Priceless Way to Get Cheap Advertising Copy at Priceless.com!

Just saw a commercial advertising the Mastercard "Priceless" commercials. Apparently they are running out of ideas because this commercial had lines like ________:$9 (Voice says, "Blank: Nine Dollars")...

They want you to go to their website, Priceless.com and "Fill in the blanks" to win cash prizes.

Prizes are as follows:


Prizes: (30) Semifinalist Prizes: $100 MasterCard Gift Card (Approximate Retail Value "ARV"=$100). (4) Finalist Prizes: $500 MasterCard Gift Card (ARV=$500). (1) Grand Prize: a) $1,000 MasterCard Gift Card & b) Spot completed by winner will air live based on a schedule designated solely by Sponsor (ARV=$1,000). MasterCard Gift Card restrictions may apply. Total ARV of all prizes=$6,000. Limit (1) prize per person, family, or household.



prying1 sez: Looks to me to be a real cheap way for Mastercard to get copy for future ads. But I'm just a cynic...

I'm really just jealous and wish my brain was filled with originality and personal creation like their rules specify. Oh well! For those that want to enter my inabilities equals less competition.

Good luck to all who decide to enter...

Update: - Just found out this promo contest was first aired on the Academy Awards Broadcast. - Whose bright idea was that? Now there is a joker in the advertising world that should be replaced...
