It’s that holiday time of year and MasterCard would like to help you Master the Season with some helpful tips. Do you struggle to stay on budget? How about trying to find the perfect gift? Traveling and don’t want to overspend? MasterCard can help you!
- Stick to Your Budget: Write down what it is the you can afford this holiday season as far as gifts and travel expenses. Either designate a select credit or debit card to help you keep track of purchases or my favorite idea: buy a prepaid card. This way you can set your spending limits ad not be tempted to go overboard.
- Get the Kids Involved: You don’t have to take on all the buying yourself. Older children can help with shopping. Empower them by letting them use a MYPLASH Reloadable Prepaid card. It works everywhere Debit MasterCard is accepted. They will learn the valuable skill of shopping within a budget, plus save you some much needed time.
- Buy a Gift They Won’t Want to Return: Tweens or teens on your list? Not sure what to get them? A SpendSmart MasterCard Prepaid lets them buy what they want within limits and you can also get instant text alerts when purchases happen.
- The Gift of Experience: the Priceless Cities program, which gives cardholders extraordinary experiences, exclusive offers and privileged access to culinary, shopping, sports, travel and entertainment events. This is the real deal: dine with a Top Chef, box seats for the SuperBowl, this is where it happens.
- Traveling Over The Holidays: Fuel Rewards Network is a free loyalty program that helps save money at the gas pump. It’s free to join! Be sure to check your membership as many cards over valuable savings for traveling including car rentals, car services and more. World and World Elite MasterCard cardholders get these and many more perks!

I would love to win this gift card.
