My credit card interest rate is way too high. I have not used it to make a purchase for well over a year. I am trying to pay it off as quickly as possible. When I do pay it off I will never get one again. My attitude to credit cards has been changed to a negative one. Thanks to poor customer service and ridiculous interest rate charges.

If you’re looking for a low frills card that has a low rate then this is it! It has a low rate and low fees which is what I needed. I didn’t want a card with a rewards program as I don’t spend enough on it to worry about the rewards.

This card is very handy for when you are out of cash and you see something you like. I like this card because if I pay my monthly account in full I get very little charges. Always best to pay full amount not just the minimum, as that’s when you can get into trouble.

A very below average card. No great features when compared to rest in the market. No balance transfer option. Took 2 months to get the card after I applied personally in the branch. And without my consent they applied credit card insurance and started charging $7.50 every month. Very disappointed.

This credit card has a good ongoing interest rate for purchases. It is much the same as other banks for cash advances. Just be wary should you go over your credit limit even by way of their interest charges or your own spending, you will be receiving a phone call pronto asking when you make the payment of this figure (quite often before you receive your statement).

Transactions and purchases take days to appear on your card, so you never really know what you’ve spent or what credit is remaining. Example: if you’re using it daily for all your purchases and don’t track and take note of every purchase you’ve made, you could really get caught out thinking you have credit when you actually don’t. Then there is the likelihood of going over your limit, and getting charged a fee for going over the limit. Overall, I’m not a fan of this card.

"Helped us cope with medical bills
Reviewed by Kathryn
It took some seriously blatant bullying from me to have our credit card limit increased when I needed yet another surgery. Since then I have been solicited to increase the limit a few times. If the current limit was so difficult to grant when I was in need, why do they think I can afford an even higher limit now?
I see the credit card as a necessary evil in my life. With it I can shop online, pay very heavy bills on time, and travel. Having a credit card does give me freedom to “catch” special prices on items or travel.
However, having a credit card means I pay for the convenience in interest and fees. These fees actually mean that I never manage to lower the limit as I am constantly paying only the fees. I see no other rewards to having a credit card than the aforementioned convenience.
