One of the benefits of the US Unlocked virtual payment card when you’re living outside of the U.S is taking advantage of U.S sales. Between Black Friday, Labor Day, July 4th, Valentine’s Day, and the Christmas Season, holiday sales can mean pretty significant savings on a range of items. For those in the market for a big ticket item like a laptop or those favorite pair of sneakers, waiting for the sales to come about can be a savvy move. You want to be prepared for when the time comes so making sure you have a US Unlocked account with money loaded is very important because it can sometime take time for approvals.
