We have a winner! Angela won the $100 Visa Gift Card from PerkStreet. Thanks for playing, and check back often for more contests.
If you’ve had a look at interest rates recently, you know that finding a bank that offers more than 1.5% interest is next to impossible. Our economy hasn’t had the sharp turnaround many had hoped for and one of the areas continuing to suffer is the banking industry. Here to help is Perkstreet, the online checking and debit card solution for anyone looking to earn big rewards on their online checking account.
First, let’s talk about the PerkStreet 2% cash back debit card. If you sign-up for a PerkStreet account and maintain a balance of $5,000, you will earn 2% cash back on all purchases made. That $5,000 is important because if your balance to start the day is less than that, you will earn just 1% on purchases made that day. In addition to the 2% cash back on all purchases, PerkStreet members can earn 5% cash back on rotating categories throughout the year. That 5% promotion has now been extended to include holiday purchases!
You will earn 5% cash back on all non-PIN debit card purchases at the following popular holiday retailers until 1/31/2012:
- Art Supply, Craft, and Fabric Stores
- Sport and Athletic Clubs
- TurboTax®
To kick awareness of this promotion off, PerkStreet is offering one lucky DoughRoller reader a $100 Visa gift card. To be entered, you can do one of two things (or both!)
- Sign-up for a PerkStreet account and leave a comment with your name (5 entries)
- Leave a comment answering this question: “If your bank gave you $600, what would you spend it on?” (1 entry)
The winner will be chosen at random on Monday, October 18th. Only one sign-up and question answered will be allowed for each participant so please, no duplicate entries. The winner will be contacted by PerkStreet within 10 days of contest closing.

If I was given $600.00, I would: save 1/6th of it for a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner. Another 1/6th of it would be for my son’s first birthday that is coming up in exactly two weeks from now, on the 27th of October. One-third of it would be for winter clothes for my family. The last third of it would be split up into a Christmas tree savings fund, presents, and a $50.00 donation to St. Joseph’s Indian School in Chamberlain South Dakota for abused Native American children. (www.aktalakota.org). Thanks for giving me an extra reason to think about what I might do with $600.00
If my bank gave me $600 I would use the money to pay some bills. I know it sounds oh brother kind of answer but that is what I would have to do at this time. I might save some for a fun since everyone in this world deserves a little fun now and then.
I would spend it on new golf clubs! Not bills, not practical stuff like that at all…
