Bonusbond gift card (=Mastercard debit card) - impact on credit rating?

RFrank

Hi,
I recently got a letter from E.ON, encouraging me to exchange my E.ON Reward Points to either Tesco Clubcard points or Bonusbond gift vouchers, before they expire. I called E.ON to exchange my points.
Although I had not heard about Bonusbond before, I went for this option since every 500 E.ON Reward Points = £5 in high street vouchers, restaurants etc, which seemed more value for points than via Tesco.
I have since checked Bonusbond gift cards online, and it seems these 'vouchers' come in form of a Mastercard (debit card), which had not been explained to me before. Two questions:
1) Is this equivalent to a store card?
2) Will this have an impact on my credit rating? (Frankly, these 'free' vouchers wouldn't be worth that.)

Now, I do not own any store card nor do I wish to own one. I wish this information was specified more clearly on both the E.ON and Bonusbond websites - but it isn't; and customer service at Bonusbond didn't know the answers either..

Could you please clarify the above?
Thank you.
Kind regards,
RFrank

It sounds like just another form of giftcard. So no, it will have impact on your credit files.
