For Tougher Financial Times – The MBNA Platinum Visa Credit Card

Making savings in tougher times can be difficult, as you need to find non-essentials and get rid of them.

But this is a common situation faced by many of us across the UK and one that we must tackle full on if our budgets are going to remain intact. When searching for monthly cost savings, one area seldom looked at is the best credit card deals that may be available and finding better ones to replace them.

You could be forgiven for not thinking about credit cards as a way to save money, especially because of the lack of competition in the market over the last two years. However, one lender has always provided its customers with impressive promotions and products and that lender is MBNA.
