How to manage your finances during Thanksgiving, Black Friday, and Cyber Monday

As many of you know, the end of November in the United States brings three highly anticipated dates: Thanksgiving, Black Friday, and Cyber Monday. We want you to enjoy your finances responsibly and have fun, so we invite you to read this article. Our goal is to help you take advantage of the deals without overburdening your wallet. Remember, with MyBambu, you can create an account with your home country official ID—no minimum balances required, and we don’t check your immigration status.

The first date is Thanksgiving, a major holiday in the United States, celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November. It’s a time when families and friends gather to give thanks for the blessings received throughout the year, such as health, work, and prosperity. Thanksgiving also marks the start of the Christmas shopping season in the U.S., with events like Black Friday and Cyber Monday taking place in the days that follow.

Black Friday is an annual shopping event held the day after Thanksgiving in the U.S., known for its massive discounts and promotions offered by both brick-and-mortar and online stores. Many people use this opportunity to buy Christmas gifts. The temptation to spend is everywhere, but if you are looking for something specific, it’s a great chance to get it at a discount.

The last date is Cyber Monday, which is perfect for those who prefer shopping from home and avoiding long lines. To make your shopping experience easier, you can use your MyBambu card, available in both physical and digital versions. We recommend making a list of what you really need so you can compare prices in advance. On Cyber Monday, discounts are generally only available online, so be careful—it’s easy to lose track of your spending with just a click.

Now, we’d like to share some tips for this holiday season:

  • Set a clear budget: Before spending, decide how much you can invest in gifts, dinners, and other expenses.
  • Make smart purchases: Ensure the deals you find are truly worthwhile.
  • Avoid unnecessary debt: Don’t get carried away by installment payment offers unless you’re certain you can meet the payments.
  • Use your MyBambu card: Physical stores can get crowded, so it’s safer to keep your money in your account and avoid the risk of losing cash. Plus, on Cyber Monday, you’ll need a card since the deals are generally exclusively online.

With MyBambu, you can manage your money efficiently and safely during this season. We’re your financial ally, helping you organize your finances. Remember, when you open an account with us, you get a Visa® debit card, and every transaction you make is recorded in your app, giving you a clear overview of your spending. This helps you track your budget more effectively. Plus, we now offer a cashback rewards program, spend a certain amount with your card at selected brands and get a percentage of your money back. Come and enjoy all the benefits MyBambu has to offer.

Thank you for being part of our family, and we hope you take full advantage of this holiday season.
