Don't Forget!

Today is your last day get to a $25 sign-up bonus for joining Revolution Money Exchange.

In case you missed my earlier post, this is a new on-line money transfer service, similar to Paypal. It is backed by an actual bank but is a non-interest bearing account. You can link any bank account to you RME account and then send anyone money using just their email address. The advantage over Paypal is there are no charges to receive money.

This could be a great service if you sell things on Etsy, Ebay, or even Ravelry. (I'm hoping to get the Etsy thing going before Christmas and plan to use RME whenever I can.)

The other thing I could see using it for are those times when siblings go in on a shared gift. How much of a pain is it to send a check to Mary Jane in Michigan every year for your $10 share of Grandma's fruitcake? Or how about the next time you arrange a camping trip/concert tix/bachelor(ette) party and need to collect funds from your co-workers and friends?

Anyway, I think Revolution Money Exchange just might have a good thing going. If you think you'd ever use it, or just want to collect your $25 and run, then click the button on the right and spend 2 minutes setting up an account.
