Advantages: Good points system, easily managed online, interest rate in line with market place competitors

Disadvantages: Can't make payments over the phone to clear from your card

The Amazon Mastercard is a credit card on offer in conjunction with Halifax Bank of Scotland through Amazon.co.uk and is a great little credit card with rates competitive within the market place as well as offering points on all transactions. The card offers points back on transactions from the Amazon website at a rate of double those of purchases with other retailers and this is why I originally took the card out...if you are a fan of gaming (for example) then take this card out and put your console purchases onto this card when you purchase through Amazon and continue to use this card for you game, controller, utilities purchases and the points will build up nicely and once you reach the preset amount then you will automically receive a nice e-mail containing your Amazon.co.uk voucher for you to use against any purchases from the website which you can once again use towards your game purchases and use your card to pay the remaining balance to get the points back on the way to building up for your next voucher. The card is easily managed through the Amazon.co.uk website link to your credit card and any queries you have are easily answered by the Halifax Bank of Scotland but I would also say that when I had my card (I have since got rid of this card) you could not pay over the phone as Halifax Bank of Scotland only offer this to its customers through its own cards rather than those like the Amazon Mastercard.

Summary: A great card for those happy to manage all online and the points will gove Amazon vouchers
