About a year and a half ago, we refinanced our house with a much lower interest rate.  We also cut it down to a 15-year mortgage (and we still have a huge goal of paying it off as fast as we can in the next few years).  Before we submitted the paperwork, I wanted to get an idea where our credit score was, so I checked it on freecreditscore.com.  It was easy to do, and pretty accurate when I compared it later with our bank’s score. 

If you are needing to check your score, you can do so at freecreditscore.com. Plus, they currently have a big contest running where you can win some great prizes!  If you head over to the freecreditscore.com, you can find out about a fun contest called “Make A Better Commercial Than We Did.”

There are several ways to enter the contest.  You can write in and suggest your own ending to the commercials to win one of six $2,000 weekly prizes.   It looks like you could also win a couple pounds of expensive honey (non-video only) or “something just as intriguing.”

If you want to really go for the gold, you can create your own video and upload it to the website and you could win $25,000!

Check out this video for more details:

To get started, head over to freecreditscore.com.  If you write in an entry, it doesn’t look like it will take long at all.  Of course, you could get pretty creative and make your own video ending…and win $25,000!!

I also wanted to share one other benefit freecreditscore.com has on their site.  They have recently introduced a new tool to help you be smarter about understanding your credit called the Score Planner.  This shows you how positive, negative, and other credit behaviors will impact your future credit score.  This may be helpful for you if you have a home purchase or other large purchase on the horizon.

*Score Planner is free to everyone. Free score applies with enrollment in freecreditscore.com.
