Unwrapping Simple, Easy Value After The Holidays

The winter holidays are one of the most magical times of the year, but holiday shopping can take a serious toll on gift-givers’ financial health.

A report by the Federal Reserve found total credit card debt in the United States has reached its highest point ever, surpassing $1 trillion in 2017─with a large portion of that accumulated in the last three months of the year, primarily due to holiday shopping.

While there is nothing wrong with using your plastic to add a little more sparkle to the holidays, it’s important to avoid building up a balance you can’t easily pay off.

Remember, a high interest rate can add up quickly and cause your holiday debt to stick around all year long. If you’re looking to get on top of credit card payments as soon as the festive season is finished, one good option is to transfer your balance to a new credit card.

The HUECU Platinum Rewards card now offers 0.00% intro APR on balance transfers for the first 12¹ months, and a low variable rate after that.

A post-holiday balance transfer to the HUECU Platinum Rewards card might be just the thing to ring in the New Year.
