So this is totally a shameless plug on my part, but hey...you get free money too! I've been seeing ads for Revolution MoneyExchange all around the web and never paid much attention to it until Crystal posted about it. (and I trust her to really look into things) Then Tammy posted about it and I finally signed up.
Revolution MoneyExchange is an online service you would use to send and receive money. Like say you sold something or you owe a friend a few bucks, you just go online and send it right from RME. (just like with paypal) Basically this company is out to really give paypal some major competition! And I think they may just do it too, seeing as how paypal charges the seller a fee and RME does not. Personally I'll be switching over to RME for all my photo stuff.
The best part about it is that they are giving away $25.00 to everyone that signs up right now. All you do is sign up with Revolution Money Exchange and they put $25.00 cash into your account. You can choose to give them your bank account information and then they transfer it from your RME account to your bank account, or they can send you a check (minus the $2.50 check fee)
I'll get $10.00 for every referral. :-)
It literally takes just a few moments to type in some of your personal info and then presto, you're $25.00 richer. Then you can refer people and in turn earn some referral $ for yourself.

So I did this - do you have to add a bank account before they'll give you the free $25 do you know???
Yea. You have to set up an account like with paypal. Looks like they're trying to butt into the paypal market.
OK, so you may not have, have to give them a bank account #, it looks like they can send you a check for the $ too, they just then take a fee out of it. Whatever. I have an account set up just for paypal stuff anyways.
Please read their privacy policy which states they can share your personal information including name and social security number - don't sell your identity for $25.00!

Amy,
I understand completely that some people may not feel comfortable giving out this information. I in no way would want someone to sign up if it causes them any unease.
Unfortunately we 'sell our identity' every time we open a bank account or apply for a loan. Each bank has their own privacy policy, and most sell information to third parties or at least within their own parent companies. (Paypal has the same basic privacy policy as Revolution Money Exchange.)
Actually that is not true - Paypal will NOT share your information.
"Disclosure to Third Parties Other Than PayPal Customers
PayPal will not sell or rent any of your personally identifiable information to third parties."
There are some exceptions that can be read on their website - but their policy is NOT the same as RME's.
I have a real bad feeling on this one - stuff that's sounds too easy, usually has a catch.
You may easily 'opt out' of any information sharing. After you log in, click the help button, and scroll down to see 'privacy policy' on the bottom left. At the end of the policy there is a form that you fill out and send in. No biggie.
