From the article:

If you're not desperate for the extra interest-free month that the Nuba card offers, you're still likely to be better off with one of the 40 month cards if you've more than £1,900 to transfer, as the fees are so much lower.

Dead right. Why pay 1.1% higher fee just to buy that extra month?

Or for shorter timespan, 2.49% fee for 25 month 0% balance transfer, when there's a rival with no fee for 24 month

Maybe rewrite the bit about it being one of the top picks?

I'm surprised MBNA have launched a new credit card brand when their UK card business is up for sale.

I'v seen that card a few years ago. I think they withdrew it and now launching it again with different rewards and features.

I still have the More Rewards Cards as took them out for the opening offer of double points for three months that worked out as 2% for Amex spend and 1% for Visa (as long as you exchanged points for vouchers rather than cash).

My cards still run at 0.5% visa and 1% Amex, until recently I used the Visa as backup for where Amex is not accepted but now use the TSB Mastercard instead as is 1% up to £500 a month.

Will be interesting to see what rates they launch this card with.
