Conran Card

sarahdavison

Hi there.

I was reading the guide for cash back credit cards and it said that the Conran card is a good one to go for. I read the Conran card website and it said that they give £1 for every £100 spent (i.e. 1%). Does anyone out there have one? Is it actually 1% or £1 for every complete £100 spent? We currently have a normal MBNA credit card and it seems that the Conran Card is run by MBNA. Will this make it straightforward to change? It seems a bit too good to be true - have I missed something?

Thanks for your help,
Sarah

1%. What they guarantee is 0.8%, but they always paid 1% so far. Every statement shows SHARES EARNED (5.21 SHARES EARNED for example). Cashback is paid in Feb (about) and includes pence.

AFAIK recently MBNA don't welcome new applications from those who already have other MBNA card. It is worth calling them. Probably they can just 'switch' your card to Conran one.

I have a Conran card and have had two payments so far (had the card for two years). Both times the cashback has been at 1%.

However it being an MBNA card has meant that I have been rejected when I applied for another MBNA card in the past.

I have had an MBNA card for about 7 years (got it because it had a picture of a tiger on it, and I got a free cuddly tiger!) - but I applied for and got a Conran Card last year too.

Having fun with it, too
