American Express

I went for the rewards card after comparing it with two other options, and the points on everyday spending add up faster than I thought they would. I use it for the weekly shop and petrol, so the rewards start to feel like real money off my bills.

I needed a card for my freelance work so I could keep business spending separate from my personal account. I've worked in finance for a while so I know what to look for, and the expense categories and monthly statements are clear enough to hand straight to my accountant at year end.

Honestly the claim was done in like three days which I did not expect. Uploaded a photo of the receipt on the app and got a text saying it was approved, money landed the next morning. Only thing was the chat support took ages to reply when I had a question about the excess.

I needed a separate card for the consultancy work I took on after retiring from the council, so that my accounts stayed tidy. The application was handled promptly and the card came through without any fuss. Customer service answered my queries about expenses reporting clearly.

I've had the platinum card for a good few years now and the metal finish still looks smart after all this time. The one thing I'd flag is the annual fee, which is higher than I'd like, though the perks are there to justify it if you use them. Still, I've stuck with it.

Compared to my last card this one is way better for the stuff I buy online, the notifications come through instantly so I always know when something's gone through. Not much else to say, it just works.

This is the card I'd tell anyone to get if they travel a lot, the fees abroad are tiny compared with what I was paying before. I know my way around cards pretty well and this one just does the job without any nonsense.

When I signed up I compared it against my bank's own credit card, and this one has way better rewards on the stuff I actually buy. The sign up took a while because I had to upload my ID twice, which was annoying, but I'd still pick this one again.

Compared to the card I had with my high street bank for years, this one is far more useful for travel. The foreign spending fees are lower and the customer line picked up within a couple of minutes when I rang from abroad. I've been a customer a long while now and I'm still happy with the choice.

The card itself turned up within a few days and looked just like the picture, which was nice. What got on my nerves was trying to link it to my app, it kept timing out and I had to start again twice before it finally worked. Once it's set up I've got no real complaints, but that first bit took longer than it should have.

I needed a card that could be set up for my son, who is starting university, so I could keep an eye on his spending without tying him to my own account. The setup was straightforward enough, though the form asked for a few details twice which was a little tiresome. Once it was live the limits were easy to adjust.

I did a fair bit of research before choosing this one, comparing the travel perks and the fees against three other cards my brother recommended. The travel insurance on this card covered a cancelled flight last spring without much fuss, and the claim paperwork was clearer than I'd feared.

This is the card I now take on every trip abroad, and the travel protection cover has been a real comfort to me. I found the staff courteous and the instructions for using the card abroad were clear and sensible, so I've no complaints at all.

The instant alerts are the best bit, I get a ping the second I tap my card anywhere so I can spot dodgy stuff straight away. Also the app looks really nice and I can split bills with my flatmates, honestly it's made money stuff way less of a headache for me.

It's a perfectly good card for the most part, but the charges for spending abroad are higher than I'd like. I was caught out a bit when I got back and saw what I'd been charged, and the statement didn't make the breakdown as clear as I'd have liked. Works well at home though.

Honestly it's the best card I've had, and I've had a fair few over the years. I compared it with two other cards before deciding and the perks on this one beat the rest for what I spend on travel, so I'm glad I went with it.

We needed somewhere to keep the money we'd been putting aside for our trip to Italy, and my husband suggested we look at the savings account with them. The sign up was straightforward enough, though I did have to dig out a few old documents for the identity check, which took a while. Once it was open, moving money across from our current account was simple and the balance shows up clearly in the app.

Signing up took me about ten minutes on my phone, which I didn't expect from a card company. The app asked for a few photos of ID and I was approved the same afternoon. Card arrived in a few days and the limit was what I asked for.

Compared with a couple of other cards I looked at, this one is noticeably pricier once you factor in the annual fee and the cost of using it abroad. The card works fine and the app is decent, but I'd have expected the fees to be a bit more competitive for what you pay.

Got the green card in the summer and I've been using it for everything since, mostly for bills and the odd meal out. The rewards points build up quicker than I thought and the app shows you exactly where they are.
