Mint-ify your cards

Have you heard of the Mint Credit Card? Well, you're really missing out, if you don't have one yet. The Mint credit card was launched in the UK in 2003 in two versions; a standard credit card and a MC2 card that had the bottom right hand corner of the card removed, the first change of shape of credit cards in 37 years. Mint credit cards have 0% interest on balance transfers and purchases till December, a really great offer if your credit card debt is piling up. The Mint Gift Card was launched in 2006 and is a pre-paid credit card that you can give someone. It is different from a regular gift card, since it is not bound to a specific retailer and can be used any where. This is one of the best aspects of a gift card, since the bulk of retailer specific gift cards never get used and are either wasted or sold for a lower percentage on the Internet.
