Only Caveat - has to be a new lender for them.
Very generous.
Remember that Zidisha charges nothing for payments made by check. Also where PayPal payments incur a 3.5% fee, you can recoup some of it by using a reward credit card.
Until Flyertalk establishes its own team, please join the Milepoint team. We travelers need to stick together.
A suggestion: use PayPal for your first couple of loans then use your bank's BillPay option to send a check to Zidisha. That let's you make immediate loans as you get started while saving fees if you continue.
