no colorado boy! dont u see that if u let other states know... they might take it away from us? geeeez.

kain9i6 · 10-29-2002, 03:12 PM

What's the catch?!?! They send you $50 bux to join their little club or whatever... But, what do you owe them?? What are the fees for the club?? Are there girls in the club?? Free food?? A CLUBOUSE EVEN!?!?!

No serious, there has to be a catch.. nothing is free.. (well.. almost nothing)

Kevster · 10-29-2002, 03:40 PM

I'm actually going to send this in. Let's see what happens.

glockness · 10-29-2002, 04:45 PM

The catch is... the bond takes somewhere around 15-20 years to mature..

If you go to the bank right now, you might get $0.02

flergum · 10-29-2002, 05:27 PM

So put it away for your kids or future kids. Give it as a gift. Pocket the .02 cents. Whatever you want. What is the postage for a postcard???

InfiniteNothing · 10-29-2002, 06:46 PM

Do not give your bond to the bank. I will 100X the going rate and give ANYONE 2$ CASH For their 50$ bond.
Postage is .23$ I think.

flergum · 10-29-2002, 07:57 PM

I will increase that offer to $5 for your bond.

InfiniteNothing · 10-30-2002, 12:08 AM

Thank you for topping my post. My point was that what these bonds are worth is significant. I'd bet that someone will pay good money for these. I'd say these are worth at least $12 maybe up to $45. I for one bid $15 cash on anyones bonds.
BTW if I did my intrest right these will be worth $135-174 in 25 years depending on what kind of (I'm assuming US) savings bond it is

flergum · 10-30-2002, 12:13 AM

Fine. My bid is $12.01

J-Dogg · 10-30-2002, 12:25 PM

Man, I still haven't gotten my George Foreman grill... I wonder if this stuff will start showing up soon.. Has anyone received more than one item?

Paymaster · 01-13-2003, 09:23 PM

OK... so I got the form to fill out (to recieve the actual savings bond), and it is asking for a clever clubhouse "member number". It also says that "incomplete forms will not be processed".

Hmmm... I'm gonna leave it blank, unless anyone else has better advice...

Actually if u goto the bank now with it, u cant cash it. theres a clearing period u hafto wait for with the EE bonds.

zippyjuan · 01-14-2003, 02:32 AM

I sent in my 3x 5 card in an envelope sometime in November and just got the application form today. I left the Membership Number blank. The bond will be worth $50 when it matures-whenever that is. The form didn't say what the term is. I also got the Forman Grill and CD player and digital camera.

jimmyT · 01-18-2003, 12:46 PM

the note that came with the form has a membership number for us freeloader. returned the form more than a month ago. nothing yet.

Just to let you guy know it does work!! So far I got my George Foreman Grill, and two digital cameras. I think I will fill out this one to all my relatives. HEee hee hee. Thanks for the tips!!

Hey I just notice that MyPoints.com of offering all this free stuff for California is starting to stop and not offer it anymore. I know because all my new MyPoints email don't have this know of offer for the same stuff.

never received my savings bond so I have called them at the number on their website and they are looking into it.

zippyjuan · 04-23-2003, 12:05 AM

This is an old thread and the offer is no longer in effect, but I just wanted to say that I actually got my $50 savings bond today! Now all I have to do is wait 30 years for it to mature. It is a series EE bond from the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City.

aznaphrodite · 04-23-2003, 01:27 PM

wow! That's cool that you got it.

I sent in the voucher a million years ago and haven't heard anything since.

Hey Zippy, did you enter in your actual SS# or did you put in all zeros? I was just curious, thanks!

victant · 04-23-2003, 05:55 PM

I received mine yesterday. I sent in my actual SNN, and it's actually printed on the saving's bond itself.

zippyjuan · 04-24-2003, 02:25 AM

Same as Victant.
