Amazon has launched a credit card giving 1% to 2% back on purchases at Amazon and up to 0.5% elsewhere, all paid in the form of gift cards to use at the online retail giant.

Barclaycard's cutting minimum repayments – you could be in debt YEARS longer paying DOUBLE the interest.
If you've got debt on a Barclaycard, it's likely the minimum you have to repay each month will be cut from next week, as the bank is changing how repayments are set for millions of customers. If you're unaware and pay interest (so aren't on a 0% deal), and don't act, you could stay in debt for many years longer and pay possibly £1,000s more in interest.

Barclaycard has launched the longest 0% spending credit card we've seen since May 2020, giving some 25 months interest-free spending – though not all will get the headline rate. If you NEED to borrow, 0% spending cards are the cheapest way – here's how it compares.

New and existing Mastercard credit card customers at Santander are now able to earn 1% cashback on overseas spending – but many will pay a 2.95% exchange fee, which negates the cashback. Here's what you need to know.

Debit and credit card users must ensure their bank or lender has their up-to-date contact details as new rules take force today that see card providers forced to check if it's really you making transactions.

Some 800,000 shoppers with Amazon Classic and Platinum Mastercards will no longer be able to use them from January 2023 as NewDay, the issuer, has walked away from the partnership. It's a blow for Platinum card holders who earn points to redeem at the online retailer.

Here's what's happening.
