UnBankingUnBelievable

The game show Wheel of Fortune has been on television since 1983. If my math is correct (although it’s usually not) that means Americans have been tuning in to watch contestants spin the wheel for 26 years!

The longevity of this television show tells me that people love to watch people take chances on the wheel (or maybe they are tuning in to check out Vanna’s ever-elegant fashions).

Anyway, we decided that people love a chance to win! So, we picked up a couple of Prize Wheels!

When you come in to get your auto loan (great rates – as low as 5% on new cars and 6% on used), you get to spin the prize wheel! And there is no ‘Bankrupt’ on this wheel…only a chance to WIN!

You could win:

$50 Visa gift cards

$100 Visa gift cards

¼% off loan rate*

½% off loan rate*

1 year of free car washes

Any auto loan gets to spin the wheel, refinances too!

Leslie, Assistant Branch Manager, was the first to spin the wheel. She won a whole year of free car washes! Woo-hoo!! 

The next members to get an auto loan spun the wheel and won .50% off of their loan rate! Wow!

Actually, they got TWO spins! First they landed on $50 VISA gift card. Not a bad prize if you ask me, but they chose to spin again and landed on the .50% rate reduction and decided that would save them money in the long run.

WAIT?! How did they get to spin the wheel twice?

Well, everyone that gets an auto loan gets one chance to spin the wheel. BUT, if you also have Checking with Direct Deposit, a debit card, eStatements, and Online Banking with us, then you get to spin again and choose the better of the two spins.

And if you are really lucky, I just might sing the Wheel of Fortune theme song while you spin the wheel…
