New Year, New Adventures eBillme $100 Giveaway

Other posts by DesertMama

For three months my husband and I have been victims of credit card fraud. The charges are from online shops we have never heard of and yet we’re stumped at how anyone could have swiped our credit card information to make the charges. Except… I’m a big fan of online shopping – I have been ever since becoming mama to two little people who make “store shopping” impossible. Since online is the only place I use credit cards, we’re pretty sure we know how it happened – we just don’t know how or when.

I recently met an eBillme representative who explained to me that eBillme assists shoppers in paying online with cash, which guarantees online shopping security. The eBillme experience is simple: You checkout using eBillme and pay for your purchase through your bank’s online bill pay portal. (Simply list eBillme as a payee on your online account.) This means your financial information will be kept private since you don’t have to throw your credit or debit card into cyberspace. Perfect for holiday shopping!

In yesterday’s post the Traveling Mamas reviewed an assortment of travel products which are available for you to purchase at LuggagePoint.com – an eBillme merchant.

Kindly, eBillme has offered a Traveling Mamas reader $100 to help him or her kick off the New Year and prepare for exciting New Adventures.

So, how can you win $100 to spend at eBillme? Head over to eBillme and checkout their various merchants then come back and enter the giveaway by posting a comment below telling the Traveling Mamas what travel gear (or any item) you will spend your $100 on to help you prepare for a New Year of New Adventures.

Today’s contest will run through midnight on Tuesday December 9th and the winner will be announced December 10th. The giveaway is open to all readers – no matter where you live.

eBillme is also offering Traveling Mamas readers a $25 rebate if you spend $100 at Luggage Point – so if you’re browsing and find something you have to buy the hubby for Christmas – be sure to download the rebate form. Happy Shopping and Travels!

    I would have to go with tiger direct! I am using windows ME at the present time, I really need to upgrade it and cant afford too. I would buy windows Vista! Thanks for telling me about this site.. I lost my savings because someone stole my info! So I know what you and your husband are going thru~I made the mistake of using a computer at a library, it timed out and i could not log out of my email account. .whoever did it, took my email account and went thru everything I saved in my email account files to find other informaiton.
    I will never do that again.. everything gets deleted now.. . Since I was injured in a car accident, with a head injury it took me 6 years to find out about it.. I knew my money dissapeared but wasnt well enough to try to figure it out. .ebill me is deffintely a great option. THanks again ..

    My New Year of New Adventures is all about learning to be more self-reliant, and having a “100-foot diet” – raise my own food and eat locally, very, very, locally from the garden outside my back door. Electronic gear is tempting, but my true heart of desire is actually on the merchant list for eBillme, and that is a greenhouse. I would use the 100 dollar giveaway towards a real, stand-up, can take a load of snow, flowers in winter, lemon tree in Vermont, greenhouse from Greenhouse Select. Just thinking about it made me happy.
