DTZ Debenham Thorpe

Advantages: Discount and bonuses
Disadvantages: APR

...Now I work for Debenhams, and have done now for a year and if there is one thing I have to do, it's to be able to process account cards. There have been some modifications to the old store card and a new MasterCard has been introduced, but I'm sure you will find all the information you need below! . THE APPLICATION. The application for a Debenhams card is pretty much the same as before, except now it is a dual application you are considered for a Debenhams store card and a Debenhams MasterCard (explained later on in DEBENHAMS MASTERCARD section).

Advantages: First week 10% discount, and regular special offers/vouchers
Disadvantages: High APR - and pressure on staff to open accounts
