Manchester United fans across the UK are able to apply for the
new credit card, which now offers 16 months at zero per cent on
balance transfers*, three months at zero per cent on purchases*,
and a range of "money can't buy" prizes and discounts simply by
spending.
As an extra incentive, fans successfully applying for the new
credit card and spending on their card before 2 November 2012 will enter a prize draw for the
chance to watch a first team training session at Carrington. New

fans across the UK.
"Over the years, we have forged a strong relationship with
Manchester United Football Club, and we are continuing to work
together to develop products that offer supporters a fantastic
deal, whilst contributing to the future of the club."
The card offers a range of other benefits. For every £50 they
spend on the card, cardholders will be entered into a monthly prize
draw offering them the chance to win signed Manchester United
shirts and pennants as well as limited edition action prints of
members of the first team.
Simply by using the Manchester United Credit Card, fans can also
benefit from a range of club discounts, including ten per cent off

the club's online Megastore, plus 20 per cent off

Manchester United's commercial director, Richard Arnold, added: "This is the only credit
card of its kind available to our UK fans and it's great to be able
to offer them some truly unique prizes, like watching the first
team train at Carrington, as well as a great product. Our
partnership with MBNA and the Manchester United Credit Card enables
us to offer something special to the people who back our club week
in, week out."

United in the UK is one of MBNA's most successful sports credit
