Home for the Holidays: Four Reasons to Use Your Debit Card this Holiday Season
Whether you're traveling to family or enjoying festivities at home, the winter holidays are a special time of year! Nearly all U.S adults are planning to celebrate holidays like Christmas, Hanukkah, or Kwanza in some fashion, and 42% of shoppers are getting an early start.** From food to gifts, holiday shopping is expected to be near record highs, with consumers spending around $890.49 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:
Why get a Debit Card with Cedar Point Federal Credit Union®?
- Convenience – Why carry money when your debit card functions like cash?
- Control Spending – It’s easy to quickly rack up (and lose track of) credit card purchases. With a Visa® Debit card, you can use digital banking to check your available funds before you go shopping.
- Avoid Paying Interest – Unlike credit cards, when you make a purchase using your Visa® Debit card, you draw funds directly from your Cedar Point account.
- Track Your Purchases – Download CardValet® from the AppStore or Google Play to set and receive card alerts, control card usage and monitor transactions—all from your mobile device.
If you are traveling or making purchases outside of your home state, please remember to ask a representative to set travel exemptions for you ahead of time.
