Question about United States Savings Bond

@WillaKissing Yeah forgot about them being open til 12. I am on the phone now waiting for them to pickup, but I'm not trusting google. There was a website with a calculator, you enter the series the bond is, the serial number and it shows you what the value is after maturity. So naturally I would want that value if I cash it in, and not the face value.

Since this is my only savings bond I have absolutely no idea about any of it. I wouldn't be surprised if they tell me I have to go to the issuing bank to cash it in. But I did the online search and looked at many results, not just one, so that I can find maybe many people who have also had a savings bond and read their stories and just gather that information.

And yes I would be $25 more off than what the day started. So either way it's a plus.

@twiigss Good luck and best of wishes with it.

@twiigss Correct. You don't get your cake and eat it, too.

@4meAndyou I know lol. Never hurts to try though! I figured I would look it up anyway and just see.

@4meAndyou My current bank used to cash them but no longer does. My old bank cashes them but you gotta be a member there. At my old bank she said, they would cash it at the full value that it's worth after maturity, so I would get the $108.27 value of the savings bond.

Best thing I could do is call around to other banks and see if they'd cash it without being a member but I doubt it. And to cash it at my old bank, I have to be a member for 6 months or I would be charged to cash it. So banks are all closed now, it'll have to wait til next week.
