As Christmas approaches, many of us in the UK will be considering taking out a new credit card to purchases those all essential gifts.


As people's circumstances vary so do the credit card deals on offer.


If you intend to clear your bill each month, the interest rate on your card becomes irrelevant as you won't have to pay it.


These cards are particularly useful for those don't clear their balance each month.


Shop around for cards that offer 0% interest on balance transfers and purchases.


One way to save money on your card debt is to take advantage of the many debt-transfer offers available from most banks.


This is especially handy if the goods either arrive faulty/damaged or don't arrive at all due to the supplier, for example, going bust.


Most cards will levvy a charge against you if you fail to pay your monthly repayment on time, with penalties usually around £20.


You will also incurr a charge if you go over your set credit limit.


If, for example, you intend to do some serious short-term shopping, a card that offers, say six month interest free on purchases, would be more suitable.


If you are able to clear your balance each month, then going for a card that offers rewards, such as cashback on purchases, would be most prudent.
