A $25 Freebie
A fairly new service called RevolutionMoneyExchange is offering $25 to anyone who signs up before May 8, 2008. It is aiming to be a competitor to ebay and does much the same sort of thing. You can use it to send money for free to other people and collect money for free from other people. So imagine using it to collect money from your office-mates for Administrative Assistant day or pooling money from siblings for a Mother’s Day present (coming up on May 11!). It is free to join. I did so yesterday and have the $25 in my account already.
There are a lot of other places that have written about this service that you might want to check out as well.

One thing you would want to do if you join is to choose to Opt Out by sending in a signed opt-out form from their privacy statement once you join. This prevents you from getting snail-mail junk mail. You do have to give them your SSN but that is because they hold all the money in a bank and bank accounts have to have an SSN tied to them (they don’t do a credit check). Happy free money!
