I stumbled upon this. I found it curious that I've not heard of this anywhere on these forums in my time here. I could just be blind.

Could it be a foreign CC only? Has "Ireland" in the URL.

 

 

ETA....foiled again by slow typing skills.

Oh, I didn't even notice the ireland aspect. I did find it curious on the application itself, it's not a typical website application that I'm used to.

Looks interesting too bad its for Ireland or at least UK only. I like the idea of a no AF charge card, but when I do the math my usage of pattern for Zync easily pays for its low AF anyway. 

 

 

Wallet: FNBO DISC 7.5k, , Chase Freedom 3k & Slate 3k, AMEX BCP 7.5k & AMEX Hilton Surpass 5.5k & Zync NPSL, Walmart 3.3k, CapOne AU 1.5k
Sockdrawer: Paypal Extras MC 3.2k, CapOne 2k, CapOne 750, Amazon 3.9k, Sams Club store 4.8k, and a nice stack of store cards.
