Possible Abbey Transfer Card beware?

2»

Comments

  • Ah. That would explain the trouble I've been having. I went to a different branch today. The guy there spent ages on hold and being passed around different depts at MBNA to be told eventually that there WOULD be a charge of 2% even from a card that was opened in store. I think the MSE article linked above by Dan should be updated to remove the Abbey Blue/Pink Card from the list.

    I applied for another card now instead BTW.

    What's the best way of getting corrections done to that table? For example, it seems to indicate that Natwest is always Fee Free, however, from http://www.natwest.com/personal/services/creditcards/index.asp?navid=PERSONAL/ACCOUNTS_SERVICES/CREDIT_CARDS&pid=2#transfers
    Balance transfers - 0% interest for nine months from account opening

    If you owe money on other credit cards and store cards (but not other Royal Bank of Scotland Group cards), you can move the balances to your card and pay 0% interest for the first nine months from account opening. This service is free to existing NatWest current accountholders (2% of transferred balance for non current accountholders. Min £5, max £49). For balances transferred after the first nine months you will pay intrest at the standard variable rate for your card.
    (Emphasis mine)

  • Cheers for that Paul, Oversight on my part I'm afraid.

    The BTs article has been updated with that info for a while, but it didnt find it's way into the table unfortunately. I'll get it updated :)
