Editor’s Overall Rating
The Latitude Low Rate Mastercard – Purchase Offer is made for anyone planning bigger expenses in the near future. With 0% interest on purchases for the first 9 months, then 13.99% p.a. ongoing, it’s a practical way to spread out costs without being hit by interest right away.
Editor’s Review: What I love about this card
This card’s superpower is its introductory 0% purchase rate. Whether it’s a laptop, a home appliance, or a few months of higher spending, the 9-month interest-free window gives you room to pay things off without pressure. Once that period ends, the rate reverts to 13.99% p.a., which is still competitive compared to many mainstream cards that hover around 20% or more. This makes the card flexible — a short-term money saver that’s still affordable long-term.
Like the No Annual Fee version, the Purchase Offer also gives you 3% back on eligible recurring bills, so regular payments like streaming subscriptions and utilities continue to add value. Free E-Commerce Purchase Protection helps online shoppers feel secure, while wallet compatibility and the option to add another cardholder at no cost make it easy to share or manage across a household.
What’s not so great
The trade-off here is the annual fee. At $69 each year, you’re paying for access to the 0% intro deal, and there’s no waiver or offset in the first year. Once the 9 months of interest-free spending end, the card is really about whether you value the competitive ongoing rate enough to justify the ongoing fee. Rewards are also narrow — only recurring bills count, so if you want a rewards card for everyday purchases, this isn’t it. And as with the No Fee card, there are no travel perks or comprehensive insurances included.
Other extras
Applications take just a few minutes, with most customers receiving a quick decision. You can start using your card instantly via digital wallets once approved. Overall, this card suits anyone looking to make purchases upfront and pay them off gradually, with a buffer of 9 months interest-free — provided you’re comfortable with the ongoing annual fee afterward.
