Let’s play a game of Cash (trick) or Card (treat)!

Ever wondered what the benefits are of using card vs. cash? My thoughts are…

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| ## Cash | ## Card |
| With cash, you can only spend the amount that you have on you… bit tricky in emergencies! | Most shops accept cards now, so for speed and ease its simpler to swipe or tap for a quick purchase |
| Cash can easily be accidentally lost when you go trick or treating (especially when it’s dark and spooky outside) . | If your nimbl card got lost or stolen, you can get it blocked immediately, so all of your hard earned pocket money stays safe! |
| Juggling cash when you are out and about can be tricky, especially when you’re trying to sort out change. | With card, you don’t have to count your cash in front of everyone, especially when buying your essential Halloween items. |
| Ever heard your change jangling about in your pocket? Very annoying. | On your smartphone you can check your card balance quickly and easily, without having to find a cashpoint machine or counting it out on the street. |
| With cash, your costume choices will be limited because most of the best costumes and deals are found online (but don’t forget to use trustworthy websites). | If trick or treating, make sure you have a spending limit on your costume, because between all the accessories, make-up and face paint it is really easy to overspend |

Overall, I think card wins! Lets keep Halloween spooky and not your money account!
