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 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.
