Advantages: Generous rebate

Disadvantages: None

I've had my Goldfish credit card now for several years, and have found it to offer the second-best return. It gives you the equivalent of 1% back on what you spend, although admittedly not in cash.

As an aside, the GM Visa card is still the best value credit card for rebates, giving you up to 6% of your spend back off a Vauxhall. If you want to know more about this, please see my earlier opinion.

Anyway, back to the Goldfish card. Here are the important facts....

· it's available as either a Visa or a Mastercard.

· it's FREE

· you get 1% back in rebate points which you can redeem for Boots gift vouchers, money off your British Gas Bill, and a wide variety of other useful items.

· you pay no interest if you repay in full 25 days after your statement date, otherwise the interest rate is currently 1.24% per month (15.9% APR)

· cash advances are subject to a cash handling fee of 1.5% (minimum £2.50)

· you can pay by post, at a bank, online or by direct debit

To find out more, call their customer services on 08705 111 444 or visit the website www.goldfish.com. The website is really easy to use, and once you've registered you can view your account on line, make payments, redeem you points, etc..

The card is widely accepted, and it is nice to know that I will be getting something back for using a card that doesn't cost anything.

Oh, and the card is very pretty. When I was shopping in Canada last year, several of the shop assistants commented on how cute the goldfish design was!
