We've been using this blog as a general source for announcements and answering questions, but it's not really an easy place to go to find specific information. So, we're happy to bring your Price Protectr's official FAQ page. If you have any questions that aren't answered there, feel free to drop us a line!

We had a great news report about Price Protectr and consumer price policies, featuring Artem Aleksenko, a Price Protectr user who saved a bunch of money on his new HDTV purchase. You can watch the video here.

We're also in search of a Price Protectr user in eastern Massachusetts to do a similar interview. If you've used Price Protectr and saved some cash, send an email our way and you could be on TV too!

We just launched our new website and see that cute little owl? Well, he/she's our new mascot. The only problem is it doesn't have a name. We've been super busy adding new retailers and talking with all the great bloggers out there so we haven't really had a chance to sit down and come up with a good name... and that's where you come in.

Contest Details
We're asking you for help coming up with a great name for our mascot, and maybe even a little bit about the owl's history. It's hometown, favorite sports team, or why it loves watching prices so darn much.

The Prize
It wouldn't be a contest without a prize. It might be cash, a lot of cash. It might be cool merchandise. We haven't really figured it all out yet, but we wanted to give you the heads up.

How to Enter: Price Protectr Members
Once the contest opens, you'll be able to enter from your account page. If you've already signed up, you're all set -- we'll send you an email once the contest begins!

How to Enter: Non-Members
Visit our contest details page and enter your email address so we can let you know when the contest starts!
