Hybrid Cards
There are an increasing number of mix-and-match type credit cards which allow
you to choose a low interest rate if you have
outstanding debt, or cash rewards when you are in a position to pay off the
balance in full.
Accucard
is the main issuer of this kind of card, and the company runs several other
hybrid cards for Lloyds TSB, More Th>n and
easyMoney.
The Virgin credit card and Egg
are amongst a host of issuers that also offer a mix of cash rewards and a lower
interest rate, although these cannot be swapped around.
Although this flexibility is better than being stuck paying an exorbitant
interest rate long after you have spent the 1% cash
reward, hybrid cards generally do not offer the best deal in any of the key
areas.
