Black Friday Deals, Holiday Hacks, and Hot Holiday Items

You may not know, but many credit cards companies offer additional benefits such as extended warranties on gadgets and tech.  Here are some examples, but be sure to call your local bank or credit card representative for specifics.

Save your receipt – the card statement showing the purchase and the manufacturer’s warranty, whether buying for yourself or as a gift

Use a card that provides Price Protection that will reimburse you for the difference between what you paid and the better price you found

Use a card that provides Purchase Protection that covers eligible purchases against accidental damage, theft, or loss

Use a card that allows Return Protection of certain items even if the merchant won’t accept it or issue a refund.

General tips for Black Friday shopping include:

Find places that will give you the best price
Doing preliminary research online for all items you plan to buy
Find out if stores offer price matching at the counter
Maximize your shopping by limiting time spent in stores and lines
