It’s Shopping Season  you know. Have you ever wondered why Black Friday is called Black? I never really even considered it before but when I was working in retail at a small boutique that sometimes barely made ends meet, I finally understood what Black Friday means. When you’re in the red it means you’re not making enough to cover all expenses. Black Friday is the day that almost every retailer gets out of the red and into the black on the accounting books. While you’re out shopping make sure your earning points. MasterCard has a Holiday Rewards program Here’s To Mom! Because Who Does all the shopping? Mom!

Signing up is so easy!

This Holiday Season when you spend $200 on your master card you are eligible to receive a $20 MasterCard Gift Card. First you need to enroll your MasterCard (credit or debit) and e-mail address online then shop online with that card between November 15th and December 31st, 2011. Once you spend $200 online you will be able to redeem your gift card reward.

What’s the Benefit?

Getting out during the Holiday Season can be quite hectic. Parking can drive a person insane in seconds of arriving at your destination, at one of our local malls it’s hectic 2 miles away from the mall this time of year. So I LOVE doing my Holiday Shopping on-line. This way you also get rewarded for it and what I love is that it counts on a debit MasterCard too. We just switched banks, we’re now at a bank that gives us points for our purchase, now we can get even more points by combining this promotion with our bank’s promotion.  Beyond that, you’ll also enjoy the ease of budget management through simplified online tracking of your purchases

So Here’s To Mom!

I am being compensated to work with MasterCard This Holiday Season.
