before that date.
Sign me up. I’ve been using LendingClub for a couple of months now and it’s great!
We really like being a lender… more money to lend would be nice. Thanks!
count me in, too!
I’ve never heard of Lending club, but signed up and will investigate more. Thanks for the recommendation and the contest!

I hope this P2P idea becomes established and works out, long term. I also hope I win this Franklin!
Have joined and $$ await transfer. Looking forward to what’s ahead!!
Joined recently, would definitely like the hundred buckaroos!
I love Lendingclub. Woot!
I’m in!
I’d love some more money to invest in at Lending Club!!
Signing up right away…I’ve been meaning to look into these networks
Thanks for having the contest! Enjoying your site . . .
You should have posted a referral code i can use when i sign up. Too late now.
Hey brother!
Im in.
Just registered at LendingClub:-)
I love investing. Count me in
Count me in, and I might just have to throw down some BBs for extra entries. Hmmmm…
Count me in!
Add me in, thanks.
I would love another $100 to add to my LC account!
In!
Rock on. Investing and contests rock.
Count me in…thanks for the chance to win $100!
might have been nice to have the list of ineligible states before registering.
So, I registered, but cannot as an investor, as my state (Texas) is not yet “approved”.
Yeah, Maryland residents aren’t eligible either but you can still win the $100 and withdraw it.
YAY! I’m registered!
I signed up at LC with a referral from another blogger. Looks interesting.
In.
Count me in for the change. Hunter orange over here.
I’ll play too…thanks!
Count me in. I already have an account and I wanted to buy more notes, so this would be a great way to do it for free.
Well now what if I already registered with LC pre-contest? Hmm.? Hmm?
You are still entered into the contest! Registering today wasn’t a requirement, you just need to have an account there so they can easily transfer you the $100 should you win.
Would love to stimulate the economy with $100 in loans…
Ooo! $100 would sure be enough to play around with their Trading Platform. I’m in!
I hope I get picked! I need to earn some interest to pay off those crazy student loans!
I have registered.
$100 would be great, I am experimenting with lending club right now since Prosper is in dormancy still. Great contest!
Woohoo! — if chosen, I’d lend the $100 to someone trying to get out of debt and better their financial situation!
Here’s my entry.
Wow, with an offer like this, I can’t resist.
I have been lending on LC for a few weeks now and I love it!!!
Count me in!
I love lending club! $100 would double my current account value.
I am already a LendingClub lender. Here’s to my second entry! Yay!
(Almost) no investment and a fraction of a chance to win $100. It’s still good math!
I’ve been investing with Lending Club for around 8 months and I think that it is really cool. After I fully funded my Roth I began transferring my remaining savings over to lending club. I really like the idea of a predetermined return on investment as opposed to the stock market where there isnt much transparency and I’ll that you do is hope that the past returns continue. The only downside of lending club is that the money is very illiquid and unless you are willing to sell your noted before maturity you wont receive your investment back whenever you want.
Another risk is that the borrower defaults. LC does a good job about vetting borrowers but it still happens… makes you wonder about the mortgage mess.
I’m in…this would be awesome. Thanks Jim!
Just joined Lending Club– Would love to win!
I signed up about two weeks ago!… trying to lend money to students with good credit…
I am interested!
Count me in. I’ve been a LC member almost since day ONE. I already know some notes I can use that $100 to buy!
Yay!!! 3-cans of Similac baby formula
woo – count me in!
Count me in!
Count me in!
woohoo!
I love Lending Club
Singed up @LC some time back
Sign me up. Im in Ohio so I cant lend like I was on Prosper, but I have access to the notes platform. I have been thinking about getting in on a few of those.
-Kevin
This is just the “push” I needed. I’ve been thinking of signing up for a while now!
I just got my first payment back on my first loans. This will definitely help
count me in. Just created a Lending Club account. Thanks!
YES!!!!
Count me in
Count me in! Thanks!
I’ve been a lender at Lending Club for almost a year, and am very impressed with their service. Much better than prosper. $100 bonus would be very sweet!
I’d love to be entered into this contest. I love the idea of helping some folks start or expand small businesses. I understand this category makes up about 20% of the loans on Lending Club.
Count me in!
I joined the Lending Club, but because of where I live (Maine) I am ineligble to participate. Hopw I can still be in the contest!! I was excited about being able to help others out! Bummer that I can’t!
In! Love the idea of peer to peer lending!
In for the contest.
I just graduated college last May and this website is really helping to introduce me to the world of Finance, I opened up my first online savings account (argg HSBC dropped from 1.65 to 1.55) and registered with lending club already. 100 buck-a-roos would be awesome. I’m new ot all this finance stuff, but excited!!!
registered too, hope get picked:)
lending club is great! i’m looking forward to tracking my progress as a lender over the next few years. thanks for the contest entry!
I am in for the contest.
Count me in.
I have been a Lending Club member for a few months now and I really like it. I’m a poor student so I haven’t got as much right now to help those who are less fortunate than me, aside from donating my time to local causes. Although I know that at least it is something, it still doesn’t feel like enough during these hard times. I love that the sign-up bonus I got when I started gave me an extra $50 to buy some notes and help some others who are looking for that extra helping hand. Browsing the notes is interesting and it’s fun to think that I’m helping someone in my area thanks to the affiliations info. As an extra, it’s got me thinking more about focusing future investments toward peer-to-peer lending too. Thank you for posting this great opportunity for others to learn about social lending.
I guess the chance of me winning is pretty small…
At the moment, it’s slightly less than 1%. Considering it cost you only a few seconds to comment, I say it’s a pretty good bet.
I love the idea of lending club and I signed up for an account a month ago by using one of your special codes to get $25. With the $100 dollars I can invest it in more people. An idea for the next prize is you should give away Kiva gift cards.
Thanks for this post. I hadn’t heard of Lending Club before.
in for the contest…
Yay for giveaways! And $100!
Worth a shot! Thanks for the contest!
