Anyone else got the email to inform them their credit card is moving from Mastercard to Visa? I have a Clarity credit card as I get free foreign transactions, which I thought was just a mastercard thing. It doesnt really say if this will still apply when switching to Visa, and even Halifax helpdesk werent sure when I spoke…

What can I do with this card?
I recently got a Barclaycard 0% balance transfer card, purely to take advantage of the offer of 12 months Apple TV. But I don't actually have any balances to transfer. My only borrowings at the moment are a residential mortgage and two buy-to-let mortgages. I looked in the Barclaycard app, under interest rates, and it…

Lloyds Cashback Creditcard 1% cashback ending (for me)
Hi folks, Did a search but couldn't spot previous discussion on this which is surprising as it must have been discussed and I probably just can't find it. Anyway Lloyds have just e-mailed to say that my 1% cashback is ending on my creditcard in a month. Obviously it was a 1 year offer to attract people, so looks like I may…

Section 75 claim - solar installation damage
Hi all, Back last December I had a solar panel install from a national company. All Seemed OK until early January when there were heavy rain storms. I was sitting in my lounge when I noticed water running down a corner wall. On inspection of the loft, I noticed that a lug bolt from the panel rails had clearly gone in…

Is it worth keeping second credit card?
I have two credit cards. I only use one (for the protection offered). It has a small balance. A new card has just arrived for the second card which I keep for "emergency use" if on holiday abroad. Is there any point in keeping the second one? Thanks for any answers

Why can’t credit card apps simply show “Statement paid in full ✓”?
Am I the only one who finds credit card apps/websites confusing about whether you've actually paid the statement in full? If you make several payments during the month, rather than one single payment to clear it all, the statement balance can be fully paid, but new spending can leave the account showing a balance again…

Barclaycard offer question
Barclaycard normally give me a 0% BT however this month have not they have given me a 5.9% offer until October 2028 with a zero fee. Does anyone know if that 5.9% is total for the two years. It reads as if it is but just wanted to check in case I needed to use at some point.

Can't get any offers with soft checks
I used several eligibility checkers but they all came up with no offers not even for credit builder cards. Depending on what website I use, my credit score is in the 700s or 800s although some of them failed to verify identity. My salary is zero because I'm unemployed and living off substantial savings, is this likely to…

Keep old AMEX open or close it down?
I just applied for and was accepted for an AMEX Gold card. I have an AMEX BA card which I have had since 2017. It's actually currently my oldest running card. But as I rarely fly BA / use Avios anymore, I have no need for it. My question is should I keep the BA Amex open just for the tenure of the card. Or just close it…

£10 mastercard reward from Money Super Market fraud
I received a money supermarket reward for £10, which I converted to a Mastercard prepaid card, which is showing in Great British pounds as £10 available. I added it to Google wallet. Every time I try and spend it on multiple sites, including Marks and Spencer's online, for the exact amount of £10, it is constantly…

Inadvertent payment on Barclaycard Rewards with 0% balance outstanding
I have an unexpected charge on my Barclaycard Rewards card from Google Wallet (details here). It's a nuisance because I have a 0% balance transfer running with some time to go on that card - and I have avoided using it for any purchases (or advances). Obviously I want to avoid any interest charges. The 1% minimum payment…

Virgin - Expired Credit Card?
I used a Virgin CC a few years ago for a Balance Transfer. Was put away and never used it since whilst I was paying the balance off. They've emailed me with another offer on their BT which I'd like to take them up on; only thing is, I can't! My card had expired a year ago! The same card is on their app, which suggests they…
