When I visit SE questions, I can see a "start a bounty" link, but I can't see it in meta sites? Am I not allowed to set bounty on meta (either here or on per-site metas)? Does it even make sense to do so, since per-site metas don't offer rep?

You can do it here, but this is not a per-site meta, it is a standalone entity.

You cannot create bounties on per-site metas.

Judging by the faq there is no bounty option. If would not really make sense anyway.

UPDATE

Seems that I'm wrong about it. There are featured questions.

  • I didn't find a mention in that faq. Can you give a quote?

  • Well that is actually what I meant. I can't find a word about bounties so I guess that there is no bounty option but apparently I'm wrong as there are featured questions around. SO it seems that I'm clueless.

  • Just because it's not mentioned on FAQ, does not mean that the option isn't there. Also, 'featured' doesn't necessarily mean that the question has a bounty on it.

  • There are featured questions which don't have a bounty?

    @Tshepang is referring to a different "featured" concept, Octavian. Overloaded term, as it were. As a question class, "featured" means "has a bounty on it". But there's also a special moderator-only tag "featured" that can be put on questions on Meta sites to advertise on the main Q&A. Note that this latter one doesn't have anything to do with the "featured" tab.
