    My current credit card with AIB is expiring next month. It a Mastercard.

    I got this 3 years ago when in college hence I still have student rates :D even though I finish college 3 years ago!!

    But anyways - what happens now? Will AIB send me out a new card with higher rates? Do I have to approach them about getting a new card etc?

    Will they not just re-issue the card with a new expiry date??

    They send a new one about 2/3 weeks before the old one expires...

    I presume it will be another mastercard then?

    Should be unless they've communicated otherwise to you :)

    If you are comfortable using Internet Banking, you can apply online for their Click card. It has the best rates (8.5% I believe), almost half of what you are on at the moment.

    If you don't apply for a specific card, I imagine they would send you out their standard card (the "Be" card) which has a similar rate to what you are currently on.

    See more here and here.

    You should switch to one of their better cards so.

    So Click seems to be the best sure - but how come not everybody goes with the lowest interest rate card?? If someone had a choice why pick any of the others??? :confused:
