Like cashback cards, a reward credit card, as its name suggests, rewards you every time you spend on it. One of the best things about rewards credit cards is that you can choose one to suit your lifestyle. If you are something of a globetrotter, for example, then a card on which you earn Airmiles will offer great benefits.
If, on the other hand, you have a large family that costs a huge amount to feed each week, a card offering money off your weekly grocery shop could be a better option.
You will earn reward points each time you spend on your card. What these points can be used for will depend on which credit card you opt for, but they can be exchanged for things such as Airmiles, high street shopping vouchers or days out to places such as Alton Towers.
A rewards credit card is only worth considering if you pay your balance off in full each month. Otherwise, the interest you are charged on your outstanding debt will outweigh the value of the reward.
Cashback cards are a more flexible alternative to reward cards as they give you a percentage of all your spending back – you are not restricted on how the ‘reward’ is used.
This stands for Annual Percentage Rate. Any firm that lends money is required by law to quote the APR. Introductory rates do not include arrangement fees you may be charged and also don’t reflect any higher rate of interest that your borrowings will ultimately revert to. The APR takes into account the interest on a loan plus and additional charges making it easier for you to compare products. In general, the lower the APR the better the deal.
Balance transfer rates are applied to existing card debt that is being moved from one issuer to another or a consolidation of other debts. These rates tend to be lower than standard rates and apply to the debt transferred or consolidated for a specified term or until it is repaid in full.
Credit cards are a form of borrowing used to purchase goods and services, to obtain cash advances and for consolidating debt.
This allows an organisation to take money directly from a persons bank account
The amount you must pay each month to keep your account in order
The time between when you buy something on the card and the date when you must pay your monthly bill. This can be 50 days or more and is interest-free. So if you settle your bill in full every month, it's free borrowing.
A rate that is applied to your account until a given expiry date. Thereafter it will revert to the rate applicable to your account at that time.
