Normal credit card but can earns you extra Tesco points
5
I've been a customer of Tesco credit card for a while. Great card as long as you pay the balance off in full every month which is easy to do as you can set this up as a direct debt so you don't have to remember to do it manually.
Card works fine and earns extra Tesco points on pretty much everything it is used for, even shopping for food at other supermarkets earns you points.
I have had a few fraudulent uses of the card but Tesco cleared this up very quickly.
Overall it works well but just pay off the balance in full every month to avoid charges.

Recently I opened a Barclays Cash Card account as a separate account to my main bank account from a different provide and also to be able to access my Barclays ISA online.
The opening process was simply but took nearly 30 minutes and for this account has to be done in branch. The Barclays lady setting up the account though did try to sell me every extra possible from Life Insurance to Boiler cover even though I told here several times I only wanted the account so it gave me an online account and therefore be able to access my ISA.
The account is very simple, no overdraft, no cheque book, just a debit card and can be opened with just £1. A few days after opening my debit card arrived and next day the PIN.
All in all a good experience apart from the extra sales patter.
