From Collegiate Presswire's RadioWire (https://www.cpwire.com/radio): Radio Upwards of 275 million travelers will take to the highways and skyways this summer. In place of cash, vacationers increasingly use ATM/debit cards for greater payment convenience, flexibility, and security. Rick Lyons, Senior Vice President of MasterCard�s Debit Programs reminds consumers of typical debit card benefits:
�Debit cards let consumers speed thru check-out lines without having to manage cumbersome checks or cash. Whether an ATM withdrawal or everyday purchase, all debit card transactions are reported directly to your monthly banking statement, facilitating easy budget management. Plus, not only is debit MasterCard accepted by more than 32 million merchants worldwide, it enables cash access at over 820-thousand global Cirrus ATM locations.�
Moreover, many financial institutions offer rewarding incentives for everyday debit card purchases. For example, MasterCard recently launched a Summer Sweepstakes promotion where cardholders could win a weekend getaway by using their debit MasterCard for qualified purchases.
