    RYE BROOK, NY - August 24, 2010 - Marsha Tracy, online shopper from Glendale, Calif., has been named the biggest online cash spender by eBillme™, the safest way to shop online and pay with cash using online banking and walk-in locations. As the winner of the Hey Big Spender contest, proving that when given an option to pay securely with cash consumers will spend more, Marsha will receive the $5,000 grand prize towards her $10,150 online order of home appliances from eBillme retailer AJ Madison.

    “We congratulate Marsha for not only being our contest winner but for her decision to shop debt-free,” says Samer Forzley, Vice President of Marketing for eBillme. “We wanted to give online shoppers an opportunity to win cash for spending with cash while helping merchants capture the high order values that eBillme delivers. We know there are a lot of shoppers out there like Marsha who want to shop online without the credit card debt and security risks and we are so pleased to offer a solution for a secure and debt-free checkout experience.”

    Every eBillme purchase between June 15 and July 15 on 12 participating eBillme retail sites qualified for the contest. The winner was chosen based on the shopper with the largest eBillme order.

    “I was so excited to learn that I was the winner of the eBillme Big Spender contest,” says Marsha Tracy. “I chose eBillme because I wanted to pay for my order without using a credit card. The process was quick and convenient but what I liked the most was the security I felt by not having to release any of my financial information online.”

    "AJ Madison proudly applauds Marsha on winning eBillme's unique contest,” says Devoree Miller, General Manager of AJ Madison. “Our goal is to make appliance shopping easy and hassle free, and eBillme helps our customers make this process quick and convenient.”
