Small gestures can bring much-needed cheer for
Americans feeling slighted by combined birthday/holiday
celebrations
Having a holiday birthday is surely not nice, said many
Americans that have birthdays during the holiday season. In a
national survey1 conducted by Chase Freedom, a third (32%) of those
surveyed with holiday birthdays feel that they are celebrated less
– by those whom you might find on the naughty list.

In fact, one-fifth of Americans admitted to forgetting, ignoring
or deliberately downplaying someone’s birthday because it falls on
or near a holiday, the survey found.
“Chase Freedom wants to chase away those holiday birthday
blues,” said BJ Mahoney, General Manager of Chase Freedom. “We
encourage holiday birthdayers – and their loved ones – to use their
Cash Back rewards to make this birthday one that won’t be
forgotten.”
Here’s what the Chase Freedom survey uncovered:
- Holidays and birthdays collide.
43% of those surveyed had a birthday on or near a major U.S.
holiday, with 64% knowing a family member/friend with a holiday
birthday.
- Counting the days to Christmas: Bah
humbug. 84% said that October through December is a tough time
of the year to have a birthday, with 61% ranking Christmas as the
worst holiday birthday.
- Little things make a difference.
56% of respondents said that even a small gesture or an inexpensive
gift helps to beat the holiday birthday blues.
- Cash Back rewards can bring all a
good night. 75% said that Cash Back rewards is a great solution
for buying holiday birthday presents for family, friends —and even
for themselves.
