Possible Relief For Holiday Debt

How much did you spend this past holiday season? Even after budgeting and planning, it's quite possible that you, like others, racked up too much debt while holiday shopping. Mint.com wants to help. From January 31, 2008 until March 1, 2008, Mint.com is taking submissions for their "Holiday Spending Hangover Cure" contest. Entrants submit videos or stories about their holiday spending for a chance to win $5,000 toward their holiday debt.

Don't charge up your credit cards now in hopes of winning the contest. Winners can only use the $5K to cover credit card balances as of December 31, 2007.

For more details and to submit your entry, visit contest.mint.com.

"I thought I'd win a contest," isn't a good reason to fall behind on your credit card payments. If you decide to enter, play it smart and keep making your normal credit card payments on time.
