Air Miles Mastercard

Doesn't the title of this op already tempt you to getting one?

I'm sure the majority of people in this world loves going on holiday but can't always afford it with hotels, taxes, spending money as well as the flight to think of! Well this could be the solution....

You apply for one of these cards (powered by Natwest) and hey presto, just use it and watch your points adding up! You can use this card almost anywhere in ...
...cards will undoubtedly accept Mastercard.

One negative point that I have to say about this card is that you have to spend £20 to be awarded with 1 airmile and so unless so use your credit card a lot then your points total will not grow as fast as you would like!

The added bonuses to this card though is usually when you take out one of these through their website and you are accepted, you usually get some airmiles free ... more

You apply for one of these cards (powered by Natwest) and hey presto, just use it and watch your points adding up! You can use this card almost anywhere in the world as the majority of places that takes credit cards will undoubtedly accept Mastercard.

One negative point that I have to say about this card is that you have to spend £20 to be awarded with 1 airmile and so unless so use your credit card a lot then your points total will not grow as fast as you would like!

The added bonuses to this card though is usually when you take out one of these through their website and you are accepted, you usually get some airmiles free as an incentive! Plus there is NO annual fee and you could get a free additional card for a friend or family member to help you spend and earn! If you apply now there is a low introductory rate at 6.9% for balance transfers and purchases for the first 6 months (17.4% APR variable). When you are short of cash, the card can double up as a cashpoint card but there is a handling fee of 1.5% (minumum £1.50) making the APR 19.2% variable!

Whats more, you can now use the airmiles elsewhere instead of just flights eg. trips to theme parks and the cinema...You can check your balances online as well cash in your points, the customer service is good. The partners scheme allows you also to earn points in Shell petrol stations as well as supermarkets such as Tescos.

To apply for one of these cards, all you have to do is visit their website and apply either online or ring the number provided. The website address is www.airmiles.co.uk.

The whole process took me about two weeks roughly before the cards arrived, the application itself was easy to fill in with the usual questions such as name, address, employment status. However, the card is subject to status and remember, only persons of 18 and above can apply for a credit card!

You get a monthly statement which consists of two pages, the first has the Natwest logo at the top left hand side and the airmiles logo on the right. The left hand side of the page is info on where you can spend your points and the special offers for that month and the left is a summary of your balances. At the bottom is the giro where you can take it to the bank to pay. The second page is a more detailed version of the statement such as where and when you used your card for that month and your airmiles balance and how much you had been awarded.

The minimum payment is £5 or 3% of the balance, whichever is the greater and you have the option to set up a direct debit or pay at the bank by post or by telephone, whichever suits your lifestyle.
