Mint wants to pay off your holiday bills! Tell Mint (www.mint.com) your “holiday debt-ache” story in video or written words and they’ll pay up to $5,000 of your holiday debt plus free credit counseling!

Play up the drama, originality, and humor because viewers/readers determine if you qualify to win. Get friends and family to rate your video/story to increase your chances of winning.

The contest opens January 31, 2008 and ends March 31, 2008. Two grand prize winners will be awarded on April 1, 2008–one for the best video and one for the best story. Pay off holiday credit card debt, fund your IRA before April 15, or even pay your taxes.
