Showing this weekend at a movie theater near you: credit card advice

Updated

In the midst of all your shopping on Black Friday and in the aftermath, are you planning on taking in a movie? Before you watch the latest Twilight movie, or Ninja Assassin or whatever you think will put you in the holiday spirit, the government has some advice for you on how to use your credit card.

The Federal Reserve announced Wednesday that it's sponsoring a 45-second ad that will appear before movie previews at 12 theaters in 12 cities from November 27 through December 3. The ad is a public service announcement, reminding people to use their credit cards wisely and to offer some advice on how to handle them.

If you don't go to the movies during that time or aren't in one of the theaters, and you'd like to see what you're missing, the ad can be viewed by clicking here.
