- New market-leading credit card offers 40 months interest-free for balance and money transfers
- Card available with exclusive Sex Pistols designs for 40 days, celebrating 40 years since punk music rose to fame
Virgin Money has relaunched its popular 40 month credit card, available for 40 days until 24 May 2016, marking the 40 years since punk music emerged from the underground into the mainstream in 1976.
The new market-leading credit card offers:
- 40 months 0% interest on balance transfers, with a one-off transfer fee of 2.59%
- 40 months 0% interest on money transfers, with a one-off transfer fee of 4.00%
- 3 months 0% interest on purchases
All introductory rates apply to balance and money transfers made within the first 60 days of account opening.
Customers can choose from a range of card designs, including the iconic Sex Pistols artwork from the period.
Chris Taylor, Director of Credit Card Products at Virgin Money, said: “We’re delighted to bring back our 40 month card as it offers customers fantastic value for money. Our Sex Pistols designs have proven to be extremely popular and in the 40th year of Punk, it seemed only fitting to make the offer available for 40 days.”
Unlike most credit card providers in the UK, Virgin Money ensures that all successful applicants receive the promotional rate and duration they apply for. Virgin Money does not offer shorter balance transfer periods or higher interest rates to customers after reviewing their application.
All Virgin Money credit card customers have access to Virgin Money Lounges together with a range of exclusive offers from the Virgin Group, including discounts on a range of Virgin products such as holidays and train tickets.
