Purchase Credit Card

5
If you're looking for a smart financial option, I highly recommend getting a Purchase Plus Credit Card Account. With 20 months of interest-free payments, I was able to book a family vacation for this year's holiday without worrying about paying extra interest rates. It helped me stay within my budget and made my vacation planning stress-free. Reviewed on: 1st June 2023

Very good money rates fee I recomand Reviewed on: 5th April 2023

Useful in some contexts

3
Credit card is helpful for unexpected costs that I want a bit more time to pay off, but given the low credit limit it can be more harmful than beneficial, as going above 50% doesn't reflect well on my credit score. Inclined not to use it much, which kind of defeats the point a bit, but it's come in handy at times. Not in love with it, but it does the job to some extent. Reviewed on: 31st March 2023

Good saving rate and easy access

Sort direct debits out with ease Reviewed on: 29th March 2023
