UK consumers are missing out on potential financial rewards - such as cashback, retail vouchers or frequent flyer points - to the tune of a staggering 3.6 billion per annum, according to research by American Express. By using other payment methods almost two-thirds (63 per cent) of consumers are failing to take advantage of over a hundred pounds worth of rewards and benefits they could be earning by paying for their everyday spending on a rewards credit card.
At a time when families across the UK are having to tighten purse-strings, American Express is urging consumers to ditch their 'Passive Plastic' and get more from their spending by earning rewards from their day-to-day spending as well as bigger ticket items.
Currently, 78 per cent of those holding a rewards credit card are using their points at least once a year, with 42 per cent of respondents stating that they are more likely to use their points now than a year ago. On average, rewards cardholders believe they benefit around 116 a year from using their points, with their favourite rewards listed as retail vouchers (36 per cent), cashback (34 per cent) and complementary flights (13 per cent).
