Variable rate Aqua card.

Aqua advertises a variable rate on their website. 35.9% is listed on the homepage. What's the rate your paying/been accepted at? I know i'm paying 29.6% atm. What is the best rate i can hope for?
I came into this world with nothing and I'm gonna leave with nothing.

  • Just pay in full every month and your rate will effectively be 0% APR. Use these high APR cards for building a credit history, do not carry balances on them.

    I don't see specifically a variable rate card on the Aqua website except in the sense that the APR on all the different cards is variable. That is unless you know different.

    I would say that the only way to attain 29.6% APR on an Aqua card is with the Aqua Advance card. At the time I closed my Aqua Advance my APR was 19.94%. Not impossible though since the 35.9% APR quoted on for example the Classic card is a representative example.

    Let's just say that the 29.6% quoted in your opening post is unlikely.

    I'd beg to differ. Taken from my Aqua classic statement.



    Typical APR N/A 29.6% N/A
    Standard Purchase Rate 2.187% 29.6% N/A
    Standard Balance Transfer Rate 2.187% 29.6% N/A
    Standard Cash Rate 2.841% 40.0% N/A
