Question by Robin, UK on 08 Jun 2005 08:13
Is the YBS able to offer a credit card to match that of the Leeds & Holbeck (Morgan Stanley) with up to 1% cash-back?

Robin,
Your question is very timely as Yorkshire Building Society will very shortly be launching a credit card which I'm you will find more than meets your requirements. Details will be available on our web site as soon as the product is launched.

I saw a bit about it in the Daily Telegraph yesterday. Sorry, thrown it away, but it's obviously publicising itself now.

Hope to see it real soon.

It appears to be provided by the Co-op, with 1% cashback on first £2K annual spend, followed by 0.5% on rest of annual spend.

Cashback credited to mortgage account annually, or paid via cheque.

Google search threw up dozens of results, and I've linked to one below...

...says there will be two versions: one that tracks the BoE base rate for 6 months then Boe + 5.5%; the second offers 6 months 0% (doesnt say if thats on purchases, BTs or both) followed by 15.4%

But, from above link:

"The card is also only available to existing customers or new mortgage customers"

Pah!
