APR

The Annual Percentage Rate (APR) is a rate that shows you how much you’ll pay back in interest over a year. The APR figure includes any annual fee you have to pay for taking out the card.

Balance transfer

You could transfer some or all of the money you owe other lenders onto one credit card – this could be easier to manage and help save on interest.

Credit rating

It’s a score of how eligible you might be to borrow money – it’s calculated based on the information in your credit report, such as how well you’ve made repayments in the past.

Important information

1. You’ll collect Avios on new purchases, but not on balance transfers, money transfers and transactions that make up your cash balance. These include cash withdrawals, wire transfers and buying currency. You won’t collect Avios for any transactions that are later returned or refunded. You also need to keep to the terms and conditions of your account and stay within your credit limit. You can find out more about collecting and spending Avios, including which purchases are eligible.
