Easy Money Credit Card Reviews
Visiting easymoney.com a few months
ago i was greeted by a picture of stelios, the
chairman of the easygroup, (encompassing easyjet etc), cutting up
his barclaycard
in protest of their policies over their ownership of luton airport.
Politics aside, the site then
progressed to express what this self-named, very
orange, alternative to barclaycard could offer its card users. to
my knowledge, it is
the first credit card that allows you to set what benefits you want
to have.
For example, if you always pay the full balance of your card every
month, you can
set the cashback to maximum (0.8%), select to have no annual fee
and allow the
interest rate to rise to 17%; still lower than most competing cards.
if you want to have a lower interest
rate, it can go down as far as 12% with a £20
annual fee, or 15.4% with no annual fee the trade off being that
you get no
cashback at all. This selection process is made using sliding bars
which are very easy to use, allowing a large variety of combinations
with the general trade off being interest rate against annual fee
and cashback.
Having recently suffered the halving
of cashback to 0.5% by eggcard, this is a
welcome opportunity to notch up 80p cashback for every
£100 spent on the card, it soon adds up.
You get the opportunity to alter your card settings for free up
to three times per year, then the charge is a hefty £10 each
time, however it is unlikely that you should need to alter the settings
that much.
the card is operated by accucard
and is a mastercard, however seeing as it seems
everyone takes both mastercard and visa, this is no real issue.
the online application form asks for details to first determine
if you have sufficient financial credit status, then determines
your credit limit from this. then you may request an associated
card (eg for your partner) and set up a direct debit to pay the
balance (or less if you desire), and await the forms in the next
few days' post to sign. a few days later the card(s) should arrive
and will require a free phone call to activate, then you are away.
From here on the card is a pretty standard internet based credit
card. Designed to
be used best on the internet, statements are available in paper
form, however you
will incur an extra 0.3% on the interest charge. Online you get
access to latest
details such as repayment dates, to see how much all-important cashback
you
have earned to date, to make online payments using a debit card
or direct debit (or
cheque) and even make an online balance transfer from another card.
If you need
to contact customer service, there is a secure email option using
the online form
but here comes my only gripe. Twice I used this option to email
them to request a
change to my direct debit date, twice received an automated response,
but nothing
further. This meant I needed to phone their customer service line
and suffer the extortionate 25p per minute call charge.
However, their representative
was very helpful and even rang me back later to let me
know that everything would be altered in time for my next payment.
Hopefully the maximum rate of cashback will remain at at least 0.8%
which would mean it will probably remain the highest reward credit
card which is freely accepted (thus counting out the 1% American
Express Blue); remaining for me my first choice for all credit card
purchases.
