WILMINGTON, Del., April 29, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Consumers
around the country are experiencing a "fun deficit," and Hispanics
are no exception. According to a new Chase Freedom Unlimited Card
survey, nearly all Hispanic respondents (96%) say they believe fun
is important in their day, and almost two-thirds (59%) say they
feel limited in their ability to live a fun, happy life.
Only close to half of Hispanic respondents (43%) say they're
having enough fun, and furthermore, 42% limit their own fun,
intentionally.
Chase Freedom Unlimited, a credit card launched in March and
available now in Spanish in branches and in English online, lets
customers earn unlimited 1.5% cash back on everything they buy –
with the ability to redeem for cash back – any amount,
anytime.
Dr. Emma Seppälä, Stanford
University expert on the science of happiness, health and
success, says that the ability to inject small, incremental moments
of fun and happiness into your daily life is key to reducing
stress.
"If we focus on boosting fun and happiness in our lives, even in
little ways, research suggests we can end up more productive,
charismatic, energetic and innovative," said Dr. Seppälä. "The
Chase Freedom Unlimited Card survey results suggest that there are
unlimited opportunities for fun in everyday moments, experiences
and things."
Dr. Seppälä, author of The Happiness Track, Stanford psychologist and TEDx speaker, partnered
with Chase to share her research on why happiness and fun in our
lives matter and to provide tips to add a little more fun to our
day.
"Our customers use their cards for the essentials in life and
enjoy their cash back for fun things," said Pam Codispoti, President of Chase Branded Cards.
"Our new Freedom Unlimited card gives people 1.5% cash back on
everything they buy and they can use their cash back for little
things like coffee or save them up for a larger event like a spa
day."
