This table has around 60 of the top credit cards in the UK. It is designed to help you compare credit cards between 4 factors that relate to almost all cards. These are Balance Transfer rate and duration, introductory purchase rates and duration, APR and rewards. This table should help you find the card that suits you and your daily needs.

The balance transfer in our experience is one of the main things people would like to compare. so we put this in the second column after name of credit card. This is split into two sub columns, rate and duration. This helps you see at a glance the different balance transfer deals for different cards. The same goes for all the other columns, a quick look and you can compare between all the cards.

You can also filter down your search by clicking on one of the links at the top of any of our credit card pages and find cards that only fit a particular criteria. Find cards with: Balance Transfer Deals, Zero Percent on Purchases, Rewards and Air Miles. We have Business Credit Cards, Charity Cards and Football Cards.

It is not a new format for comparing credit cards, but after listening to many internet users about what they liked and disliked about comparison tables, we have feel we have come up with a winning formula. We have kept the tables in this site a reasonable size. Many tables are far to small and this puts people off looking. We have made the tables visually appealing. Many comparisons websites have poor looking tables which look like they were thrown together in a rush with no thought put into them. We also make all the apply now buttons link to the credit card websites open in a separate window. This means if you decide to back to our site you only have to close the window you are on and the page you were on will still be there. Basically we have designed the table to be easy to use. Which is the most important thing to achieve with any site. If you have any suggestions about how to improve our tables or anything on our site please email us. We love to hear from our visitors.

The Benefits of Using a Credit Card Comparison Table

When it comes time to apply for a credit card this can be a confusing and frustrating experience. There are hundreds of credit card offers from companies around the world. Some credit card offers will have hidden charges and others high interest rates. It seems that it is almost impossible to know how to apply for a credit card and what type of credit card to apply for.

Before you apply credit card you should use a comparison table to compare the types of deals that are currently on the market. This is a fast and easy way to compare dozens of credit cards at one time. Plus when you are ready to apply for a credit card you can simply choose the credit card that is right for you and click on the link that will redirect you to the credit card company’s website.

A comparison table usually compares a number of things. When you are comparing credit cards make sure to use a comparison table that lists the features and benefits of the credit card. This is a one stop tool for choosing what type of card is perfect for you.

Other features that the comparison chart may list are reasons why to choose the card, the annual percentage rate, air miles, introductory purchase offer, introductory balance transfer, balance transfer offer conditions, how balance transfers are paid off, balance transfer fees, annual fees and other important information.

An example of a credit card comparison would be if the credit card allowed users to collect air miles for flights, hotels, days out, wine and more. Another credit card may offer costumers a low rate on balance transfers while another type of credit card may offer holders a low annual percentage rate that is perfect for shopping.

A credit card may have an annual percentage rate of fifteen percent or a variable rate or a rate that is as low as eleven percent. Some credit card companies will offer special deals to new card holders.

Some of the special deals that may be listed on the credit card comparison chart are zero percent APR for the first six months or zero percent on balance transfers for the first nine months. These deals may work for some card holders but not for others.

Before you apply credit card make sure to read all of the information on the credit card comparison chart in order to make the best decision. A credit card is like cash in your pocket. Often times credit cards come in handy but they can also be very dangerous.

Some card holders have unknowingly signed up for credit cards that have annual fees. There have even been instances when the fees amount to a hundred dollars or more and are put on the first credit card bill. This is an awful way to find out about a hidden fee. This is why it is so important to use a credit card comparison table before you apply for a credit card. Choose a card that suits your financial needs and your lifestyle.
