This holiday season a new survey from MasterCard reveals that 95 percent of people say it�s better to give than to receive.  And they feel that gifts should be useful and creative.  But giving is a tricky task when you want to buy the right gift for everyone on your list.  One tip: give the gift of choice with a bank-issued gift card.  Here�s MasterCard�s Rob Sheets:

�MasterCard prepaid gift cards are a perfect way to ensure friends and family always get the ideal gift.  Simply prepay the card for the amount you want to give and customize it with unique designs and personal messages.  Then the recipient can use the card to buy the present they really want.�

Bank-issued prepaid gift cards are more flexible than store gift cards. They can be used at millions of merchants, and for internet, telephone and catalog orders.  A recent survey says people prefer bank-issued gift cards almost three to one over cards from individual retailers.  Visit mastercard-dot-com to learn more.
