Four Reasons to Use Your Debit Card this Holiday Season 

The Winter Holidays are coming, and they're about to get lively! Over 90% of US adults are planning to celebrate holidays like Christmas, Hanukkah, or Kwanza,* and nearly half of shoppers have already started preparing for festivities with loved ones. According to the National Retail Federation, spending on travel, food, decorations, and gifts is expected to reach record highs at around $902.00 on average.* Putting those expenses on a credit card means accruing interest if you don’t pay it off right away, and if you're planning on snagging online deals, there is no way to use cash. Here are a few reasons why using your debit card can help make your holiday shopping season merry and bright:

  • Convenience. Your debit card is all you need in your wallet. Carrying bills and coins can be messy and heavy. Why go to the trouble when your debit card functions like cash?
  • Keep Spending in Check. Sometimes we can lose track of spending on a credit card, making the bill higher than we are willing to pay in a given month. If you choose your Cedar Point debit card instead, you can use digital banking to check your funds before you go shopping. You will know your limit and can make smarter choices on the go.
  • Avoid Paying Interest. With a credit card, you can carry a balance. If you are only paying the minimum balance each month, the interest can begin to add up. With a debit card, there is no interest because you are paying directly from your account at Cedar Point rather than borrowing with a credit card.
  • Track your purchases using CardValet. CardValet allows you to set and receive alerts, control when and how your debit cards are used, and monitor transactions – all from your mobile device. Using cash for purchases won’t give you the same alerts! Instant alerts let you know the moment your card is used. You can download CardValet from the AppStore or Google Play.
