This article ranks all of the UK loyalty cards by the value of their sign-up bonus – helpful if you are looking for a quick churn.  (Ignore the comments on Lufthansa and United as these promotions have now finished and the bonuses are now lower.)

This article, on the other hand, ranks all of the cards in terms of their value for long-term spending – helpful if you are looking for card to have as a ‘keeper’.

This article discusses which credit cards are best for spending overseas.

This article discussed how many credit cards one person can have.

And finally, this article shows you what you can do with American Express Membership Rewards points.
