The all-new Virgin Money Low Rate Card pushes all the right buttons for a low rate credit card - a hot ongoing purchase rate of 11.99% p.a., a 0% p.a. balance transfer rate for 15 months (1% BT fee applies) and up to 55 days interest free.
With some credit cards charging 20% p.a. interest you can save a bundle by switching to the Virgin Money Low Rate Card. It has an ongoing 11.99% p.a. purchase rate which is one of the lower credit card interest rates in the market. Pay off your balance in full each month and you'll enjoy up to 55 days interest free.
The balance transfer offer of 0% for 15 months gives you a manageable time frame to pay off debt and save on interest. Be disciplined about those repayments so you pay back most of the debt in the interest free period, as any outstanding balance will be charged at the high cash advance rate of 21.69% once the balance transfer offer ends.
Virgin Money are also giving loyal cardholders the chance to have the annual $99 fee waived over the long term. The annual fee will be waived for cardholders from their second anniversary when they spend at least $10,000 over the previous 12 months (on eligible purchases).
This card could be good for both big and small spenders - particularly those who are looking to save on interest with the relatively low purchase rate, or anyone who can take advantage of the long balance transfer offer.
Just watch out for that high 21.69% p.a. cash advance rate which will be applied to any debt which still hasn't been paid off after 15 months following a balance transfer.

Customer service is top with Virgin even though they seem to have offshore call centres. When I’ve had unauthorised use of my card they have taken immediate action and rectified it twice. I feel secure using my card with purchases.

Great for Velocity points, we pay our balance every month so unsure of interest rate for the card. High annual fee.
