If you want to take these offers you should be investing in some serious business not high yield stuff... takes money to make money so i see why you are interested in taking advantage of opportunity but you need to find better investments.

Lending Club investing is not without risk. You will potentially be putting a strain on your relationship with your creditors. Its just not worth it for the small return.

 

If you could scale it up to say a million dollars borrowed at 0% with no risk on the pricniple and a 1% return that might be worth it but why mess with your creditors for $200?

 


Right, my thought was that is perhaps slighlly borderline behavior, and if you are happy doing that, there are things that are much more profitable with similar or less risk.

Why go through all that trouble? Just send money from slate into checking.
