LendingClub is one of the most popular peer to peer social lending networks and they’re running a promotion where you get $25 if you sign up for a lender account. They’re trying to grow their membership rosters and you get the benefit, to the tune of $25!

Here’s how you do it:

• Sign up to LendingClub through this signup link. You must use that link to be eligible for the $25 bonus.
• Register for a new account by entering the necessary information.
• You will be asked to verify your identity and add a bank account.
• LendingClub will withdraw less than $1 to confirm the account is yours.
• Once the bank account is confirmed, deposit at least $1 and the $25 will be credited to your account.

At this point you can do whatever you want with the bonus. If you are eligible to invest in your state, I recommend investing in a loan because you have nothing to lose and you might earn the average 12% return on money that isn’t even yours to begin with!
