Often the 'partners' that card companies use are expensive and therefore 
in real terms you gain nothing from all the points you collect. Why 
exchange points for Dixons, M&S, Boots vouchers , etc. when you can 
obtain the same goods they sell for 20 percent less elsewhere? Vouchers 
for expensive high street chains are worth nothing!

I too am looking for another credit card being p****d off with Goldfish 
recently. As I usually pay off the outstanding amount every month the 
interest on the debt is of little importance to me. I too want the card 
with the best cash return and I need to be able to manage the account 
on-line..
