Christmas is coming ... and special debt deals are up for grabs
Special credit card deals – everything from cash backs, fee waivers and bonus points to discounted Uber rides and smartphone screen insurance – are flooding the market. Just in time for our Christmas binge!
Research by comparison site Rate City reveals there are now 54 cards on the market trying to grab a slice of the profitable Christmas action.
They include the American Express Explorer credit card. Apply online and spend $1500 in the first three months and you’ll receive 100,000 membership rewards bonus points. If discounted Uber rides appeal, then Westpac’s Altitude card offers $20 off every third Uber ride on each new card (total redeemable value of $250 during the offer period which ends December 31, 2017). Other tempting deals include the Coles fee-free Master card. Sign up for this card and you can expect free delivery if you spend on the card, plus collect one fly buys point for every $2 spent.
