    Good rewards scheme - cash back for normal spending.

    Good rewards scheme - cash back for normal spending. Unfortunately many of the special offer rewards are not available in my area - ie extra rewards at certain chain stores

    They're a bank

    They're a bank, not much more you can say other than hey, remember when banks would give you interest? You also have to ignore all their past financial scandals.
