Keeping my bills, spending, and rewards accounts up to date feels like an uphill battle sometimes. Especially when holiday shopping rolls around every year. Yikes! Now that the new year is here, it is time to get on track with financial planning.
One key to saving money is to always pay bills on time. Who wants to rack up late fees and finance charges? So I’ve turned to a free online site that keeps me organized and on top of the bills. Manilla.com saves me both money and time (and my credit rating).
Manilla offers an automated, organized view of all account information, text and/or email reminders to pay bills, and unlimited storage of account documents.
For skeptics, now might be the right opportunity to give it a try. That’s because Manilla wants to kick off 2013 with the “Get It Together Challenge” and entry to win the “I Got It Together” $2,500 Grand Prize and other prizes.
How to enter:
- Sign up for FREE, link 3 accounts. That means automatic entry.
- Click here to get started.

To sign up for a free Manilla account:
