A couple of days ago I almost left my credit cards behind at Tesco. I managed to retrieve them, but it got me thinking about how dependant on cards I had become. Without them I would really be lost. That small pouch had literally thousands of pounds of potential cash and it would have been disastrous if they ended up in the wrong hands.
I have a whole collection of cards, which come from the days when I used to switch from one card to another to make use of their free credit on balance transfers. I’m glad I’m no longer in that loop because it can be quite risky, but it’s always good to compare credit cards and make use of their favourable rates and conditions.
