Credit cards Reward credit cards
Reward credit cards pay you a percentage of your spending, either as vouchers to use in-store or to pay for meals, days out or other leisure activities.
If you do a lot of your shopping with one particular retailer, a reward credit card could be good for you. As with a cashback credit card, these deals are only worth considering if you pay off your credit card bill in full.

Customer score
Which? member score based on customer satisfaction and likelihood of recommending company to friend/family member. Customer scores are based at brand level.
Customer scores based on a survey of 15,207 Which? connect online community members carried out between September 2012 and February 2013.
Wherever we display an “APPLY NOW” button in the above table, that company pays us a small fee each time someone clicks on the button. These payments do not influence whether a product is in the table, where it appears, or whether it continues to do so. Our Best Rates tables are compiled by our independent researchers. All revenue raised from these tables is reinvested in our research and campaigning work on behalf of all UK consumers.
Which? Recommended Providers
Which? Recommended Providers are companies that are both rated highly by our members and have products that meet the high standards of our researchers. Which? closely monitors the products and practices of all Recommended Providers and reserves the right to exclude any company that does not treat its customers fairly. Follow the link for a full list of WRPs.
Which? Warning Poor Satisfaction
We also understand that for many people, finding products with the best rate is a priority. But where a product from a provider with a poor customer score appears in our Best Rate tables, we'll highlight this with the warning logo. Our customer satisfaction surveys measure overall satisfaction with the provider in relation to credit cards, not individual credit cards offered by the brand. The customer score should therefore not be associated specifically with any individual credit cards. Only customer scores that are significantly below average and fall into our bottom statistical tier receive our warning. Our customer scores are updated every six months.
By naming and shaming providers which customers judge to offer poor satisfaction in these tables, we hope that companies improve their standards.
