The Ultimate Top 10 Lists

Top 10 Credit Cards

When we use credit cards we’re essentially taking out a tiny loan in order to pay for something that presumably we couldn’t normally pay for otherwise. This is serious business then technically and for many people in a lot of debt the credit card Is synonymous with stress and financial difficulty.

However that said, just because we’re serious about finance, that doesn’t necessarily have to mean that our credit cards should be dull and boring. When you carry your credit card around with you 24/7 and use it so often, why not make it a little more creative and interesting? And with so many different types of cards out there, why not seek out some different kinds of rewards and perks? Here we will look at the Top 10 credit cards that should stand out from the crowd…

10 JCB & Ping An Bank Toy Themed Credit Cards

9 Discover Biodegradable Card

The Discover Biodegradable Card is a great bit of thinking and provides a card that carries a green message, and that will be easy to dispose of when you’re done without snipping it into lots of tiny bits with scissors.

6 OnePulse Card

OnePulse is a debit card from Barclays designed for Londoners which is highly multi-functional and the first of our Top 10 credit cards to offer more than a funky design. Not only is this a regular Barclay Card, but it also allows for cashless payments using OneTouch (where you swipe over a sensor rather than scanning and entering a PIN for payments under £10) and can be topped up through a ‘built in’ Oyster card.
