Things to consider
When it comes to opening or switching credit cards, it's not always about getting the lowest interest. Here are some things to consider.
- Rules
There are risks associated with credit cards so, follow these rules to avoid undesirable outcomes:
- • Accidental damage cover
- • Personal possessions cover
- • Personal accident cover
- • Legal protection
- Interest
Most providers give up to 56 days of interest-free credit on purchases.
This means that you can use a credit card with no interest if you always pay on time. After this, you will be charged the agreed rate.
- Potential future consequences
If you consistently miss repayments on your credit card, you may have trouble securing a mortgage down the line.
Mortgage lenders will see missed payments as:
- • A sign of bad money management
- • Insufficient funds to pay a mortgage
- Credit card rewards
Some credit cards have rewards or points associated with usage that can be redeemed for various things like airline miles and more.
You can check what’s available in the description of the card when comparing options.

Cooling off period
You can cancel your policy within 14 days of purchasing without penalty.
This is known as the cooling off period. Check your policy's terms and conditions for information on potential fees.
