British informal term for a 'rate tart' -- someone who habitually moves their credit card balance between providers to exploit introductory 0% interest offers before the rate rises. The behavior is financially savvy but viewed by lenders as gaming the system. The 'tart' element suggests fickleness and promiscuity in financial relationships, with lenders cast as wronged or taken advantage of parties.
She was a committed card tart and hadn't paid credit card interest in four years.
