Bond, US Bond

August 24th, 2005 at 06:43 am

I got my 50$ back - both the bank and the transfer agent were wrong. 35, not 85. Then again, how hard could the research be? I have crappy handwriting - but not bad enough to convert a "TH" into an "EI" on the check.

Sister mailed me the paper savings bond with my name on it. Its a EE with 7-1991 issue date. I'm in the process of converting the paper bond into an online one because its way easier to redeem them (don't have to find the oldest bank teller and hope that you don't get a confused look). So far, its pretty straightforward.
You have to get an invite to convert your bond - I sent an email for how to ask for one, and I was sent one.
With the bond in your hot little hand, you register your bond - name, issue date, type, serial number, etc.
You make a manifest, listing out the bonds you've registered. You sign the manifest instead of the back of your bond.
You mail the bond and the manifest to the US Treasury.
You cross your fingers... Smile And you watch from your account its progress.
