As a charity company, the Breakthrough Breast Cancer is changing the way people help to fight breast cancer in the United Kingdom. They are a pioneer charity that aids in saving lives and changing futures through better research, more effective campaigning, and more thorough education. This particular credit card product has helped to raise over £1.3 million and is still growing! Truly, this is a humanitarian way to utilize your responsible credit.
While many companies offer direct rewards and incentives to you, as a customer, this card substitutes some of your benefits with charitable gifts to the founding organization. When you take out a Breakthrough Breast Cancer credit card, for instance, your card use will contribute £7.50 as soon as you use your card in the first 90 days. For every year that you use the card, Breakthrough Breast Cancer will receive another £2.
Now, they haven't forgotten about you. As a generous card holder, your substituted donations will not go unrewarded because this card also offers some remarkable credit benefits. For instance, you might appreciate an introductory interest rate that could be as low as 0% on all balance and account transfers for the first 12 months. You may also be able to apply this rate to your standard card purchases for the first 3 months! Even the reverted variable rate is reasonable.
Finally, because this card is from the folks at MBNA Europe Bank Limited, you will be able to enjoy the same comprehensive benefits that they offer to all of their credit card holders. For instance, paperless statements allow you to set up and monitor your account online and help the environment at the same time. This card also has no annual fee as well as a 50-day grace period to pay off your balance in full before interest begins to accrue.
