TUI launches Thomson Credit Card
TUI UK & Ireland has launched a Thomson Credit Card to help customers pay for their holidays.
The card, which launches this week with a headline APR of 19.9%, was developed in partnership with credit card specialist NewDay.
A loyalty scheme gives user 1 point per £1 for any spend with Thomson or First Choice, and 1 point per £2 for any spend with any other retailers signed up to the scheme.
Points earned convert into savings on the overall cost of the holiday.
The scheme, which is purely online, launches with a promotional offer of 0% interest for three months on all spend.
Helen Caron, director for distribution and cruise at TUI UK and Ireland, said: "We’ve taken the time to really understand what would work for our customers. We think what we’ve come up with is really compelling; there are lots of fantastic benefits, which will give our customers great savings on their dream holiday."
