    I agree, held the card for 12 months then gave it up to avoid the £140 annual fee. Excellent card will take card again in 2 years when I can claim the rewards

    Me too, I enjoyed the free lounge pass too!

    I think you'll find the Tesco debit card is better than their credit card for Tesco purchases, but they're now both fairly useless outside Tesco.
    So the verdict is that a Tesco debit card is useful for Tesco petrol and in-store but useless elsewhere, and the Tesco credit card is useless everywhere !
    Be good if they were accepting new customers.
    Whoops - sorry, didn't know about that.  Tesco's horizons seem to be shrinking: at one time they seemed to do almost everything.  Perhaps their banking will go the same way as their broadband, email and Tesco Direct; they've already slashed their interest rate by two thirds.
    Its ok, I'm sure I remember reading/hearing about it but forgot about it until Id tried to apply for a second current account the other day.

  • I would recommend an Aqua credit card:  you get 0.5% cashback on ALL spending.  
    No longer available to new customers.

    There seems to be a real dearth of decent cashback cards.  

    I worked out on the HSBC cards you might have to spend £500 to get £1 back!

    HSBC keep writing to me pushing theirs, anyone use it?  Any good?
    The HSBC Rewards card is currently the most proportionally lucrative card in my wallet. The full benefits of it aren't really advertised but it can be good or terrible depending on where you spend. The cashback is paid into an account which the credit card draws from only a few days after qualifying purchases, so beats the way other cards pay out.

    The return means I overlook having to battle through Fort Knox to get into the online banking and use the portal that was seemingly designed at the same time.
  • Thanks, but i’m Not eligible for the new customer offer so not as good a deal as it would be.
    I didn't know that you had to be a new customer to take out a different Amex card.
    One lives and learns.


    onwards&upwards is correct - some existing customers are excluded from sign up offers when opening a new card.

    Taking out a new card is unrelated as there's a different set of criteria for that.

    Hooray for the interchange cap!! Hurrah for consumers!!! NOT. This country is such a nanny state that we get nothing good anymore.
