    Hi Folks,

    Looking into getting a credit card as need it for holidays or big purchases for insurance purposes. Would always be just using for a specific purchase that I had cash to get and then pay off without incurring interest.

    So was just going to get a PTSB card as that's who I bank with bit got thinkin about reward type cards.

    So the two I was looking at was pigsback and Ryanair. Anyone have either? Ryanair you build flight points with but I'd be taking any Ryanair offer with a pinch of salt so will need to go through the t&cs with a fine tooth comb.

    I don't us we pigsback but I do use groupon and the like, seem s the same gig? Get pig points as you use your card and then can use them to get cheaper stuff off pigsback.

    So anyone have any opinions or indeed use a diff type of reward cc? Pigsback card comes with free travel insurance so its currently the front runner.

    Cheers

    PiggyPoints are worthless. Utterly utterly worthless. If you want travel insurance many credit cards have that.

    Tesco is the only reward card as such in Ireland with any useful payback really.

    I didn't think that Pigsback did a credit card anymore? I had one back in the day when they were practically giving away piggy points for anything, but they got rid of it and my card reverted to MBNA (now Avant).
    I do have a Tesco one & the extra points that you get from using that one are good. The only issue that I have with the Tesco card is there is no option to view transactions etc online, you have to call their phone line and you will get all of your information.

    Moved to Banking & Insurance & Pensions, as this is a financial matter, not a Consumer Issue.

    You can link the Tesco credit card to your Tesco clubcard and you can see the purchases made on the card through that view. You don't get all the features of an online banking solution, but at least you can see transactions.

    Tesco is the only one really worth giving any consideration. Don't know anything about Ryanair but don't touch Pigsback because all they do is piggyback off other companies ideas and rewards are a joke at this stage.
