I will #FinishMyList for my Christmas Shopping early this year #Cbias

December 10, 2012 By Melanie Roberts 10 Comments

I can #FinishMyList with MasterCard in the MarketPlace

Every year I’m running around looking for one or the other gift; never really knowing what I want for that particular person until it jumps at me. It’s driving me crazy, takes up a lot of my time and I’m countless of hours in the mall, the stores and anywhere else I think I may just find that one special item that I just have to have as a gift.

#FinishMyList in a few simple steps (1)

Are you like that, too? This year, I made a promise to myself; I wanted to be done with ALL my shopping by December 15th and enjoy the rest of my Holiday Season with baking cookies, reading stories and lots of family time. Is that too much to ask?

I’m proud to announce that I just, literally 5 minutes ago #FinisheMyList and I made my deadline way in advance and the best part, I did not even step foot outside my office. Yup, I’m sitting her sipping hot cocoa, some cookies and my cozy comfy slippers that match my PJ’s.

I bet you are dying to find out how I was able to wrap up my list; You see, I have a MasterCard in my wallet and recently discovered by using my MasterCard on the MasterCard MarketPlace I would be able to find super cool deals, local deals as well as online deals for anything and everything you want for that special someone or for a night out on the town. That’s my secret, I grabbed my MasterCard and off to the Market Place I went.

With Mastercard Marketplace I can #FinishMyList

The deals on the MasterCard MarketPlace change on a day by day basis, so I looked every day to see what was new and what was ready to expire and today I finally found something for my Teen. He has been asking me for candy for Christmas, total strange request from a 17 year old, I know.

I found a deal for $50 to the GourmetGiftBaskets.com store and only paid $25 thanks to my MasterCard. I was able to snag an entire Candy Gift basket with fun and unusual candies from back in the day as well, for my Teen. I bet he will love it a lot more than me running to the Dollar store and trying to find “cheap” yet fun candy that my Teen would enjoy.

#FinishMyList in a few simple steps (4)

I’m super excited, the gift voucher was purchased through MasterCard MarketPlace and instantly available for me to use at the GourmetGiftBasket.com store and they will deliver the package on the day I’ve chosen with the items that I want for my Teen; and all for $25… I’m loving this!

MasterCard MarketPlace truly has something for everyone; do you need a gift for your Dad? Maybe something to keep his car in working order, or how about a nice wine basket for your boss? MasterCard Marketplace has you covered; you will save a bundle by using your MasterCard this Holiday Season and you can get it all done in a blink of the eye; then it’s time to relax with a nice cup of cocoa and start counting your blessings.

#FinishMyList in a few simple steps (3)

For more information, be sure to check out MasterCard MarketPlace online or you can also follow on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram to stay up to date with any super cool and new deals this Holiday Season (and of course, all year long).

P.s. Remember to snag the deals when you see them. I found a Starbucks offer and sooo wanted it, but decided to wait till I get home from the office and totally forgot till the next day.. Well… it was gone Sad smile. I’m so loving this MasterCard MarketPlace and totally love the money and time I was able to save this Holiday Season. I’m off to spend some more time with my family now; what are you gonna do now?

Twitter Party Alert!!
