When you go to Lending Club’s home page today you will see something new. They are running a contest to celebrate crossing $1 billion in total loans issued, something that will happen in the next few days. No doubt they saw the contest that I was running and decided they needed to one-up me….
Their contest will be potentially more lucrative than mine and a lot easier to win. Here is the deal. All you have to do is pay attention to when Lending Club breaks the $1 billion mark and place an investment order that same day. You could win a Lending Club golf bag and $1,000 or one of 100 Lending Club ball caps.
The details of the contest are here. And pay attention – they will definitely cross $1 billion in total loans in the next week. Of course, you will read about it here as soon as it happens. Good luck.
