With Memorial Day behind us, and Summer officially underway I’m giving away $50 to SmartyPig.com to one lucky reader. Think of it as a great way to kick off your summer.
Here’s How You Can Win:
1.) Subscribe to my RSS feed by clicking here
or…
2.) Subscribe to updates by email here
3.) Leave me a comment below to let me know that you subscribed to my feed and you’ll be added to the drawing.
4.) If you’re already a subscriber, then your awesome and leave me a comment to let me know.
The rules are pretty simple:
1.) The contest is only open to U.S. residents [sorry XboxForNappyRash]
2.) The contest is open to anyone who subscribes to updates via RSS or email. (see above)
3.) You MUST leave me a comment…if you don’t, you’re name won’t be added to list.
4.) The contest will run for 7 days. If you leave me a comment before midnight on the 7th day you’ll be added to the list.
I’ve decided to extend the contest 3 more days. Since I’m hosting the Manival this week, I’m selfishly wanting some more exposure to this contest. The official cut-off will be Saturday, June 7th @ 12:00pm CST.
5.) The winner will be chosen by the best method I know how. I’ll put everyone’s name into an Excel file and I’ll assign each entry a unique number using the =RAND() function. I’ll then sort by that random number and who ever comes up first (with the lowest number) WINS!
That’s the best way I know to pick a winner…It will also allow me to email the results to anyone who wishes to see them.

“Opening an account on SmartyPig is absolutely FREE. In fact, you can open your account, create a goal, reach your goal, and redeem your goal, and SmartyPig won’t charge you a thing.
SmartyPig savings accounts are held in West Bank (NASDAQ: WTBA) and are FDIC insured, so consumers can be confident their financial information and savings are secure. SmartyPig also utilizes the services of VeriSign, HACKER SAFE and TRUSTe.
SmartyPig is the only banking application that is social. The technology is one-of-a-kind. SmartyPig allows family and friends to help consumers reach their savings goals. This is free to SmartyPig customers, as well.
SmartyPig has been described as “Banking 2.0″ and is a cool way for parents trying to teach their children about good financial habits in a world where the concept of saving up for something before buying it has become foreign.
SmartyPig currently offers the highly competitive interest rate of 3.9% (Annual Percentage Yield)* and will always maintain a competitive interest rate for account holders.
SmartyPig gives consumers even more for their money by offering additional incentive boosts (up to 5%) from best-in-class retailer partners like Best Buy, Restoration Hardware, Pottery Barn, Sandals and Home Depot when they reach a savings goal.
SmartyPig’s smart, simple and secure approach to savings teaches the benefits of good financial habits, reverses the credit card “buy now, pay later” mentality and makes saving money a fun and easy experience.”
And that’s pretty much it
Good luck to everyone. And please let me know if you have any questions. The winner will be announced within 24 hours after the end of the contest. You will receive and email from me (dtwainright [@] gmail [dot] com).
