The Geezeo Team would like to recognize Ben Jabbawy, the Brand Executive of the Month!

He also recruited two new members for our Product Ambassador Team! Ben will be receiving a $30.00 American Express Gift Card in the mail.

Thanks Ben! Keep up your hard work!

Credit Cards by Hannah Waters from the Boston University Geezeo Facebook group!

Being home at my house for the summer is interesting, I get at least 3 offers from credit cards every single day. When Im at school, I obviously dont see these…my mum just automatically rips them up!

But with all these credit card offers coming to students on a daily basis, its no wonder that people get into trouble and a huge amount of debt!

Dont fall into this trap. I understand that sometimes big purchases (i.e. spring break, furniture, books, etc.) need to be purchased, and so having a credit card for those reasons is really beneficial. But why swamp yourself with 6 or so credit cards!?

Make sure you can pay off whatever money you are putting on the card within the month. Otherwise you’re just digging yourself into a never-ending hole.

Stick to one credit card…its that simple! You dont need to be paying several bills every month, that will never work out. Just dont fall into the trap of signing up for a new card everytime you get an offer, just throw the offer away instead.

Geezeo is thrilled to announce two more Brand Executives who will join the team this week!
