      Yeah, I think their portal to create an account got the hug of death, unfortunately.

      On the contrary, it's lovely. And there are no ads.

        Entering your password by clicking a virtual keyboard with a mouse is anything but lovely. It's actually quite insane, when you consider the year we're in. But also, just to be fair, the rest of the site has decent UX.

          except the back button breaks it and logs you out, at least when I bought mine.

    Which is for non-average Joes too :-) That is the only place you can buy I Bonds. They aren't marketable securities you can buy and sell anywhere else.

      You can also buy them (an extra $5k) when you send in your tax return but it's kind of a messy process
