The Holidays Are Rapidly Approaching: Do You Know Where Your Credit Cards Are?
Summary:
With less than 82 shopping days until Christmas, many people are still dealing with last year’s holiday debt and might not feel prepared to dive into another spending spree. You probably promised yourself that this year, you'd start shopping early to avoid last-minute credit card reliance. Now is the perfect time to plan your holiday shopping to avoid starting the new year with overwhelming debt.Planning Ahead:
By incorporating holiday shopping into your budget over the next two and a half months, you can avoid the post-holiday credit card debt many Americans face. If your budget is tight, consider choosing your credit cards wisely to make the most out of your purchases.Choosing the Right Credit Card:
1. Introductory 0% APR: Look for credit cards offering a 0% introductory rate on new purchases for six months. This gives you a "six-months-same-as-cash" option to pay for your holiday expenses without interest, allowing for more manageable payments.2. Cash Back Rewards: If you have a card with a high cash back percentage, check if it applies during your holiday shopping. For instance, a card that gives 5% cash back on specific retailers offers substantial returns on a $1,000 spend. Pay off the balance within the grace period to maximize your cash back benefits. Who knows, that extra cash might turn into an additional gift or a treat for yourself!
3. 0% Balance Transfer Options: If you frequently shop at multiple retailers, consider a card with 0% interest on balance transfers. Once your shopping is complete, transfer the balances and pay no interest for six months to a year, depending on the promotion.
Final Thoughts:
If planning and restraint fail, you could end up charging your cards like last year. However, make a resolution to explore better purchasing strategies next year. By starting early and strategically using credit cards, you can enjoy the holiday season without financial worry.You can find the original non-AI version of this article here: The Holidays Are Rapidly Approaching Do You Know Where Your Credit Cards Are .
