How the Asda Money Credit Card Helps Make the Most of Your Money
LEEDS, UNITED KINGDOM--(Marketwire - Nov 15, 2012) - The cost of living is increasing. This has pushed up the price of everyday essentials; however, there is a way to make the most of your money. Asda Money explains how their new cashback credit card could help consumers.
Squeezed UK households are feeling the pinch as daily essentials become more and more expensive. Figures show that over a third of households claim a £50 rise in monthly outgoings would push them into a personal finance crisis.*
Cash-strapped Brits are also contending with the rising price of fuel, as well as food and clothing. Asda Money''s cashback credit card with no annual fee helps households on all these household must-haves.
Food, clothing and more
Whether you shop as and when you need to or do a big weekly shop, you may have noticed that prices have been creeping up: official figures show that inflation stood at 2.5% in August.
Inflation rises are down to a number of factors, however, there is very little that consumers can do apart from shop sensibly. Asda Money''s new cashback credit card allows customers to make the most out of their food shop and gain something back. The Asda Money Credit Card offers shoppers 1% unlimited cashback on Asda shopping. This means 1% unlimited cashback in Asda stores, online and at Asda petrol stations. This also covers the George clothing range and the Living range.
Filling up at the pumps
High fuel prices can be enough to drive motorists into a financial frenzy, but using public transport is not always a cheaper alternative, or an option.
The Asda Money Credit Card offers drivers 1% cashback on fuel purchased at any Asda petrol station too.
In addition to the cashback earned everyday on the credit card also has no annual fee and a low APR.
Money management
Asda Money Credit Card owners can go online to use the free account management service. This allows you to access your account 24 hours a day to make payments, check your statements and see how much cashback you''ve earned. Another great benefit to the credit card is that it offers 0% interest on balance transfers for 12 months+ and the card also comes with no annual fee, unlike other cashback credit cards.
