BOQ, as mentioned, provides three kinds of credit cards, which include a low rate card, a rewards card and a platinum card. If you plan to keep balances rolling in your account from one month to the next, getting the low rate card might be a good idea. If not, you can consider getting the rewards or platinum card. Details of what you can expect are as follows:
