Credit Cards During Holidays

Hi!

Schaut so aus als wären die US-Amerikaner nicht mehr so spendabel:

Two-Thirds of Americans Plan to Cut Back on Credit Cards During Holidays

Sixty-six percent of Americans plan to use either less credit than a year ago or no credit as they
buy holiday gifts, according to a Cambridge Consumer Credit Index release. In a nationwide poll
of 1,000 adults done by ICR/International Communications in the past week, 30 percent of
Americans plan to use less credit than they did a year ago and 36 percent will not use any credit
card debt at all when buying gifts. In contrast, 31 percent plan to use about the same amount of
credit card debt as last year and only 4 percent expect to use more credit card debt.

The Index also asked consumers who are going to use credit cards for gifts whether or not they
expect to pay these bills off when they arrive in January. Fully 55 percent expect to pay their
credit card bills off in full next month, while 39 percent expect to carry a balance and pay interest
for at least a month after January. Only 6 percent thought they would pay off some, but not all, of
what they spend when the bills come in January.
