This sounds like spam, but it's not. Skip if you get to overwhelmed. I'm not naming names.

I love my secret internet back account.

I set this up about five years ago. It was a deal -- I got twenty-five dollars after twenty-five dollars were left in my account after three months. I checked up on it - it was a legit bank (Dutch, getting a foothold here in the US,) and I decided to go forth.

From my site, I set up payments from my different accounts (Google advertisements, Amazon commissions, CafePress commissions, etc.) and the money just gets deposited there, silently earning interest (and certainly better than I get at a brick and mortar bank.)

And I forget about it. Until I need money. Then I remember it and check it out. Yes! Google deposited $110. Forgotten again until, cool! Amazon for $56. Cafepress for $71.

It's kinda like a magickal piggy bank. Waiting to be cracked, and cracked again, and always swelling up with money.

They still have the aforementioned deal, but its a bit steeper - you have to deposit $250 for three months, but you get $25 after that period (and I get $10 for referring you. Coolio!)

Well, I just cracked it again. Swell, baby. Swell.
