Limited cashback

The interest rate on this card far outweigh's the cashback. Stick to a lower interest rate card or 0% on purchases card. Reviewed on: 2nd July 2017

123 Credit Card

we have used this for some time now for when we need to purchase something large when we don't have the spare cash at hand to pay out in one large sum. Reviewed on: 30th May 2017

Very good experience so far

I've had a 123 Crdit card for a few years now and touch wood, it's been great. I'm still earning more cash back than fee costs, and I had one experience of card details being cloned or stolen which Santander sorted out extremely quickly for me, which gives me great peace of mind using it! Foreign transaction costs are much better than on most credit cards too, which was a nice surprise :) Reviewed on: 30th May 2017

Goal-post Changing

I've had this card for about 2 years. It all started really well; I was earning decent 'free' money through the 1-2-3 cash back offer until they changed their terms. There's always been a fee of £3 per month but now they've capped it so the most you can earn is £9 per month (£6 net after charges) and that's only if you meet the three spending elements. It is what it is, I guess, but it's a shame as there are plenty of other credit cards that offer cash back without setting limits. Reviewed on: 30th May 2017

Great credit card

Brilliant card, easy to use, easy to understand and great rates Reviewed on: 30th May 2017

Paid for shopping!

For a small monthly fee I get a little cashback on my purchases each month. Cashback always exceeds the fee so works out nicely giving me a little extra to treat the kids. Reviewed on: 29th May 2017

Great cashback!

Receiving 3% cashback on our current account is fabulous and really helping us save when interest on savings accounts is so low. Have made over £2000 in cashback since opening the account Reviewed on: 24th May 2017
