The St.George Vertigo Rainbow Credit Card
St.George has come out with a limited colourful rainbow design edition so you can show your support for the LGBTQI community. This has similar features to the Vertigo everyday card but in a colorful design with a purpose.
What we love...
St.George Vertigo Rainbow Credit Card is a no-frills credit card loaded with money-saving features. This has a low ongoing rate of 13.99% p.a. on purchases. And currently, it offers 0% p.a. interest on purchases for the first 6 months. This introductory offer is available to newly approved applications until 24 February 2022 and after the 6-month offer period, the rate will revert to the variable purchase rate.
You will also enjoy 55 interest-free days on purchases when you clear your monthly payment balance on time and in full per statement.
Additionally, this card offers the longest promotional balance transfer offer in the market of 0% p.a. for the first 32 months, with no balance transfer fee. After the offer period ends, the variable cash advance rate applies.
Another money saving feature that is offered for a limited time is the $0 annual fee for the first year. This reverts to an affordable ongoing annual fee of $55. Plus, add an extra card holder without any fees.
What’s not so great...
The cons of this card relate to the balance transfer offer. You may only be able to transfer up to 80% of your approved credit limit, and you cannot transfer balances from other St.George, BankSA or Bank of Melbourne cards. Plus, make sure to clear your balances before the promotional period ends as the rate reverts to a heaping 21.49% p.a. variable cash advance rate.
Why should you choose this card?
St.George Vertigo Rainbow Credit Card highlights the support of inclusiveness while enjoying the card’s enticing features. Aside from the promotional offers, this also provides a low minimum credit limit, 24/7 Fraud monitoring, secure online shopping and compatibility with Apple Pay, Google Pay and Samsung Pay.
In terms of tech, cardholders can also benefit from card block and quick balance, allowing them to block their card for up to 15 days when they misplace it, and check the balance of up to two accounts at a glance on the St.George mobile banking app, without having to log in.
Overall Rating
A low cost card that acts as a real money-saver, providing 0% p.a. on balance transfers for 32 months, 0% p.a. interest on purchases for the first 6 months, and no annual fee for the first year ($55 thereafter). Getting this card is another way to show your support to the LGBTQI community.
