TThe holiday shopping season has arrived and Black friday knock at the door. This is usually the time of year when we spend a lot of money in a short period of time. Since you are going shopping, now is a great time to maximize with a rewards program.

There are several types of rewards programs that range from gift cards to travel to cash back. One thing remains true with any type of reward, “Cash is King”. But, the majority of rewards programs are related to credit cards. This is definitely a missed opportunity for shoppers who spend a lot of money this holiday season using cash or other unrewarded product.

Reasons for not having a credit card

There are several reasons shoppers may not use a credit card for holiday shopping, but not having a credit card is simply top of the list. Choosing not to have a credit card and creditworthiness are two of the most important factors. So how can holiday shoppers cash in on rewards without having a credit card?

Earning Rewards Without a Credit Card If credit cards aren’t your thing, but earning rewards is, you’re in luck! Products, such as the Visa ONE VIP Debit Card, offer a lucrative cash back program without the hassle and fees of a credit card.
