Co-Operative Members Card

I have just been on the phone to the coop and the friendly and the not at all pushy advisor was talking about their members credit card where you can earn cashback for spending.

I said I have an Amex card to earn cashback and don't really like the look of the yellow card (very shallow I know, but it does look naff).

Anyway, just wondering how others rate this card and wonder if it is worth switching as they are ethical and donate money to charity when you spend on the card.

    I have just looked at this card and it looks like a reasonably good offer - similar to that offered by Halifax (which is the card I use as my backup card for where AmEx isn't accepted).

    Whether it's worth switching's up to you, but if you like pretty cards the Halifax Cashback Card gives you a choice of colour :-)

    I have the black.

    Thank you for the advice.

    I have got over my problems with the colour and decided to apply this morning. It seems a decent enough card as it pays cashback as well as paying out membership points and another bonus is they make a charity donation when you have spent £100.

    I plan to ditch the Amex and be proud of my little yellow number.

    Why is this card never featured in MSE's cashback reviews?

    It's not one of the best performers. But it's on the stoozing list http://www.stoozing.com/cashback.php :p
