Compare Asda Money credit cards

Asda credit cards are provided by Creation Financial Services, part of the BNP Paribas global banking group. The cards are issued on the Mastercard network, meaning they can be used at more than 35 million outlets worldwide.

Asda’s straightforward range of cards is rewards-focused, but take note that Asda’s definition of “cashback” is a little misleading; rewards are actually paid in the form of vouchers to be spent in Asda stores.

As the third-largest supermarket group in the UK, Asda is a familiar name. It’s stores are visited by tens of millions of shoppers every week, but Asda is less well-known for its popular range of credit cards that come with cashback rewards when used in-store.

As you’d expect, the earn-rate on Asda cards is better when you’re using your card in-store, but you can still earn when you use your card elsewhere. You can choose a card with no monthly fee or, for a small charge, one which offers a higher rate of cashback rewards for every pound spent. You can quickly estimate how much you’d earn using Asda’s cashback calculator.

Is the cashback worth it?

Whether or not an Asda credit card is right for you is likely to come down to how you would use the card. You’ll want to weigh up the potential costs (like interest on an outstanding balance and a regular fee, if there is one) with the amount you could earn in cashback.

You can get an instant decision on an application for any of Asda Money’s three credit cards, all of which reward you while you spend (especially if you spend at Asda, unsurprisingly).

• Rewards cards

  Asda’s Reward credit cards give you cashback on all your spending, and you earn this at a higher rate for purchases at Asda stores than any made elsewhere. For a small monthly fee, its Cashback Plus card doubles the amount of rewards earned on each purchase.

Applying for an Asda credit card

You can apply for an Asda credit card online or by phone. Asda’s site allows would-be applicants to request a ‘soft search’ to find out their likelihood of being accepted for their chosen card, without affecting their credit score.

Eligibility

To be considered for an Asda credit card, you’ll need to meet the following eligibility criteria:

• UK resident.
• Over 18.
• You must provide a mobile or home telephone number.
• You must hold a good credit rating without a history of County Court Judgment or bankruptcy.
• You must hold a UK-based bank or building society account.
• You must ensure that you can meet the repayments as missed payments incur a charge and could have severe consequences on your ability to obtain future credit.

The good news is that Asda states “Students or retired applicants are welcome”.

Why might you not be approved?

Generally, if you meet the eligibility requirements, but have a history of bad debt, including CCJs, IVAs or bankruptcies, your application may be rejected.
