I called "the bond office" (not treasury direct) today to see how many more bonds I can purchase before the year ends and credit cards are no longer accepted. I was under the impression that one is entitled to buy $30,000.00 a year per SSN#. However, I was informed today that one can purchase 30k of E series, 30k of I series and an additional 30k with the new electronic bond if you set up an account. Therefore, it would be possible to buy 90k a year of bonds with one SSN#.

One additional point: If you're able to buy more bonds with a TreasuryDirect account (electronically), such an account doesn't have a way to purchase using a credit card. I opened one as a test account, and the only way to purchase is using electronic funds transfer from your bank account.
