Some historic HfP credit card articles still worth a read

Alongside the post today on the latest credit card news, I wanted to highlight a few articles from last year which are worth a read if you have made a New Year resolution to change the miles and points credit cards in your wallet.

This article ranks all of the UK loyalty cards by the value of their sign-up bonus – helpful if you are looking for a quick churn.  (Ignore the comments on Lufthansa and United as these promotions have now finished and the bonuses are now lower.)

This article, on the other hand, ranks all of the cards in terms of their value for long-term spending – helpful if you are looking for card to have as a ‘keeper’.

This article discusses which credit cards are best for spending overseas.

This article discussed how many credit cards one person can have.

And finally, this article shows you what you can do with American Express Membership Rewards points.

These posts are not up to date, so double-check any information before relying on it.
