    Have you read the website you linked to? It clearly states that you get 1% cashback on everything you buy.

    You need a pretty perfect credit history to be accepted.

    It is good in as far as you get a real 1% of the monthly statement as opposed to MBNA's rounded down to the nearest whole pound of each purchase. Luckily I have mine from the fee free era. Free Equifax credit alert is another bonus.

    Never associate with idiots on their own level, because, being an intelligent man, you'll try to deal with them on their level - and on their level they'll beat you every time.

    Being hated by idiots is the price you pay for not being one of them.

    Ah, so that's why I get free regular Equifax alerts. I had been wondering why:T:T

    I looked at this card a while back. I was always under the impression that the 'world' credit cards are the best.

    I was shocked to see that Capital one card had so little credit limit allowed. I was even more shocked to see that their one rate card had even more allowed credit than the world card.

    A number of cashback sites are currently offering £18 cashback if you take out the card - that effectively pays for the 1st annual fee.

    If your not looking for a massive credit limit, their basic credit card with the high apr might be a better bet as it has no annual fee. It was in this week's newsletter.
