Amazon Price Comparison

The Daily Mail has a list of various products that are cheaper elsewhere than on Amazon, and point out that retail giant paid less than £1 million corporation tax on revenues of £4.5 billion.
In 2010, it didn’t pay a anything on UK sales totalling £3.3 billion.

Unfortuantely at the end of the article it lists various 'cashback' credit cards, with links to them. They say "Clever Christmas shoppers can earn hundreds of pounds a year by ditching their debit card in favour of a cashback credit card. "

Oh really, and since when were credit cards in the business of giving away money! Clearly this is just a marketing tactic to get people into debt and know that although some will get cashback many others will be giving plenty of their cash in interest payments! The real clever Christmas shoppers will use a debit card and only spend what they have, and not owe a penny after Christmas.
