Our expert says: "A good alternative to a cashback card because reward points can be used at a wide range of high street retailers including John Lewis, Boots and Debenhams. Earn 1 point for every £1.00 spent on the card. There is a 13-month 0% offer on balance transfers, but don’t use the card for this purpose if you’ll spend on it as well: purchases are only interest-free for 3 months – you’ll be charged 15.9% thereafter"
