Tesco Premium Credit Card

This new Tesco Bank credit card looks pretty bonkers:

Having dropped the clubcard points earning rates on their other cards, it seems this one has been introduced with the former rates maintained but offset by an annual fee... £150 per year!

If you spend £5000 over a year then you get a 5000 points bonus, which would cover the fee if boosted at 3X rate or better.

Also comes with worldwide travel insurance and a discount of £50/person off a BA Club Europe return flight for new accounts when booked within the first 2 months. Maybe a great deal if you have a large family!

i don't think so Sarah. that money could be spent on a card that would generate cashback/points right from the first £ spent.

Let me think.... Thanks but no thanks. Only another 4 months to go before I cancel my 123 card but I won't be replacing it with one of those! Innovation and different is good. Massive fees, not so much!

agreed. the take up won't be high.. it's not a good deal for careful shoppers, and it's not a good deal for experienced stoozers looking out for an angle either.
