in Credit cards
Hi all
I am in the market for a new credit card, my current one is a M&S credit card and is years old. I plan on keeping it as the limit is quite high and also to keep the history of credit (I read thats a good thing..).
I want a long interest free card with rewards. I cannot use Sainsbury as have closed an account with them recently. I did look at the Santander 123 Credit Card but that seems a lot of effort for little reward.
I have tried the comparison sites, but thought it would be worth a asking on here. As I know some people on these forums find a gem from time to time :j
Any help appreciated

Hello MBNA, Virgin and Barclaycard have the longest offers at moment0

OK thanks. I just had a quick look and it seems that the Barclaycard have a 'Freedom Rewards credit card' scheme. 12 months interest free on purchases with freedom points earned:

Lloyds choice rewards card, it offers 2 years 0% on purchases, and the rewards value on the american express card is 1.5%0

Yeah I saw that but it comes with a annual fee, so you really would have to spend hard to make the card worthwhile in terms of cash back.
Thanks for the heads up though :j0 -

If you have a Club Lloyds account you get £12 of the card's £24 Annual Fee waived and it's double points on the American Express from the first six months of account opening.It's not your credit score that counts, it's your credit history.
