Valentine’s Day Spending Jumps This Year Thanks To Credit Cards

Americans will spend big on Valentine's Day. The National Retail Federation expects consumers to shell out nearly 26-billion dollars on the holiday this year. That works out to an average of about 193-dollars per person for flowers, cards, candy and other gifts for friends, loved ones and even coworkers. It's also about 20-bucks more than last year's average. A separate report by WalletHub finds almost one-in-five Americans think it's okay to use a credit card to pay for that special Valentine's Day gift. And Lending Tree discovered that 27-percent will use a credit card for most or all of the sweet holiday.
