With the average American putting $900 on their credit cards last holiday season, and with credit card fees and interest charged to hard-working consumers continuing to sky rocket, it has never been a better time to set up your holiday gifts goal on SmartyPig. Not only will you start earning interest instead of paying it, using those smart saving dollars at our merchant partners will get you cash back of up to 12%! From Macy’s to Amazon to American Airlines to Barnes & Noble, you save that $900 with us, and you will simply get more. Think of it as dollars and common sense.
We hear from customers all the time who have abused credit cards and are digging out from under while they try to turn their financial lives around. Some of them are among those who put last year’s holidays on the card and are making monthly minimum payments. How long will it take them to pay off just that portion of their debt? According to some estimates, as long as six years. SIX YEARS!
So don’t let black Friday cast a dark cloud on your finances. Start your SmartyPig holiday gifts goal today, ditch your high-interest credit cards and get paid to save and spend with SmartyPig – The Most Money For Your Money!
