As a young businessman in the seventies the launch of Barclaycard and it’s rival Access opened a whole new buying experience for me, the only other alternative to carrying cash in those days was American Express or Diners Card, neither of which offered credit facilities and both demanding a fee to join.
I have pretty much stuck with Barclaycard in it’s various Gold and Platinum guises ever since. Only recently with a change in my personal circumstances I found myself in need of a new credit card and was amazed at what is on offer. The comparison site CompareandSave tells me that there are currently more than 300 credit cards on offer and adds helpful advice in finding the right one for me.
Credit cards in most cases are chosen as a means of credit that can be spread over a period of time, the client looking to obtain credit in this way needs to compare the cost of credit or APR offered by each card.
Other’s who use the card to buy and then pay off their balance each month will possibly be looking at the other benefits or perks that a card can offer.
Once I know what I am looking for the site makes the job easier for me by offering to compare the top ten credit cards available in the UK, although it is possible to see the full list of 300 or so. From here it is possible to make a choice based on the information given and one click will take me to the providers web page and application form. It is really that simple.
This comparison site is well designed and easy to read, which is just as well given the wealth of information available on it’s pages, various sections of interest include recent credit card reviews, a history of articles and current news. The latter offering updates on the various credit card scams and fraud that are currently being used and advice on how to avoid becoming a victim of credit card fraud.
A brilliant and easy to use site that comes recommended.
