General Comments

The Amazon.co.uk credit card is my first true credit card (I got a Vanquis one with only £250 before), and I got it during my student days; that is before I had any real income or job. I just filled out the application to 'try my luck', and I was told online that I had been approved for a £1700 credit limit! That is how students get into deep debts.

I got the paperwork quickly, and I just needed to sign and return it. The card arrived just days later.

Everything works fine! Bills have always been on-time and correct. The APR after the promotion period is at a fair 14.9%

I never really need to use the customer services much, but the online banking/account is the silly HBOS one. This being a Halifax card, is a real pain to set up.

My 0% offer had just run out, and I had transferred my balance (most of it anyway) to a 0% Virgin card. However, this card is still the lowest APR card in my wallet at the moment, and I love it.

I highly recommend the Amazon credit card to anyone.
