I am a member of the Collective Bias Social Fabric community. I have been compensated to share my experience with you by Collective Bias and their client, Mastercard.
I’ve had a MasterCard debit card for years. So many in fact that I’m not sure when I got the first one. I use it in place of cash everywhere I shop including online, but one feature I didn’t know about is that you can pay your bills with it! Turns out it’s really easy to do and you can do it by phone.
To pay by MasterCard, have your card ready, visit your provider’s website. Visit the bill payment section, usually “Pay Your Bill,” or something similar. Put in your billing information, card number, expiration date, and the security number (a 3 digit code printed on the back of your card). That’s it! You can do it with your debit, credit, or prepaid card and if your card gives cashback or other bonuses you just earned them! (see how easy it is – check out me paying online here)

How Would You Spend 60K?
What would I do if I won the $60K? I would pay off my debt and then take my family on a Disney Cruise and make some memories of a lifetime. Our kids are both adults now, but they love Disney as much as we do! They’d also bring along their significant others – what a way to spend time as a family! After that I’d create a craftroom in my home for my hobby which is crocheting hats and gloves for the homeless and blankets for children in the hospital. I’d use the room to bring in others who want to learn to crochet to join me in donating more items. The third thing I’d do is give to charity. First I’d purchase a huge stockpile of yarn and then lend the rest through Kiva. They’re a fabulous micro-lending site where the money could be reused over and over to fund entrepreneurs around the world for decades.
So what would you do with 60K? Would you go back to school, add on a room, take a vacation, invest it? I’m curious!

If I won $60,000 dollars I would move out. Get a divorce and never look back. Get counseling and get my life back. It would be heaven!
Wow! I can’t imagine. I would pay off some bills and put some in savings, but I would love for my husband and I to take a nice vacation. We’ve talked about Hawaii, Australia, and Niagara Falls, but don’t plan on any trips soon. This would really allow us to take one.
If I won 60K I would take my family on a much needed vacation! I’d also pay as many bills as possible ad stick money in savings! Wow, that would be amazing 🙂
i’d pay all the bills, get a bunch of dental work done and get a car newer than a decade old.
If I won $60,000 I’d use the money to pay off our house and go on a cruise.
First I’d have to get a MC debit card. Already have a Visa debit card. Won’t get another card just to enter this contest.
School loans, hands down. Sometimes I feel as though my balance never goes down despite my payments.
If I had 60K I would pay off our medical bills and student loan so we were 100$ debt free.
if my debit card was a MC and if i won i would pay off some bills!
I always pay my bills with my MC and I love that they offer an incentive like this! Thinking about what I would do if I won…..pay off bills, buy a car that doesn’t break down every week and go on a cruise with the kids. Maybe a Disney cruise 😉
If I won I would pay off all my bills, oh how exciting this would be. My debit card is a Visa so bummer for me.
I have a Master Card but I do not use it to pay bills. I should think about doing this because I can get rewards that will really benefit me. Wow, I am going to pay my bills with Master Card because right now I could win $60,000 dollars!
I agree! I would pay off debt – school loans first! I’d use the rest for a big down payment on a new house. Anything left would go towards a vacation!
I forgot about my son’s school debt…yes, I’d love to get out from under that 1K payment a month….if only we’d saved for it – who knew 18 years would go so fast.
