FNB just killed the biggest credit card myth

Women spend less than men in nearly every category of credit card expenditure, including online shopping, says First National Bank.

“Retail shopping used to be perceived as the domain of women, but men have definitely taken the lead in terms of online shopping,” said Labuschagne.

Graphic cards aren't cheap.

Hehe, just bought a new couch and work desk today on my credit card. There is a positive balance in there though eBucks ftw.

On average, women spend R384 every time they fill up their tanks, compared to men who spend R428 on each refill, the bank said.

Real men drink some fuel while they're at it.

“Retail shopping used to be perceived as the domain of women, but men have definitely taken the lead in terms of online shopping,” said Labuschagne. “This makes sense as online shopping is easy, safe and can be done from the comfort of your home.”

While credit card arrears levels are low, men are twice as likely to skip a payment when compared to women, the bank said.

So there you have it .... men are sensible and woman are sensitive ....

I'm guessing this is exactly why the stats are so obviously wrong.

But can she re-sell her make-up after using it a few months at over 50% of its original value?

Was about to say just that. The reason why men's cards are used more is because the women are using them!
I don't know of a single married woman who actually utilizes her own credit card.

Derp. It obviously depends on how much money someone gets from their salary.

This "statistic" is meaningless.

It could mean women are more fuel-efficient drivers. (What is implied)

It could mean that women on average have cars with smaller tanks.

It could mean that men tend to drive cars with big tanks.

But what is most likely, is that women tend to fill up earlier than men when the tank gets low, as they do not want to be stranded with no petrol. They therefore spend less per trip to the garage but would go more often.
