LONDON, July 26, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

Following the announcement by Barclaycard that they are offering new customers a half-price reduction on balance transfer fees, consumers are expected to flock to comparethemarket.com, one of the UK's leading comparison websites, for a quick and easy way to compare the cards on offer and take advantage of the deal.

Known for having some of the UK's best 0% balance transfer deals, Barclaycard normally charges customers transfer fees for switching to one of its 0% balance transfer credit cards. However, for a limited time only, new customers will receive half the fee back when they take up a Barclaycard balance transfer product.^[1]

With a number of credit cards included in the offer, potential customers still need to carefully consider which card is right for their individual needs. However, comparethemarket.com offers a simple way to compare the different products. Visitors to the site are able to take advantage of advanced filters which will allow them to view only Barclaycard credit cards. They will be able to view the cards on offer in an easy-to-read table which displays all the important information needed to make a decision. The table will even show at a glance how much money can be saved by switching.

Rob Saunders, Senior Manager Money at comparethemarket.com, said: "Barclaycard's summer offer could be a great choice for some consumers. At comparethemarket.com, we're pleased to be able to offer a quick and easy-to-use service to help customers make an informed decision on the right card for their needs."
