LEEDS, UNITED KINGDOM — (Marketwire) — 10/02/12 — Recent research from Asda Money shows that the nation is disillusioned with credit card point schemes.(i)
One in three Britons believes that you have to spend too much on a reward scheme credit card to reap any benefits.(ii) A further 20% don-t even use the reward schemes offered by their card provider.
Asda Money explains how a cashback could help you.
A cashback credit card can be a useful alternative for those who want to put more pounds in their pocket. These types of credit cards are designed to give cashback rather than giving points. This allows consumers to spend the cash they have earned on their credit card on anything they choose rather than being allocated reward points.
Cashback credit cards can help you make money on the money you spend.
The process of getting a cashback credit card is simple and straightforward, however, there might be a few details you may want to check before committing yourself to one. This should include the interest rate that you will be required to pay, the credit limit and when you receive the cashback.
Many lenders offer 0% interest deals for a set period of time, especially for new customers. It might also be worth checking this so you don-t get caught out when the interest free promotion ends.
The Asda Money Credit Card offers unlimited 1% cashback for purchases in Asda stores and online; fuel from any Asda petrol station as well as clothing and footwear from the George fashion brand.
Cardholders can also benefit from 0.5% cashback on entertainment, travel, hotels, holidays and eating out when using the card to pay in non-Asda stores.
One of the additional benefits of the Asda Money Credit Card is the fact that customers are able to access their account at any time via an online money management service. So you can check your balance and how much cashback you have earned wherever you are.
