I reviewed The Skinny On Credit Cards: How to Master the Credit Card Game on Thursday. At the end of the review, I gave my thoughts and recommendations:

I think this is a great book for someone who is new to personal finance. If you consider yourself to be a little more advanced, you probably won’t want to buy this book for yourself. However, if you know someone who could benefit from learning about how credit cards work and how to avoid credit card debt, this is the perfect book.

So, with that being said, I am sure we ALL know someone who could benefit from this book. Which is why I decided to host a giveaway for it.

There are four ways to enter for a chance to win, read the instructions below and good luck!

1) Comment on a post

• Instructions: Each comment you place on this post from now until 7/3/09 will be counted.
• Rules: Only one comment per person.
• Method: I get e-mails for each comment I receive on my blog. I will move all of these e-mails into an outlook folder to keep a record of who has commented.

2) Tweet this link

• Instructions: Let others know about the giveaway by tweeting the link! Something like “[FREE] The Skinny On Credit Cards Book at MyLifeROI http://bit.ly/104CCM ″ or “MyLifeROI is giving away a FREE copy of The Skinny On Credit Cards at http://bit.ly/104CCM !”
• Rules: I’ll only count one tweet per person.
• Method: I will search twitter for that exact bit.ly URL. If you use another URL I have no way of checking to see if it has been sent! I will create a file in outlook with your information and tweet and move it into the aforementioned folder.

3) Link from your blog

• Instructions: Let others know about the giveaway by linking to this page from your blog.
• Rules: I will only count one link per person! If you have linked me, just email me and let me know. Usually trackbacks work, but I want to be positive I give you credit!
• Method: I will move the email into the aforementioned folder.

4) Follow the RSS only instructions

• I will send instructions to just my RSS subscribers sometime this upcoming week! Check your feed reader. The title will be something obvious like “RSS ENTRY NOTIFICIATION: The Skinny On Credit Cards.” Each RSS Subscriber can enter once.

When all is said and done, you can potentially get 4 entries, greatly improving your chances of winning!

General Rules/Methodology

• Rules: On top of all of the aforementioned rules, your state must allow you to win free contests.
• Deadline: The contest will run until June 20th, 2009 until July 3rd, 2009. At 11:59pm I will close off any further entries.
• Methodology: Since steps 1,3, and 4 will all be in email form, they will be easily moved into a folder in Outlook. The only thing I need to manually do is step 2. I will manually create a file for each tweet and place it in an outlook folder. I will then generate a random number using Random.org. The oldest email/file will be #1, counting upwards until I reach the newest email/file in the folder.
• Notification: I will publish a post on July 4th or 5th announcing the winner. I will also attempt to notify the winner via email or Twitter, so make sure your email is valid when you post a comment!

GOOD LUCK!

This is a great book and I wish you all luck in winning it!
