CreditQ Social Forum Contest (updated August 14, 2012)
Coinciding with the launch of the CreditQ Social web site, we’d like to encourage all new site members to engage with one another via our site Forum. CreditQ Social is a network for people who like to discuss financial topics, issues, and news.
The site is also a great place to ask questions regarding financial matters, and/or to offer advice to help others seeking advice. The CreditQ Social forum post contest is as simple as asking (and/or answering) a question.
No purchase or payment necessary to enter or win. CreditQ Social must receive 50 or more qualified entries during the contest period for the prize to be awarded. So make sure to share this contest with anyone who’d want to enter!
Official CreditQ Social Forum Post Contest Rules
Contest Description
The Forum section of the CreditQ Social web site serves as an integral component for delivering interesting content on financially-related topics and ideas. There are two ways to be eligible for the CreditQ Social Forum contest : (1) post a financial question to our forum, and/or (2) post a legitimate and appropriate answer to a forum question. Eligible forum post questions must address a specific financial-related topic, and must not be related to a contest forum. Eligible forum answers must address the question specifically, and may not be an answer to your own forum question.
If the contest continues from month-to-month, new eligibility dates will be detailed on this page.You may enter the contest each month, as long as you post an eligible forum question and/or respond to another forum post (within the contest eligibility dates), you'll be entered for that month.
