I look forward to your all knowing and likely sarcastic and unhelpful reply.

The Santander 1-2-3 CC is worth checking out, you get up to 3% back but only on certain things, and the card has a fee. Worth checking the maths although there's something nice about getting points rather than just £1.56 credited to your account each month, since then you can save them up and splash out!Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

Originally posted by d000hg View PostYou already get 1 point per £1 you spend, so does the Tesco CC really end up doubling that? I thought they only gave you one extra point per £4 - so you end up getting 5 points in total per £4. I'm sure that used to be the case otherwise we would've got that card instead of Amazon when we were looking at rewards.

Used to have a GM card, and got a few K off new cars over the years. Believe they've just brought out a new one if Vauxhalls are your thing.

Originally posted by mudskipper View PostYep, you're right. It's 1 point per £4. Hmmm.
There are always cards which give 5% for a few months, but only up to £100 reward total. Worth it if you don't mind getting a new CC every 3 months, but you have to keep closing the old ones if they are backed by the same group... MBNA back LOTS of cards and have a total credit limit across all cards in the same name.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

You have to tell us what you want. Travel? Goods? See Head for Points for some good ideas if you're into hotel points or avios.
Personally, I use the Virgin Atlantic amex, and get 2 miles per pound spent. I put everything I can through this, and as a result the family and I get an upper class trip to somewhere nice every couple of years. Last year it was capetown, and I've just booked Miami for next summer.Comment

American Express has really good cashback cards if you are prepared to spend the amount required to qualify for them (which can also result in no annual fee), which I assume will be no issue with this being a contractor forum. Their Nectar card is also decent if you spend on those stores that qualify. It can work out better than some of the cashback cards on offer, but not their own ones if memory serves.Comment
