One all for credit cards

Fri, 20 May 2005

A one-all draw between Manchester United and Arsenal has been declared.

With the FA Cup Final just a day away, price comparison website Moneysupermarket has declared a one-all draw in terms of the Manchester United credit card and the Arsenal credit card.

Moneysupermarket has weighed up the benefits and rates offered by credit cards of both teams.

It found the scores drawn with both credit cards offering zero per cent for balance transfers for nine months.

However, the website warns that all football fans must check exactly what they are getting before loyally signing up for their team's credit card.

"There is no greater loyalty than that of a committed football fan," commented the director of credit cards at Moneysupermarket, Stuart Glendinning.

He said the kudos of holding your club's credit card in your wallet is understandable, but warned football fans to check exactly what benefits they will derive with their team credit card compared with the benefits available on a normal non-affinity credit card on the market.

Other clubs that offer the same zero per cent credit card deal include Liverpool, Everton and Chelsea. They all have a typical APR of 15.9 per cent.

But Mr Glendinning added: "Whether or not you are a Manchester United fan or an Arsenal fan you need to consider what card and club benefits you will receive as a consumer.

"It may be smarter to take one of these cards to keep at the front of your wallet but take another card to actually use," he concluded.

Moneysupermarket tries to make it easy for consumers to compare personal finance products and services in the market. They want to help consumers find the best and most competitively priced product for their needs, let them buy it online and save money.
