Recommend a VISA rewards card?

Legacy_user

I'm trying to find a rewards card that is VISA (reason being I don't have a VISA card at the moment and I think it could be prudent to carry one as well as mastercard (just in case).

Cant seem to find any rewards cards that are VISA? Am I just being stupid or aren't they any? Seems Tandem, Aqua, M&S, John Lewis, ASDA, Tesco etc are all Mastercard.

Barclaycard Platinum cashback plus card is the only one I know.

Barclaycard used to offer the Freedom Rewards card which is a Visa, however this has now been replaced with the Travel/Cashback card.

But yes the rest are Visa or Amex - have you considered an Amex card?

Yeah got Amex gold ( free for this year). And Trusty BA Amex. Wonder why so few VISA rewards? The vast majority or reward cards in the U.S. are Visa.

Maybe have a look at the Amex cashback cards - there's 2 variations, and with a referral (winky face) you can earn a welcome bonus as well (£10 for spending £1 or more on the free card or £25 for spending £1 or more on the fee-based card).

Both offer a 5% for the first 3 months opening offer as well.

It's specifically a VISA I am after. I have AMEX and mastercard.

There are a few VISA cards which are quite good, you can quickly compare the benefits using comparison sites nowadays - such as finder.com.
But I strongly recommend the AMEX card, exceptional client service plus AVIOS points based on purchases

I've got Simply Rewards by Nationwide (Visa) but it's not a typical cashback on all spending. It's just offers from various retailers. You log into your Visa Simply Rewards accounts and see offers. If you spend with this or that particular retailer online, you get 10% or 15% off. But even this is now ending. It's only available until the 1st April 2019.
