London, UK - November 26, 1999 - Whether shopping from the comfort of your home or braving the high street, the Yahoo! Visa credit card will make it even easier to buy gifts this Christmas. Yahoo! UK & Ireland announced today that, starting December 6th, people can apply for the new Yahoo!

"Yahoo!'s goal is to continue to offer a broad and valuable range of services to our millions of consumers and to expand the Yahoo! brand on and off the Web. The Yahoo! Visa card is a great way for people to manage all of their online and offline gift purchases, and was specifically designed to give our users a simple and direct way to buy anywhere at any time," said Martina King, Managing Director, Yahoo! UK & Ireland. The new card also features a safe shopping guarantee which covers cardholders against any fraudulent transactions carried out without their knowledge or consent - online or offline. Cardholders have exactly the same rights when they are shopping on the Internet as they do when they are buying from a shop, by mail order or over the phone. Yahoo!
