Why would you lend a company money, interest-free, when you could put it in a savings account, invest it, pay for something else, etc.?

- pmoriarty 8y agoThere's no reason that the company couldn't pay interest on the money you lent it.

- megous 8y agoWhy not? I've decided to spend the money in the next few months on the service already, so the money is allocated anyway. I do it regularly. It also avoids paying the card companies' fees, because I can just wire the money. A lot of serices are structured this way, anyway. Download services, hosting services, even marketplaces like Etsy. Really, Etsy's model sounds more like an exception from my POV. But I'm not in the US.
