    The network recently announced the launch of their new campaign with International Student Identity Card (ISIC): the ISIC MasterCard “Get Exploring” Cashless challenge, in which teams of students will compete for prizes such as prepaid cards or trips for two through challenges that “focus on their love of travel.”

    What’s more, MasterCard most recent poll found that millennials truly are the “cashless generation,” with 92 percent indicating that they prefer to pay with credit, debit or prepaid cards. In the same telling study, just 6 percent said they prefer cash as the way to pay, with just 2 percent preferring checks.

    With that in mind, MasterCard’s latest question is a simple one: What was your favorite benefit of traveling with a card this Spring Break?

    Will speed and convenience win the day, or are consumers most fond of the security that cards bring? Will rewards make a push for the top spot?

    And this isn’t just a poll for the young: if you’ve taken a trip at any point in your life, you can answer too!
