Enjoy great Rewards at home and abroad

  • Earn 1% back in Rewards on supermarket spending (0.5% at supermarket petrol stations and everywhere else).

  • Generous credit limit of at least £5,000, subject to approval.

It's a good idea to pay off your credit card balance every month, or you could pay more in interest than you earn in Rewards. If you transfer a balance (move debt) onto your Reward Black credit card, we'll charge you interest on it. Not sure this card is for you? See all our credit cards.
