What's Inside

Our Holiday Bites series for 2024 spotlights proprietary survey data and analysis for the end-of-year holiday season.

This series covers US consumer expectations for holiday spending, the shape and scale of demand, and trends in shopper behavior during the holidays.

In this graphic, we spotlight US consumers’ payment plans and preferences this holiday season, including their expectations to use credit.

Methodology: The data in this graphic are informed by an online survey of 2,001 US consumers aged 18+, conducted by Coresight Research in October 2024. At a total level, the results have a margin of error of +/- 2%, at a 95% confidence level.
