Credit cards perks

Anyone know any cards with good perks around atm?

I have a barclaycard (which I've had for years) but I get a bit fed up of not getting any perks with it (no cashback, points, money off etc) and wonder if I'm missing out

It's usually cleared in full each month but can have the odd month of having a balance - and the interest is huge when this happens, something else I'd like to address if poss!

Limit is quite large (increasing to £7.5k in March) and I'd like to keep it at a decent level

Credit rating is good - took car finance last summer but it was cleared before Christmas

I realise it might be an idea to wait a couple of months so that's def showing as cleared on my credit report (and also as it went onto the c/card - again now cleared - I realise that if the finance co is slow to update & the c/card is pretty quick, then it could look like I've loads of outstanding credit)

TIA

    You did check MSE articles, didn't you?
  • I did look under the 'cards loans' tab but I don't need 0% or balance transfers etc which seemed to be most of the stuff there

    Should I be looking somewhere else? TIA

    Perks and low interest when you don't clear the balance don't usually go together.
    loose does not rhyme with choose but lose does and is the word you meant to write.
