We’ve finished up our Share Your Story campaign, and all we can say is, “Wow.” With nearly 200 submissions of quotes, photos, and videos, we’ve been nothing but humbled and honored by all of you, our customers. When the campaign first launched, we weren’t sure there would even be 50 submissions to perk! But, when the dust settled, we’ll be giving out $1,200 in perks as our way of giving a sincere, emphatic, “Thank you.”

Contest Winners!

In order to determine the winner of the best quote and photo combination, Kyle and I wittled down the 150+ submissions to a list of 10 that we felt best fit the contest’s terms. PerkStreet employees at the Boston headquarters then voted for their choice. (Note: All quotes were separated from names and photos to eliminate any possible biases.) The top video was selected in a similar fashion. So, without further delay, the winners are…

Best Video: Richie

Best Quote & Photo: Jeremiah

When I first signed up for PerkStreet, I was very skeptical, even hostile. However, as soon as a few misconceptions were cleared up, I absolutely fell in love with my bank.

Thanks to the help of the PerkStreet community, in the past 8 months I have been able to pay off a $10,000 car loan, pay off $5,000 in medical debt, and cut my student loan in half.

Since opening my account 8 months ago, I have earned $643 in Perks, most of it at the 2% cash back rate. But the monetary Perks are not the only part of PerkStreet that has helped me.

It is the community that strives to live debt-free and encourages others to do the same that really helps. That is by far the best part of PerkStreet — a personal bank and larger community that cares about your individual life, not just your money. Sign up for a PerkStreet account today. You won’t regret it!

Congratulations to both Jeremiah and Richie! Expect to see $100 added to your perks account no later than August 15^th! If you were one of the initial winners –- one of the first 50 to submit either a quote and photo or video -– you should have already been contacted about earning $10 in perks for those submissions. Expect to see those perks arrive no later than August 15^th.

Thank you again to all who took the time to submit. We wish we could perk everyone, but we hope you know that the time and energy you took to submit truly speaks volumes to us and is appreciated.

So, thanks, PerkStreeters, for making the first-ever Share Your Story campaign such a great success!
