LONDON - With the Bhs MasterCard, Shopping has Never Been so Rewarding!
The Bhs MasterCard is nearly a year old and has already been proven to be the most rewarding credit card available on the High Street, with a higher ‘earn rate’ than that of its retail competitors. Offering 5 points for every GBP1 spent in store and 1 point for every GBP1 spent elsewhere, it’s unrivalled.
With no annual fee, the card pays back customers a GBP5 Bhs voucher for every 500 points earned. The first purchase in a Bhs store earns double points to speed up the rewards, so if a customer spends GBP50 on their first Bhs shop, they will receive a GBP5 voucher in their next reward statement. Cardholders are treated as Bhs ‘VIP’s’ with exclusive invitations to discounted events and various offers in store and on-line.
Applications can be made either in store or online, where an instant approval decision is given. When applications are approved in store, the applicant is given GBP50 instant credit which enables them to purchase in store straightaway.
Note to Editors
The card also offers:
- 0% for 9 months on balance transfers (2.99% fee applies) - 0% for 6 months on Bhs purchases - 0% for 3 months on purchases made elsewhere
The APR remains competitive at just 18.9% typical variable.
