Help Agent LendingTree Crack the Code and You Could Win $5,000

CHARLOTTE, N.C., April 18, 2006 – Calling all detectives and sweepstakes enthusiasts! Today, LendingTree announced The $25,000 Daily Instant Win Game., Participants that help Agent Len Dingtree crack the code and find the right home equity loan for the Applebaums, a typical American family can win a cash prize valued at $5,000.

The case begins when the Applebaums go in search of a loan but quickly discover that things are not as they appear. Soon the Applebaum’s anticipation turns to frustration as they deal with lenders who have hidden closing costs, use bait and switch advertising, and never return their calls. So instead, they call Agent Len Dingtree. Agent Dingtree, with the aid of game contestants, comes to their rescue and helps the Applebaums uncover four reputable lenders who compete to offer them the best loan with the best rate.

From April 18 until June 11, 2006, participants will have the chance to win one of five $5,000 prizes by helping Agent Dingtree find the right lender for the Applebaums. In addition, one lucky player each day will win a $50 gift card to The Home Depot®.

The Agent Len Dingtree marketing campaign was developed for LendingTree by Pittsburgh-based Communifax.
