What is Perks?
In short
The extras a card includes, from lounge access to purchase protection and card blocking.
Perks are the extras a card carries on top of payments, and they matter most when you would otherwise pay for the same cover separately. The strongest ones protect the money and the purchase: Absa Seychelles offers card blocking within 30 minutes, emergency replacement and cash, plus GCAS emergency services, while Absa Bank Mauritius includes airport lounge access and travel insurance. Access Bank Cards adds an interest free period of up to 40 days and Verified By Visa additional security for online transactions. On ABN AMRO NL Zakelijk the list is long, including purchase protection, delivery and internet guarantee, 24/7 fraud prevention and deposit guarantee on ICS credit card balances. Read the list against what you actually use, since many perks are worthless if the card sits in a drawer.
