Credit card customers should be prepared to shop around for the best card deals this month, just as they would for anything else in the January sales. 
According to Sainsbury’s Bank, credit card users need to take the new start offered by the New Year to review their finances and make sure they are getting the best deal.
“Look around and see whether there are better deals than what you’re currently getting from your provider and that may well offer you an opportunity to reassess your costs,” urged head of cards Donald MacLeod.
He urged customers to pay off more than the monthly minimum amount on their cards in order to avoid going further into debt.
Figures released by UK payments association Apacs last month suggested that 64.3 per cent of the £53 billion spent in the run up to Christmas would be put onto credit cards, with the amounts put onto plastic accelerating in the last few days.
