Many of you may have heard of the infamous “Stanley Cup/Tumbler” trending all over TikTok. Consumers that have fallen prey to this trend seem to be GenZ, many posting cup reviews all over the app. Although the tumblers do have pretty rave reviews and seem to do the job, the cost of the cup is pretty hefty. But with BNPL options, it’s easy for GenZ to spend their money on microtrends.
What GenZ doesn’t understand is that the cup they thought was $50, is actually near $60 with interest fees. APR awareness is important, and it is definitely more important than a $50 cup you could probably buy off Amazon for $20 cheaper.
High APR and interest rates are the culprits of many microtrends from BNPL purchases. It’s important that GenZ understand the repercussions of credit card debt and spending.
TomoCredit, a credit card that has 0 interest/APR and virtually allows you to never carry a balance, wants GenZ and others to be aware of BNPL while shopping. Fees rack up quickly, and the last thing you want is to carry a balance you can’t pay.
