With back to school shopping finally behind me, I am focusing on the next large financial drains. One of those is Christmas and another is our second honeymoon. I was beyond thrilled when I found out about Smarty Pig, and I totally HAD to share it with you!
Smarty Pig is an online savings piggy bank that people use to save up for different goals. My new short term goal is Christmas and my long term goal is my second honeymoon. With Smarty Pig I can set up the amount of money I want to save and set up automatic fund transfers from an existing account. Smarty Pig makes it easy to share your goals with friends and family on sites like facebook or twitter and they can actually help you along. I don't expect my friends and family to hook me up for Christmas presents, but you never know who might want to bless us with some second honeymoon love. :)
You start by defining your goal and then deciding how much money you want to put away for that goal. Then you make at least a $25 deposit which is withdrawn from your bank. Smarty Pig will automatically make monthly transfers from your account to your Smarty Pig account for that goal. You can also put in money at any time you wish and again friends and family can donate as well. Smarty Pig is FDIC insured and funds from $0 to $50,000 earn an interest rate of 2.133% (2.15% APY). When you reach your goal you can use the money to purchase retail gift cards, put the money on a debit card or have it transferred back to your account. You can also edit your goal at any time and stop at any time.
When you use your goal money on gift cards you get a percentage back depending on the gift card that you choose. And again you can also choose to have the money put on a Smarty Pig debit card or have the money transferred back to your savings or checking account.
