Lots to consider
To many of us, it feels like the banks have done nothing but take from us in recent years - a feeling that rings especially true for anyone who’s had an eye on the abysmal savings rates across the board right now…
Therefore, it’s a welcome change to see a credit card operator offering back some genuinely compelling rewards.
Regarding the launch of Avantages Rewards, Chris Paul, Managing Director, Avantcard said:
“We are delighted to launch our new rewards programme ‘Avantages’ to all our credit card customers. ‘Avantages’ will benefit our customers by saving money on hundreds of well-known brands, with offers and discounts across a wide range of categories. The new rewards programme is packed full of a wide assortment of great offers such as cashbacks, discounts and free-to-enter competitions for our customers.
“At Avantcard, we don’t operate “one size fits all’ approach. Every consumer has individual needs and interests, so we focus on bringing products and services that are made just for them. This is only the beginning for Avantages and we plan on adding to the programme over the coming months with more exciting developments to make sure there is something in Avantages for everyone”
