Review of the Virgin Money, Credit Cards:

Virgin Money Pre-Paid Mastercard

I found the pre-paid card was a great way to help the offspring when they were travelling abroad. The scheme allowed for a second named card to be added on the same account. Website management page gave useful information on where the money was going. I thought it was a good way to manage travel money for them without much risk. Overall no more expensive than Western Union etc. Reviewed on: 7th June 2018

Review of the MBNA, Virgin Atlantic Credit Cards:

Handy way to keep air miles active

MBNA issued an AMEX card with a healthy credit limit. As I have always paid the full amount by direct debit I can not comment on how they handle late payments etc. I get the odd security check when buying high value items but I have never had a purchase declined once the questions are answered correctly. It is a shame the have recently pulled out of the Virgin Atlantic air miles scheme. Reviewed on: 7th June 2018

Review of the Animal Friends, Pet Insurance:

Border Collie

Settled on Animal Friends after a couple of years of supermarket pet cover. No comparison thanks to superb help line support and fair pricing. Only had one claim during the life of our collie but it was handled smoothly and after the initial contact directly with the vet. Reviewed on: 6th June 2018

Review of the Virgin Money, Travel Insurance:

Beware of auto renewal on 12 month policy paid by credit card.

First 12 month policy branded as 'Virgin' no problems with that but I did not recall accepting auto renewal by credit card. Only realised a second year had been taken during a credit card statement check when an entry from Insure and go appeared. Took far to long to get the unwanted policy cancelled and the money to be refunded. Had to threaten to withdraw investments and cancel mobile contracts before VM would act. This happened a few years ago so I would hope their marketing has been made clearer now. Reviewed on: 5th June 2018

Review of the Hargreaves Lansdown, Investment Management:

Good Starting Place For Share Ownership

Fees are relatively high but H&L were a good place to start my years of investing. Once you get to know the basics move on to lower fee rate platforms but you will get less help and advice. You get what you pay for (sometimes) but H&L can give you a very easy ride. Reviewed on: 5th June 2018
