Google Credit Card Comparison Service
Google is testing a credit card comparison service… but if you want to try it you’ll have to be really lucky. Oh, and in the UK too.
Last October Google launched a new form of ad that lets users compare prices on products. Essentially Google Product Search but for financial services and with more options for choosing your perfect product, it only worked with US mortgages. Now Comparison Ads are being tested again, this time in the UK for credit cards. Once again though, you’ll only get to try it if you get lucky when you search for credit card related keywords.
Users searching for credit cards see an ad (if they’re lucky) prompting them to click through to to a chart comparing prices from a number of providers. After entering a few basic facts like age and household income they can choose the best price.
While there are a lot of price comparison services out there already, Google’s take on the idea will certainly be worth a look. When Comparison Ads were launched Google touted them as simpler, clearer and more respectful of users privacy than its competitors. Money is made by Google charging advertisers if users click on the ‘More information’ button or call the special phone number listed.
Although Google undoubtedly needs to test new services before it rolls them out fully (especially when they relate to its core business – advertising) it’s a little frustrating that whether or not you get to try out the service is entirely down to chance.
If the tests are a success Google will most likely roll the service out further – possibly for a wider variety of products. We’d like to see it become a part of the Product Search service. For now, those of you in the UK looking for a new credit card will just have to cross your fingers if you want to give it a go. The rest of us will just have to wait…

As a result of the CARD Act reforms that went into effect on February 22, credit card companies are projected to incur $12 billion in annual losses. But we all know that credit card companies are far too imaginative to let this happen. The reforms require the credit card companies to give you 45 days notice before rate increases, and those increases cannot be applied to existing debt unless you miss payments for 60 days. In addition, there have been new restrictions placed on how they can market to college students under 21 years old. This all translates to nothing more than a bump in the road for card companies. Old methods of revenue generation will be replace by new ones in the form of lots of fee
