So what do you guys use?
Currently have a SKY credit card which gets me money off my SKy bill, however they have pissed me off so i shall not be using them anymore.

I want a card that gives me something back. Always paid off each month so dont care about the APR, would just like something useful back.

Cheers

PS: Personal use + some expenses

Egg money gives 1% cashback and 4% interest on a positive balance; which is better than you'll get from a bank.

Amex Platinum is pretty good. 5% for the first 3 months, then 1.5%.

If you spend a lot on petrol, especially vpower, the citi bank shell card works out fairly rewarding.

That's what I thought, just checked it but they are not doing new business now, "taking a break"! I use citi card through shell, 3p off jungle juice & 1% back off all purchases

If you travel, take a look at BA Amex or Virgin Amex. With the BA one, you can also use tesco clubcard to increase BA miles. It's not suitable for everyone, but it can work really well, especially if you can travel outside of school hols/off peak, when the miles seats availability is much better.

If you dont fly, ignore this post smile

I've got the Amex Platinum, 5% on purchases for 3 months then 1%

Only problem is you don't get the cashback until you've had the card for over 1 year (Not sure if this is the case with other cards)

Get yourself a Tesco one and get the clubcard points.... they are worth 4 times their face value. Then you can chop them in against numerous things. We use ours each year to pay for our RAC membership, and a holiday in France to name a few.
