Maps provided a loan for our new car and a trip to Craters of the Moon National Monument located in Southern Idaho! The car matched the scenery very nicely!!

My car took me to a conference in downtown Portland. I normally hate Portland parking garages because the spaces are so small and hard to maneuver. I took a chance and backed into my space — something I never do.

Want to win $100? Show us where your vehicle takes you — whether it is on a road trip, just around the town, or somewhere totally interesting — for a chance to win.

We’ll pick our favorites and open it up to voting this summer. Stay safe, though. We don’t want anyone driving up Smith Rock or doing anything else dangerous or illegal.

Share a little about where you are, why you went there, and anything else you want us to know. And, hey, if Maps helped you finance that vehicle purchase, feel free to share that, too. It isn’t a requirement for entry or for winning, but we’d love to know.

Dixon’s video covers one day in her life of shuttling kids, handling household needs, paying bills through the credit union’s online bill pay system, and finally taking a moment to relax. Dixon, who has been a member of Maps Credit Union with her husband for more than 30 years, is a regular user of the free bill pay service.

Dixon was thrilled to win the grand prize, which was based on votes received here at the More Than Just Savings website. Two of the actors in the video, Dixon’s daughter and her boyfriend, became engaged since the video shoot, and Dixon says she told them, “if we win, the money will go toward your wedding.”

Dixon’s video received a total of 395 votes.

The runner-up, “Maps Gets Me to Where I Want to Go,” received 299 votes. Eric Ivanitsky, a voice actor, produced the video and took home a prize of $100.
