6 fewer shopping days and a 3.4% increase in sales. (*this is data from MasterCard activity and ESTIMATES of cash &other payments types)

I would expect it is higher and will be revised up in the coming days/weeks. If not, the number is still very good.

For instance in 2017 the same MasterCard report stated that sales increased by 4.9%. However, on Jan 15, 2018 the much more detailed First Data spendtrend report stated the increase was actually 6.2%
A final point. Gift cards are not counted until they are used which means this next weekend will change the results of total sales as people go shopping with all those gift cards they got for Christmas.
