Now that reward cards are all the rage, there is another newbie on the block and that is the direct rewards card. A direct reward is something that you get directly. I know that sounds a little stupid but it’s best to be perfectly clear on this. The best type of direct reward card at the moment has to be any card that has the Barclaycard freedom reward system in place…
This reward system allows you to accumulate cash onto your card as a credit and then redeem your spending rewards at any shop that participates. It is pretty much a guarantee that all major stores will be participating in the scheme in the near future, much the same as the way contactless technology has been introduced. Barlclaycard were also among the first to use contactless technology too, so it’s clear to see that this major credit card company is ready for the next step on the evolutionary credit card ladder, even before the world is.
Watch out for the Barclaycard Freedom reward system on your Barclaycard in the near future. And if you’re about to apply for a credit card then Barclaycard is definately one that you need to put on your list; granted, you need a huge income for one of these cards, but if you’ve got it then use it folks, the rewards speak for themselves.
