Consumer Reports Caution for Holiday Shopping
November 24th, 2009
Consumer Reports took out an ad in USA Today for the fourth straight year warning consumers of retailers’ holiday shopping practices. The ad cites survey results showing most Americans are unhappy with their pushy methods, like being asked to sign up for store credit cards and extended warranties. Consumer Reports paid $143,000 for the ad and says it’s especially important this year when people are trying to buy less and shop smarter. The New York Times Nov. 23, 2009
