Series I Savings Bonds

I used these instructions, but no cigars.  All that shows up after this, "Split my refund between multiple accounts or U.S. savings bonds. Select Continue and follow the instructions," are three bank routing entries. Nothing for savings bonds.

.

IRS's Filing Season 2024: Form 8888 and Series I Savings Bonds indicates this can be done in 2024

    seems that notice for "2024 filing season" was issued Nov 2023 for 2023 tax year.  As of Jan 1 2025 they've stopped doing issuing I-bonds for refunds for 2024 tax year.  See this notice from Treasury Direct
