    Easy to use and never had a problem with it

    Reviewed by Anon

    You can use this card anywhere in the world and with low fees, it’s the perfect credit card. The customer service is good, they’re very reliable and will always make sure to verify your details before submitting any changes. I wish they had more rewards though, because I’ve never been offered anything for using this service. Everyone deserves a reward.


    Great rewards program

    Reviewed by Jaz

    This card has a great rewards program and has been handy with up to 55 days interest free. The rate is high if you don’t pay this card out in full every month so it’s better if you are someone who pays it out in full every month. No issues with the card or service.
