11.16.07 | Interested in checking your credit score?
When you finance a TV or car, your credit score is a major factor in determining your interest rate. MyFICO.com realizes this and is currently offering 25% off their services, by using coupon code HOLIDAY25. Use it soon, though, as it expires on November 30. So, if you’re interested in learning more about credit, repairing it, or just want to see how you’re doing, head over to MyFICO.
While we’re talking about coupon codes, be sure to seek them out for almost anything you buy online. Particularly with the upcoming holiday shopping season, where e-tailers will be most interested in luring you to their sites and pulling out your credit card. So, how do you find these sometimes strange combinations of numbers and letters? Google!
Simply do a search for “retailer coupon code”or something similar. You’ll probably get a large list, but look closely at them because sometimes they don’t offer anything additional you could otherwise get from going directly to the retailer’s site. For example, a coupon from Amazon offering free shipping after a $25 purchase - not very impressive since they offer that anyway!
Also, in preparation for November 23 (Black Friday), check out BFads.net to see scans of the pages and pages of discounts store retailers are offering. You could wait until the end of next week, but being in the know can help you plan better for the big day (and also better figure out your sleeping schedule if you want to be on time for the 5am doorbusters!)
