Cash Central receives “thank yous” of how our services helped our members every day. We love reading these personal stories and want to reward our members for sharing them. So here’s what we’d like to do:
The first 25 Members who submit their personal story* on Facebook (using two or more sentences) of why they use Cash Central or how Cash Central’s services have helped will receive 25% off their next loan fees. Even better, submit a useable photo* of yourself and get 35% off your next loan fees!

The “You Wouldn’t Believe Me If I Told You” Facebook Contest wrapped up a few weeks ago but the stories are still going strong. Winner Mike B. from Sand Diego walked away with a $255 fee-free loan for submitting his story and receiving the most “Like” votes:
…I recently got promoted from work, but due to an error n our Payroll Dept. My raise was never sent thru. That would not be all however. Also Due to O.P.I. I have not received my unemployment benefit checks on time either. I was suppose to recieve there new Debit Card n the Mail. It never arrived so due to a proccessing error on both the EDD & Bank of “******” part I have been takin payday loans out just 2 put food on the table & pay my rent…
We also had a few very honorable mentions, including this one:
Cash Central saved me when aliens kidnapped me and took me on board their ship. They wanted to visit earth and said they would shrink me to 2 inches tall if I didn’t tell them how to get money so they could visit all the earthlings. Well since I didn’t have any money to give them and I sure as heck didn’t want to be 2 inches tall, I thought of Cash Central, thank goodness. And as luck would have it they had a code posted on facebook so I could get a discount. Now I am free. But if you see a group of weird 2 inch tall blue people watch out, and remember Cash Central!!
Whether we’re inadvertently saving our valued clients from space aliens or helping make ends meet during unexpected financial gaps, Cash Central appreciates all our customers and remains committed to secure, reliable and state-licensed loans to deliver quick help for life’s emergencies.
Thanks to all who participated in our Facebook contest (and every story submission was winner thanks to a 25% loan fee discount). For those who didn’t, make sure to “Like” us on Facebook for future promotions, community and all around helpful advice/interaction.
What’s the most “You wouldn’t believe me if I told you” thing you’ve ever needed a loan for?
We’ve all been there—something comes out of the blue and hits your wallet in a way you never would have seen coming. Sure, there’s always the car problem or unexpected bill, but how about something like this:
Bees have somehow gotten down into the wall of my home and the exterminator (beekeeper) is going to have to take the bricks loose under the eaves and remove the bees and the honey and then seal up the brick again.
If you’ve had an experience like this, we want to hear and see pictures about it on our Cash Central Facebook Page! In fact, we’re offering 20% loan or CSO/interest fees just for a “family-friendly” picture and/or detailed text submission of your own “You Wouldn’t Believe Me If I Told You” story. And if that wasn’t motivation enough, one Winner will even receive a 100% discount on their next loan fees.
So share you experience with us and save. “Like” Cash Central on Facebook and let’s hear it!

We’ve been touting our Cash Central Facebook page for a while now… and for good reason. Great tips, exclusive discounts and now… a pretty incredible promotion exclusive to customers who “Like” us on Facebook only. Details will begin materializing on our Facebook wall (and here at the CashWise Blog) in the coming days…
Facebook is not only a great way to keep in touch with friends and family, it’s also a great way to stay updated on Cash Central news, tips and discounts/promotions. It’s also a great way to communicate with us ( in addition to our Live Chat and Customer Service Lines) personally.
Still, like any online interaction you should always ensure your privacy is tightly controlled. Facebook has developed a host of tools allowing you to do this and keep your information and personal images “close to the vest” so people you don’t know can’t get access to them.
US News & World Report recently posted a great 7-point checklist on how to keep your photos and information safe from prying eyes of people you haven’t friended and even some of those you have. As Cash Central’s highest priority is your security and privacy, we’d recommend reading and following through on the suggestions, which include:
- Checking Your Facebook Privacy Settings
- Accepting Friend Requests From Only People You Know “in real life”
- Carefully Choosing The Photos You Post Online

Gas prices.
Lately, they’re like their own dirty word. Just when you think they’ve calmed down, they come roaring back with a vengeance. According to AAA, ten states (Washington, Rhode Island, New York, California, Alaska, Maine, Massachusetts, Hawaii, Illinois and Connecticut) have crossed the $4.00 mark with a large majority of others teetering on the brink of this “pain threshold”.
Aside from biking, carpooling and making a few technical adjustments like tire pressure, some of us just can’t get out from under having to drive. Sudden (or even steady) rises in gas prices can affect our budgets and make it more difficult to weather the storms of surprise expenses and unforeseen bills. We know how you feel– and a Cash Central loan can help.
If you’re caught short in the midst of this gas hike, visit and/or “Like” us on Facebook to receive a discount code good for 20% off your next loan or CSO fees if used before August 14!
Here at Cash Central, we love summer. And nothing says summer like a day at the pool or a visit to the beach—which got us thinking about the payday loan services we provide.
You may not need us all the time (we hope you don’t, even!), but like a lifeguard at the pool or beach, we’re there when you need us—ready to offer our service to help you if you’re struggling in the deep water of short-term financial distress.
So next time you’re at the pool or beach and see that lifeguard in the tower, you might think of Cash Central because yeah… it’s kinda like that.
In addition to BBQs, outdoor fun and more sunshine than you can shake a stick at, summer is also a chance to sit in a cool theater and enjoy a blockbuster spectacle only Hollywood can provide—and with 3D all the rage, we thought why not offer up some, real, in your face 3D savings of 15% off on your next Cash Central* payday loan fees?
To enjoy your 3D savings, all you have to do is “Like” Cash Central on Facebook or follow Cash Central on Twitter. There, you can retrieve the code and then request your loan. Since we like to keep things simple, click here to visit our Facebook page and claim your discount or add us to your Twitter follow list. You’ll be sure to get first notice of discounts, tips and anything else Cash Central has to offer.
If you’d like to experience some 3D payday loan fee savings this summer, hurry over to Facebook or Twitter– this discount expires Friday, July 22!
*In Texas? You can still use the same codes to receive a discount on your CSO loan and interest fees!
Just a reminder that with the New Years banking holiday falling on the weekend banks will be closed Friday. As a result, Cash Central customer service will be unavailable Friday, December 31 2010 and Saturday, January 1, 2011. To receive funding before the weekend, loans must be approved before 5:45 PM (MST), Wednesday, December 29. Loans approved after 5:45 PM (MST) and through 5:45 PM (MST) January 2, 2011 will fund Monday, January 3.
Everyone has their circle of friends whether it’s co-workers, neighbors, family or all of the above. So what to do when the holidays roll around and everyone starts handing out gifts? Easy. Don’t buy any– go the thrifty route and give time, skill or service. And with only 10 days until Christmas, you can save time, stress and travel in your search– instead giving the gift of, well, you.
Moneywatch.com has a humorous (but practical) list on how to get started. Some of the ideas may not be for everyone, but they may help spark some money-saving ideas, including:
Swap services. If you have smart but broke friends, this tip is for you. Have a friend who provides a valuable service such as personal training, financial planning, or computer consulting give you several one hour vouchers you can give to your friends. In return, you give your friend the same number of one hour vouchers for whatever service you provide.
