If you are a fan of showing support there are a great many cards that may interest you, but if you have a specific support option you are looking for there is generally only one card in all those others that is right for you. In this article we are going to review the MBNA Claire GAA credit card. It is a card that offers contributions to Clare GAA to help support your local county development. The truth is this support comes at no cost to you when you use the card wisely.
You see MBNA is going to make the contribution when you make a purchase. This contribution is no cost to you, especially if you buy things that you need around the home or pay your bills with the card. As long as you pay the card off on time and in full every month you will not pay interest on the balance. So when you make a purchase it really is no cost to you, but to MBNA. While the contribution is a little on the small side, with more cards out there it can make a difference that is if you want to support progress in Clare.
Going along with the interest comment above you can have 58 days of interest free on card purchases when you pay the statement balance in full and on time each month, even if you haven’t in the past. Basically when you start paying the full balance for a period of three to six months without slipping and leaving a small balance you get this extra perk.
The annual percentage rate is 16.9 percent. This is about average for the cards on the market at the moment. It is up to you to decide if this is right for you. Remember our statement above. If you pay the balance offer you won’t be charged. This is really how to make the contributions pay off for you.
You can also use the card for balance transfers. There is an introductory rate of 1.9 percent APR for six months, from the date the account was opened. If you can pay off the balance in that period and don’t make any purchases you could be free of debt.
The options are up to you and certainly there are better out there with zero percent interest for 12 months from other companies, but they don’t offer the contributions to Clare. You also have 127,000 Euros for Travel Accident Insurance that is free of charge to you. There is security protection and online account management.
While the online account management and 58 days of free interest can be the same on other cards, remember it is all about the perks of this card. Not every card or any other card offers savings for Clare County. They also don’t offer travel accident insurance for free. While there are some cards like that out there, this is very specific and for the specific consumer. It doesn’t work for everyone.
