February 2003 A
new relationship - it's on the cards…
This Valentine's
Day the Vegetarian Society is celebrating a brand new relationship.
We
are delighted to announce the new Vegetarian
Society Visa credit card in association with The Co-operative Bank.
A credit card can't
buy you love but with a choice of competitive interest rates, The Vegetarian
Society credit card is a great way to contribute to our vital educational
work. Sir Paul McCartney himself recommends the new card saying it's "a
great way to support my favourite cause."
With no annual fee
and a choice of Fixed Rate Platinum (9.8% APR until January 2008 and
up to 46 days interest free credit), Advantage Platinum (0% APR for
the first
6 months reverting to 12.3%APR variable, and 59 days interest free credit)
or Standard (5.9% on balance transfers, APR reverts to 17.9% after
6 months),
new card-holders will get a great deal for themselves whilst enjoying
the knowledge that for each account opened, The Co-operative Bank will
donate £5 to the Vegetarian Society. The Society will also receive
a further £10 if the card is used within the first 6 months and
25p for every £100 transferred to or spent using the card.
To apply for the
new Vegetarian Society Visa Card and get an instant decision phone 0800
002 006.
