Card battle hots up
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.MIDLAND Bank is joining the battle to persuade card holders to use their cards, writes Vivien Goldsmith.
It will award points for every pounds 10 spent. A variety of offers is promised. For instance, Access and Visa cardholders can reclaim their pounds 12 annual fee for 220 points.
One million of NatWest's 4.5 million cardholders are registered for Air Miles, which reward card users with one air mile for every pounds 20 spent.
Barclays' Profiles scheme awards points for every pounds 10 spent on the card. These can then be spent on goods from a catalogue or saved towards a discount on a Ford car.
More than 3,000 cardholders have already used their points for a car discount. The maximum discount is pounds 1,800 - pounds 600 a year for three years.
The new Ford card is being launched with Barclaycard on 1 April. The pounds 10 annual fee will be waived for the first year.
