Earlier this week, I asked about your favorite credit card. Today, I’d like to direct your attention to a credit card shredding contest that PerkStreet Financial and Lending Club have cooked up.
Here’s the deal: Simply shred your credit card in the most creative way possible, capture it on video, and submit the resulting video to ShredYourCreditCard.com for a chance to win up to $1000.
The contest is open December 15th through January 28th, complete with public voting. The final judging will take place from January 29th to 31st, with winners being announced on the 31st.
Even if you’re not interested in participating, you can still take a peek at the entries as they come in. Who knows, maybe you’ll see something that will inspire you to finally take the bull by the horns and get out of debt.
No, this isn’t for me; hate to ruin my credit score for shutting and shredding my credit card; the longer you hold on to your credit card the better score you will get.
I have a Capital One card that I need to shred. Perhaps taking it “out-back” and blasting it with the 12-gauge shotgun…
Sounds fun but I’m not the target audience. I love my Schwab thank you very much. 🙂
